Course Synopsis
This hands-on participation course addresses the concepts and details the skills necessary for acquiring the expertise and confidence to perform the highest quality endodontics. As a participant in our program, you will become familiar with the use of the "apex last" approach to canal shaping with nickel-titanium instrumentation using the TF™ (Twisted File) System, predictable irrigation protocols, and vertical condensation of thermo-softened gutta percha using The Continuous Wave of vertical condensation and the Elements™ Obturation System. The Continuous Wave of Obturation is trademarked by Dr. Stephen Buchanan. Soft Core™ an innovative gutta percha carrier based obturation system will be introduced.
This program is taught digitally by combining PowerPoint™, Flash™ animation, and Quick Time™ video clips.
Join us and Learn How To:
- Remove the smear layer with predictable irrigation protocols.
- Accurately locate the apical constriction.
- Shape the root canal space using NiTi technology in a safe and efficient manner-negotiation, apical gauging and apical finishing techniques. The TF™ (Twisted File) NiTi system will be discussed in detail.
- Obturate the root canal system in 3-D to capture the natural anatomy with the continuous wave of condensation using the Elements™ Obturation System.
- Soft-Core™ an innovative gutta percha carrier based obturation system will be introduced.
Attendees must provide 3 – 5 of their own extracted pre-accessed fully developed teeth (preferably multi canals) that are soaked in full strength bleach for 24 hours.
