MASTERCLASS

MINI RESIDENCY: Incorporating Technologies to Increase your Success in EndodonticsUniversity of Manitoba | Bannatyne Campus | Winnipeg, Manitoba Friday, September 25, 2015 – Theatre E, Pathology Building | 770 Bannatyne Avenue Saturday, September 26, 2015 – D112A Alpha Omega, Dentistry Building | 780 Bannatyne Avenue

OVERVIEWFor general dentists, endodontics often can be difficult and frustrating. Incorporating technology into daily practice will provide the tools and confidence required to take on more challenging cases. This evidence-based, hands-on course will focus on essential technologies that are critical for the successful treatment of numerous endodontic scenarios.

This two-day course includes lectures, live demonstrations and a hands-on component, all designed to educate and train general dentists how to perform endodontic procedures with greater precision and ease. Course experts will teach safe, efficient and predictably successful endodontic techniques that may be implemented immediately into practice.

The Friday morning session includes lectures that will explore access opening, cleaning and shaping concepts and the importance of glide path management. The role of irrigants in disinfecting the root canal system and choice of irrigants will be discussed, in addition to other clinical procedures. On Friday afternoon, participants will observe a live demonstration of Dr. Cunha performing a root canal on a patient that will be broadcast from the dental clinic. Participants will have the opportunity to observe and ask questions during the procedure.

During the Saturday session experts will provide over-the-shoulder coaching in simulation exercises. The hands-on experience is designed to reinforce information provided during the lectures and live demonstration on Friday. This segment of the program will help course registrants further hone their technical skills to achieve optimal endodontic outcomes. The 1:4 instructor-to-participant ratio provides the opportunity for enhanced over-the-shoulder coaching.

This mini-residency will provide the learning platform to make endodontic procedures easier for the general practitioner, in addition to increasing clinical efficiencies, improving patient outcomes and maximizing return on investment.

Attendance at Saturday’s hands-on session is limited to 12 participants.

“Dynamic teaching style and relevant and progressive material.”

COURSE OBJECTIVESUpon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Apply the microsonics concept to improve the ability to detect additional canals.

• Recognize the importance of three-dimensional imaging in order to assess dental anatomy prior to endodontic treatment/retreatment.

• Use dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for imaging in cases where regular dental or facial radiographs are insufficient for diagnosing.

• Evaluate and address coronal microleakage.

• Perform procedures to access an opening that allows straight-line access to the root canal.

• Differentiate rotary from reciprocating motion and discuss the advantages and limitations of each type of motion.

• Utilize various technologies and instruments to achieve the best results for shaping canals; clean and shape teeth for the preservation of dentin.

• Differentiate between various irrigants as adjuncts for disinfection of the root canal system, and perform disinfection utilizing appropriate instruments/tools.

• Explain the importance of glide path and the role of unobstructed instrumentation in prevention of file fracture.

• Fill root-canal systems using the 3D obturation technique.

• Replace temporary restorations with permanent restorations on a clinically-appropriate basis.
