5 Challenges for an Endodontist

5 Challenges for an Endodontist is organized by OHI-S.

Total Lecture Time: 10h 29 min

Description:
The course focuses on 5 issues that endodontists often face:

• Curved root canals (with double S-curvature, with a curvature of more than 90 degrees): detection, preparation, irrigation and obturation
• Calcified root canals: CBCT, modified access, removal of pulp stones
• Endodontic of tooth with indirect restoration: a decision-making strategy
• Post removal: step-by-step removal protocol depending on the post type
• Broken files: removal or bypass.

Lesson 1.Treatment of curved canals

- Final formation of canal.

– The philosophy of mechanical treatment of canals

– Risks when working with curved canals:

- Steps formation

- Blockages

- Perforations 

- Broken files: torsion and cyclic fatigue.

– Principles of working with different types of curvature

– Advantages of the Irrigation needle IrriFlex®

– Canals with double S-curvature: processing protocol
