Optimum Endodontic Irrigation: What’s New? What’s the Evidence
CE Hours: 0
Description: The presentation will look at canal system irrigation with the intent of understanding how various modalities work and how effective they are. The recently introduced multisonic, fluid dynamic irrigation technology works in a fundamentally different way than traditional needle irrigation. Its method of action will be looked at in-depth so participants can understand exactly how it works. Once explained, this action will be visualized with macro video in anatomically accurate clear plastic tooth models. During this, a direct comparison will be made with traditional irrigation protocols. Issues of effectiveness, safety and cost will be examined. The presentation will be summarized with a discussion of the ramification of this technology on our broader shaping and obturation concepts.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Describe the various irrigation protocols used today in endodonitcs
- Describe the advantages and disadvantaages of each irrigation protocol
- Describe the method of action of the new multisonic fluid dynamic driven irrigation devise and how this technology impacts traditional endodontic treatment protocols
