Course #: 3600
Date: 11/30/2025
Time: 9:45am - 12:45pm
Course Info: Half Day
Speaker(s):
Marcus Johnson, DDS, MSD

Topic: Endodontics
Tuition: $430.00
Credits: 3
AGD Number: 070 – Endodontics- Emerging Concepts, Techniques, Therapies and Technology
Recommended For:
Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Students, Educator

Description:

This evidence-based course begins with a review of the biology of local anesthetics, providing a foundation for reliably achieving profound anesthesia— especially in cases involving the “hot tooth.” The presentation then delves into strategies for efficient access to the pulp chamber and the identification of root canal system orifices, with a special focus on calcified canals and the often-elusive MB2 canal. Using anatomical landmarks, attendees will learn a systematic approach for minimally invasive engagement with the canal system. The course also covers a shaping protocol designed to successfully navigate even the most highly curved canals.

Learn:

• the biological objectives of achieving profound pulpal anesthesia in the hot tooth
• how to predictably locate canals in calcified cases, find MB2 & gain patency
• understand thermomechanical processing and electrical discharge machining for the manufacturing of rotary files and why this is superior to milled NiTi files
• to examine real-world endodontic teeth to facilitate the integration of cutting-edge technology
