Aims

Following completion of the two day course, participants will be able to apply their knowledge to:

  • correctly select those endodontic cases with which modern preparation and obturation techniques can be applied.
  • Participants will have an understanding of the limitations of each technique enabling them to effectively plan endodontic procedures within their practicing arrangements. This will result in both reduced levels of operator stress whilst optimising the technical standard of their root fillings.
Objectives

By the end of the 2 days participants will have an understanding of:

  • Case pre-selection
  • Hand instrumentation using the Step Down technique
  • The application of a simplified single instrument (WaveOne Gold) technique
  • The application of ProTaper Next™
  • How to use the X-Smart™ Plus Endodontic Motor
  • The cold lateral compaction technique (advantages and disadvantages, and customising the master cone)
  • Heated (intra-canal, extra-canal and thermoplastic) techniques, including pre-coated carrier techniques; advantages and drawbacks
  • The availability of various sealers and their characteristics
  • GP and Resin-based obturation
  • Post hole preparation
  • Hands-on obturation using the Calamus System and GuttaCore techniques

Participants will have an understanding of the correct application of the above techniques through the use of real patient cases
