Course Description:
Which tooth is it? What anesthetic is best? Which filesystem should I use? How do I fill a canal? What is the best restoration after endodontic treatment? Which pain medications and antibiotics are best? These endodontic tips of technological advances will allow you to provide efficient and excellent endodontic care for your patients.

This evidence based one day participation course will allow you to separate the facts from the fiction with diagnosis and treatment planning; anesthesia, access, isolation; the instrumentation phase of endodontic treatment with locating the canal orifices, negotiating the canals, opening the orifice, reconfirming working length, and utilizing “cutting edge” rotary/reciprocation instruments; recent improvements in the delivery of irrigation solutions that have enhanced the reduction of bacteria and debris in the root canal system; condensation of gutta-percha that has improved with technological advances; restoration of endodontic treated teeth; and post-operative care with appropriate antibiotics and pain medications.
Learning Objectives:

1. List 15 steps of diagnosis emphasizing medical/dental history, radiographs.
2. Outline the progression of local anesthetics, access, and isolation.
3. Utilize rotary/reciprocation instrumentation.
4. Identify the different delivery of irrigation solutions.
5. Demonstrate the different delivery procedures for obturation.
6. Evaluate the different restorative procedures following endodontics.
7. Discern the correct pain medications and utilization of antibiotics.
