Streamlining Your Root Canal Treatments is organized by Ultradent Products, Inc. and will be held on Sep 27, 2019 at Renaissance Nashville Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Dentist and Team Members. This CE Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7 CE Credits. Overview: Proper cleaning and shaping of the canal space is a prerequisite for achieving clinical success in endodontics. Studies have shown that the best movement to be applied in endodontic instruments is Roane’s Balanced Force technique. The engine-driven Balanced Force, or asymmetric reciprocating motion, has recently been applied to specifically designed nickel-titanium instruments, reducing the risk of fracture due to the accumulation of metal fatigue, which is the leading limitation of rotary nickel-titanium instruments. Though three times safer than the rotary movement, reciprocation alone has a downside of debris accumulation inside the canal. Objectives: • The benefits and limitations of reciprocation and rotation • The importance of file design and how this aspect can improve the instrumentation results • How to determine the working length electronically • An intuitive 2-file instrumentation technique, taking advantage of the two different kinematics • How to perform a superior cleaning using ultrasonification • The application of MTA repair cement • How to accomplish an effective single-cone obturation technique Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

These thread lift courses are not only taught by Top Physician instructors (which is the only responsible way to train on threads, beware of non-physician instructors!), but also we are not supported or backed by any ONE thread lift supplier like most other trainers. The advantage to this kind of non-biased training is that the practitioner will not only be able to decide for himself which thread product is the best or suitable for his practice, but, can also learn the benefits of each of the thread products over the other. There is no one product which can do everything (in spite of what may be said) and the Empire course will teach you how to choose the best thread for the procedure and the individual patient.

Each participant will understand and learn how to avoid risks, pitfalls, complications, and adverse events to patients to increase overall care and patient results. • Apply generally accepted protocols and latest literature concerning the selection, placement, and volume of PDO sutures for optimal results for patients.
