About This DVD
The purpose of this video is to powerfully demonstrate endodontic treatment techniques you can utilize to consistently shape canals and three-dimensionally clean and fill root canal systems. Techniques are demonstrated utilizing 3-D graphics and animation, extracted teeth and operatory patients. All procedures have been performed to optimally transfer knowledge and maximize your learning experience. Note the DVD is available in an ONLINE-ONLY version (i.e. no hardcopy disc available for purchase anymore)
This DVD is intended to be a comprehensive reference
source for conventional endodontic treatment
and includes the following topics:
Rationale for Treatment
Appreciate how pulpal breakdown, disease flow and root canal systems impact the restorative practice.
Shaping Techniques
"Ruddle on Rotary" techniques allow you to safely and efficiently shape canals with emphasis on internal and external anatomy.
Patient Diagnosis
Learn the 3-step endo exam, how to identify pulpally involved teeth, and find the “pot of gold”.
Hydrodynamic Disinfection
Visualize how fluid activation encourages debridement and disinfection. Cleaning root canal systems promotes 3-D obturation.
Access Preparation
Achieve complete, straightline access to all orifices and create the opening for canal preparation.
3-D Obturation
Step-by-step techniques demonstrate how to predictably fill root canal systems using warm gutta percha methods.
Concepts & Strategies
Learn how to sequence the prep, establish working length, and consistently manage the glide path.
Coronal Restoration
Appreciate the importance of achieving the “rest of the seal” and how to properly finish successful endodontic treatment.
