SP-56 Obturation in the New Small World
CE: 1.0
Course Description:
Endodontic success is dependent on many things we do as practitioners. It is important that we effectively debride and disinfect the root canal system, however once this is completed, the system must be sealed both coronally and apically to ensure a greater chance for success. With advances in technology that allow us to debride minimally prepared canals, our techniques to obturate these small spaces have changed. This presentation will revisit the goals of obturation and discuss multiple techniques from single cone to carrier-based systems with a focus on the future of obturation.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Discuss current research related to endodontic obturation.
- Describe the limitations associated with obturating small canal preparations.
- Evaluate techniques that allow for efficient obturation of small spaces that achieve the goals of obturation.
