COURSE OVERVIEW
There are many challenges in Endodontics but if modern clinical techniques are carefully followed, many common endodontic problems can be avoided. These are but a few challenges…
Incorrectly designed access cavities may make root canals both difficult to identify and to instrument. Clinical outcome studies show that a failure to identify and debride all the root canal system is a major reason for persistent apical periodontitis. Many root canals, particularly in elderly patients, are difficult to locate. The pulp chambers may be sclerosed or contain large pulp stones and the root canals may be so fine that even when located, they are difficult to negotiate.
This session will provide you with the ‘Tips and Tricks’ to enhance your problem-solving ability during endodontic treatment, while covering the below topics:
- Value of CBCT
- Skills and techniques to negotiate tricky canals
- MB2 canals and 4 canals in molars
- Techniques for establishing working length techniques
- Why endodontically treated teeth fail and how to optimise success
