Working Length in Endodontics – Latest Update

Working length determination is an essential step in endodontic treatment. It involves determining the position of the apical constriction or the apical foramen, and subsequently determining the proper length for cleaning and shaping the root canal space. Proper working length determination is critical for effective cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal system. The course “Working Length in Endodontics – Latest Update” provides modern techniques to determine an accurate working length, the ideal limit of root canal preparation and obturation, using apex locators, apical patency, and a Q&A session.

The course is presented by Prof. Arnaldo Castellucci, an expert in endodontics with extensive experience in teaching and clinical practice. Prof. Castellucci is well-known for his research in endodontics, and his contribution to the advancement of endodontic techniques.

The course is designed for endodontic practitioners who wish to improve their skills and knowledge of modern techniques for working length determination. The course is also beneficial for general practitioners who perform endodontic treatments.

The course consists of five videos with a total duration of two hours and thirty-four minutes. The videos cover the following topics:

Video 1: Modern techniques to determine an accurate working length

This video covers modern techniques used to determine the working length accurately. The video explains how to use electronic apex locators, digital radiographs, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for working length determination. The advantages and limitations of each method are discussed in detail.

Video 2: Which is the ideal limit of root canal preparation and obturation?

This video discusses the ideal limit of root canal preparation and obturation. The video explains the importance of maintaining the original canal shape and the ideal taper for root canal preparation. The video also covers the different obturation techniques used in endodontics and their advantages and disadvantages.

Video 3: Using apex locators

This video discusses the use of apex locators in endodontics. The video explains how apex locators work and their advantages and limitations. The video also covers the proper technique for using apex locators for working length determination.

Video 4: Apical Patency

This video discusses the concept of apical patency in endodontics. The video explains the importance of maintaining apical patency and how it can improve the cleaning and shaping of the root canal system. The video also covers the proper technique for achieving apical patency.

Video 5: Q&A

This video covers questions and answers related to working length determination in endodontics. The video covers common questions asked by practitioners and provides practical solutions to these problems.

In summary, “Working Length in Endodontics – Latest Update” is a comprehensive course that provides modern techniques for working length determination in endodontics. The course is presented by an expert in the field and is beneficial for both endodontic specialists and general practitioners. The course provides a practical approach to working length determination, which is critical for the success of endodontic treatment.
