Educational Objectives

After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:

•Assess the criteria for a successful endodontic procedure.

•Accurately locate the apical constriction, and troubleshooting tips.

•“Own the canal” by creating a Glide Path from orifice to apical terminus.

•Shape the root canal space using NiTi technology in a safe and efficient manner. A NEW multi-setting motor utilizing Adaptive Motion Technology, will be introduced.

Abstract

This webinar will address breakthrough shaping and irrigation concepts and detail the skills necessary for acquiring the expertise and confidence to perform the highest quality endodontics. The participants of this presentation will become familiar with the use of the “apex last” approach to canal shaping with nickel-titanium instrumentation using the TFA™ (Twisted File) Adaptive System, using Adaptive Motion Technology. Learn how Adaptive Motion technology provides the advantages of rotary and reciprocation but minimizes the disadvantages of both. The continuous feedback loop from file to motor allows the movement of the file to self adjust to the intracanal torsional stresses providing effective and most importantly safe root canal shaping.
