Endodontic Trouble-Shooting

Presented by Dr Stephen Blackler and Dr David Barnard

Prevention and management of procedural problems in clinical practice

This two day program is aimed at general practitioners who want first-hand experience in techniques to reduce the incidence of problems encountered in day-to-day clinical practice.
Covering treatment strategies for frequently encountered instrumentation and obturation problems in clinical practice, this program will feature interactive seminars as well as practical treatment exercises on extracted teeth. A range of rotary Ni-Ti systems and files, and obturation materials and instruments will be available for you to use during the practical exercises.

This intensive program will be invaluable for clinicians serious about making endodontics an important and growing part of their practice.

Topics include

Advances in endodontic instruments and instrumentation techniques
Modifications to instrumentation techniques to reduce incidence of problems
Finding and accessing canals
How to avoid loss of length/apical occlusion
Strategies to avoid canal transportation
Bypassing the canal obstruction or ledge
Managing the iatrogenic perforation

Microscopy and Endodontic practice
Good illumination and magnification are fundamental to endodontic success. Operating microscopes, courtesy of Zeiss and Henry Schein Halas Equipment, will be available for all participants to use while completing the hands-on exercises.
