Dr. Fleury will focus on current concepts of root canal access preparation, instrumentation, and obturation. Emphasis will be placed on clinical factors that help improve the long-term successful outcomes when utilizing modern and efficient techniques. This half-day lecture will include a discussion on the use of effective irrigation protocols to improve clinical outcomes and incorporating ultrasonic technology during the irrigation phase of treatment. A blended instrumentation technique that combines heat-treated and non-heat-treated files to achieve a robust instrumentation protocol and incorporating a bioceramic based obturation technique for simple and effective root canal obturation is also discussed along with a simple drill-less post technique and techniques for achieving profound local anesthesia and controlling post-operative pain.

Course Objectives:

• Learn a robust blended instrumentation system achieving safe cleaning and shaping of a variety of root canal shapes and sizes.
• Learn to obturate the shaped canals with a simple and efficient, bioceramic based obturation technique.
• Learn how to achieve profound local anesthesia for root canal treatment.
