2025 Courses and Events

Description:

This interactive workshop introduces participants to advanced protocols for achieving predictable and successful endodontic outcomes. Attendees will focus on techniques for optimal debridement, disinfection, and single cone obturation using bioceramic sealer technology. Emphasis will be placed on dentin conservation, effective sealing of the root and coronal spaces, and preservation of the residual clinical crown structure. Participants will learn the principles behind minimally invasive, anatomically centered 3D cleaning through virtual core NiTi instrumentation and bioceramic obturation methods, demonstrated with hands-on practice.

• to utilize 3D Shapers for optimal canal preparation
• to use 3D Finishers for enhanced canal cleaning
• the Single Cone Gutta Percha Obturation Technique
• proper application techniques for bioceramic sealers to achieve a fluid-tight seal

Description:

This immersive workshop guides participants through cutting-edge protocols designed to improve the predictability and success of endodontic treatment, using the latest anatomically driven XP Shapers and Finishers. These innovative instruments allow clinicians to shape canals from size 15 to 30 with a single file. Emphasis will be placed on conservative yet precise access techniques and strategies for locating difficult anatomy, such as MB2 canals in maxillary molars and second distal canals in mandibular molars. Participants are encouraged to bring extracted teeth that have been accessed and prepared to a size 10 hand file in the main canals. The workshop will also include hands-on practice sealing simulated perforations in clear plastic models using Fast Set BC Putty and BC Liner. Time permitting, those who complete the initial exercises will be invited to explore retreatment techniques using XP Shapers and ultrasonic instrumentation with cordless electronic handpieces.

• perform conservative access and locate complex canal anatomy
• use 3D Shapers/Finishers for efficient canal preparation
• apply the Single Cone Gutta Percha Obturation Technique
• seal perforations using BC Putty and BC Liner
• execute retreatment of previously filled canals
