About this Event
Endodontics plays a critical role in preventing and eliminating apical periodontitis by reducing the microbial content in the root canal system. Extensive research has shown that mechanical debridement combined with thorough irrigation is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. With various irrigation protocols claiming to effectively eradicate microorganisms, it's essential to consider the type of irrigant and the agitation techniques. This presentation aims to explore the biological and morphological challenges for root canal disinfection and evaluate the practical impact of available protocols on treatment outcomes. We will assess different methods, including syringes, manual agitation, positive or negative apical pressure, and sonic or ultrasonic activation of irrigants from biological, clinical, and scientific standpoints. The presentation will feature clinical cases and discuss the potential impact of the available evidence.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Identify etiological factors that influence the outcomes
- Differentiate between various irrigation and debridement techniques
- Understand technology as an important adjunct
- Describe the critical steps for success
