OVERVIEW

Quality Resource Guide: A Guide to Contemporary Endodontic Technology (4th Edition) is organized by MetLife and will be held from Nov 01, 2016 - Dec 31, 2020. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.0 continuing education credits.

Course Description:
Dentists always faced the challenge of making good decisions regarding the incorporation of new technology into their practice. Questions of reliability, relative effectiveness, predictability, the effect on outcomes of care, and cost all need to be answered based on objective, non-biased assessments. The fourth edition of this Guide provides the practitioner information about newer diagnostic instruments including cone beam and digital imaging, electronic apex locators, rotary instrumentation, disinfection and root canal filling in a concise format. The newest science is reviewed with regard to instrumentation and filling materials. The extensive references provide the reader with the basis for the author’s evaluation of the various technologies. This Guide can serve as a fundamental resource for the practitioner initiating or expanding the delivery of endodontic therapy within their practice.

Educational Objectives:
Following this unit of instruction, the learner should be able to:
• Learn of the importance of evidence-based practice in endodontics.
• Understand recent advances as well as contemporary concepts and technologies used in endodontic practice.
• Learn about outcome studies in which the effectiveness of these technologies has been evaluated.
• Learn about some promising newer concepts and technologies for which insufficient evidence currently exists.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
