FRIDAY

This lecture course is a prerequisite of the Saturday hands-on course.

Overview:

With its multimedia approach, this course teaches dentists to make consistently accurate diagnoses. Experience new breakthroughs in: applying a modern, sensible rationale for successful endodontics; pathogenesis of pulpal and periradicular diseases; simplified accurate precise endodontic diagnosis; and effective and productive emergency treatment.

Course Objectives:

• Schilderian Rationale for Endodontics – the triad of success
• How to perform all pulp tests and understand interpretations
• Simplified and practical clinical diagnosis of the pulpal and periradicular diseases
• Pathogenesis of the sequential pulpal degeneration
• The “blood and sweat” of endodontics: painless and profound anesthesia, pre-treatment, simplified rubber dam, access opening, and effective emergency management of pain, cleaning & shaping, 3-D vertical compaction of warm gutta percha

SATURDAY

This is a hands-on course.

Overview:

This multimedia course will teach you to feel, fill, and thrill accessory canals. The course will cover micro CT on a real apex; root canal anatomy; radiographic techniques; filling accessory canals and dentinal tubules with gutta-percha and the gutta-percha/dentinal wall interface; effective passive sequential serial filling and reaming with envelope of motion to achieve the “look”; understand radiographic terminus, working length, maintaining apical patency by finger instruments; slide and slip calcified, double curve canals, and avoiding ledges using 10 tricks and copious irrigant system; 5 mechanical and 5 biological objectives; the Schilder warm gutta-percha vertical compaction technique with emphasis on accessory canals and hermetically sealing the portals of exit of the root canal system; how to downpack and backpack using the thermal profile and hysdrostatic/hydraulic pressure of viscous sealer; underextension, overextension, underfill, overfill, and coronal versus apical leakage; one versus multiple-visit endodontics; factor X affecting success rate; and how to achieve excellence in endodontics and maintain a profitable income.  The course will answer questions about sealer, Thermafil, irrigation systems, coronal leakage. The participants’ cases will be reviewed and critiqued.

Course Objectives:

• Learn straight line access opening
• Passive and yet effective cleaning and shaping
• Learn Schilder warm gutta-percha technique
• Understand Micro CT on root canal anatomy, radiographic techniques, effective and painless anesthetic technique, access opening, cleaning and shaping, and 3D packing
