Advances in Irrigation and Sealing of the Root Canal System

1.5 Credit Hours

Disinfecting and obturating the root canal system involves treating just that – a complex system of anatomical structures. Recent advances in irrigation and sealing technologies offer the potential to address the most difficult aspects of canal morphology that may have gone untouched by previous techniques. As active irrigation techniques and bioceramic sealers continue to gain favor in the endodontic community, this may in turn, prompt changes in shaping philosophy.

This technology-focused lecture will meet the following objectives:

  • Introduce a new method for active irrigation that is beneficial, efficient, and cost-effective.
  • Discuss a simple and effective, yet often overlooked tool for endodontic diagnosis and the evaluation of cracks and fissures.
  • Discuss the use of bioceramic sealers and how they differ from traditional endodontic sealers and from one another.
  • Explore rotary file choice for thin, compromised, or otherwise challenging roots, and how this may relate to your current armamentarium.
