SP-16 Histological Study on the Efficacy of Advanced Irrigation Techniques of the Root Canal System
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: The aim of endodontic therapy is the reduction of bacteria by chemo/mechanical procedures as bacteria persisting within the root canal system as major cause for the failure of endodontic treatment. One of the factors that may affect our mechanical preparations is the complexity of root canal anatomy however new technologies have recently been introduced and appear to improve the efficacy of this very important aspect of root canal disinfection. Laser Assisted Irrigation (LAI) and Multisonic Ultracleaning technologies improve root canal disinfection greatly and allow for “minimally invasive endodontics” leading to the use of fewer instruments, conserving more tooth structure and the reduction of treatment duration. This presentation will illustrate the efficacy of these technologies using histological serial sections, scanning electron and confocal microscopy. Attendees will see the effects of debridement, disinfection and dentin sparing results objectively measured.
- Describe the role of bacteria in endodontic disease
- Describe the characteristics of LAI and multisonication ultra-cleaning technology
- Describe and identify the efficacy of the new technologies of the root canal and dentin disinfection.
