Speaker Biography "Realizing Success in Endodontics" A Scientific Approach - Presented by Dr. Sergio Kuttler The field of endodontics is experiencing a virtual explosion of new techniques, instruments and materials. How many of these will stand the test of time is yet to be determined. Many claims and existing guidelines for selecting a NiTi file system are: • Based on contemporary authors and lecturers • Derived from possibly outdated philosophies • Anecdotally based on clinical experience without scientific approach (evidence based) The limitations of existing guidelines include: • They do not take recent research into account • They do not discuss goals or predictable methods for obtaining clean canals and 3D obturation • They emphasize the importance of instrument sequence to shape root canals so they look good radiographically after obturation |
