Root Canal treatment is a difficult and technically demanding aspect of General Dentistry. A greater understanding of the complex nature of the root canal system and advances in microbiological testing mean we have more knowledge to achieve better long term outcomes for our patients. New developments in file design, materials and motors have made the cleaning and shaping of the root canal system more predictable and safer. This can all be achieved with guided access and dentine preservation strategies to give the tooth the best possible chance of long term survival. The aim of this one day course will be the introduction of some new concepts in access and preparation and discussion of the chemo-mechanical cleaning of the entire root canal system. There will be many useful take home gems that can be incorporated in your surgery endodontic routine. The course will be presented with interactive seminar styled, case based lectures and hands on components using natural and True Teeth models. During this program practitioners will learn: ● Thinking in 3D and what CBCT brings to Endodontics ● Anatomy directed access concepts with dentine preservation strategies. Discussion of burs and instruments required to achieve this. ● Learn accurate methods of working length determination using different methods with an emphasis on the electronic apex locator. ● Describe irrigation protocols based on current concepts of endodontic microbiology ● Biologically based root canal preparation and introduction to reciprocating TFA files

Clinical photography is not just about beautiful white teeth or cosmetic artistry. With today’s digital technology every dentist can chronicle what they see in the mouth, whether for general records or whenever the situation warrants photographic documentation. The closest thing to the reality of the mouth is a photograph. X-rays do not show failing restorations, crack lines and wear patterns; notes cannot always clearly indicate the sequence of events in a clinical session; study models poorly represent the restored nature of teeth and the health of soft tissues. The routine use of digital photography can significantly enhance record-taking, validate clinical decisions and provide an impressive tool for patient education and practice marketing. Attendees will see reviews of all types of cameras and the armamentarium required to take extra and intra-oral pictures. People easily comprehend visual data and this course will show instant quality images can dramatically improve patient understanding and acceptance of treatment recommendations. This course will be an invaluable experience for general dentists and specialists and will be useful for general photography as well. Topics include •Photographs as part of records and communication in everyday dental practice •Images for patient education… ‘I want you to see what I see’ •The essence of exposure, aperture and ISO in digital photography and overcoming the difficulties of hand-held macro photography •All the information on cameras and recommended systems as well as retractors, mirrors etc •The proper technique for taking intra-oral and extra-oral images •Better patient acceptance of treatment using photography and descriptive statements Further event information
