4 (2 votes)

CE Hours: 1.0

Description: To attempt to look into the future is of course difficult, but there are trends in today’s general dentistry practice that most likely will affect the specialty of endodontics and it is important that we as specialists are aware of these trends. In addition, new technological devices are constantly arriving and usually their main goal is to simplify the technically difficult endodontic treatment. This is of course welcome for the practicing endodontist, but it will also lower the threshold for the general practitioner who may have hesitated to include a technically difficult area into his/her practice. Also, Artificial Intelligence is opening possibilities to create devices that may be able to take over the cleaning, shaping and filling of root canals. It is important for the endodontics specialist to be aware of the future of advanced technology in our field.

    Describe present trends in general dentistry that may profoundly influence the future of our specialty.
  • Evaluate new technology that is launched to simplify endodontic therapy.
  • Describe the changes that artificial intelligence can bring to endodontics.
