Lecture Outline
The secret is out: doing more and better endodontics may be your best way to increase fun and production at the same time.
Why? Most patients in North America want their natural teeth. They have discovered that teeth are a key part of appearance and success. And while the dental implant is a predictable replacement for unrestorable endodontically diseased teeth, most endodontically diseased teeth can be predictably saved. In addition, most dentists have discovered that modern endodontics is easier and safer than ever before if you do it right. And most dentists are discovering that endodontics is one of the parts of their day that gives them the most control and unprecedented fulfillment. But how can you learn to do it right?
John West’s resonating teaching style will leave you with masterful endodontic skills that can be immediately implemented into your treatment day. And endodontics will be fun.
At the conclusion of John’s presentation, you will be able to:
- Unravel the toothache headache
- Understand the endodontic Rules of Nature
- Design successful access cavities
- Prepare a Glidepath for safe Rotary and Reciprocation Shaping
- Clean root canal systems in 3D
- Make a conefit for consistent 3D obturation
