null / Endodontics

In the last few years, we have heard a lot about minimally invasive dentistry. The common point is tissue preservation, preferably by preventing disease from occurring and intercepting its progress, but also removing and replacing with as little tissue loss as possible. This concept can embrace all aspects and fields of our profession.
Today all three main phases of modern endodontics (access opening, shaping and obturation) can be managed minimally invasive. Although on these issues there is often disagreement and their application turns out to be empirical and subjective. The authors will explain the rationale behind their choices and will give a predictable and reproducible protocol to reach the goal of being effective and at the same time minimally invasive, in all steps of endodontics: access opening, shaping and obturation.

Aims, objectives and learning outcomes:

Gain a greater understanding of minimally invasive endodontic dentistry, taking into consideration:

  • Access opening: Biomechanical loss of structure 
  • The past and actual orientation: traditional vs ninja
  • Clinical protocols for an effective and feasible procedure 
  • Canal Scouting as a fundamental pillar 
  • Shaping: less or more? 
  • Anatomy driven protocols 
  • Obturation: Single cone and Bioceramic, and Continuous wave of condensation rational behind the techniques 
  • For the hands-on aspect of this workshop bring extracted teeth for shaping and obturation under the guidance of the lecturer.
