Course Overview: Dental caries is still the most prevalent oral disease. Preventing its development and/or progression can reduce dental tissue loss and, as a result, the complexity (and cost) of future restorative procedures. Due to the development of new materials and techniques, minimally invasive and preventive dental practices have advanced significantly. Antimicrobial, bioactive, biocompatible, bioinert, and/or biomimetic materials are among the numerous options currently available to clinicians. The correct application of techniques and indication of the materials are crucial to the success of a treatment plan. This course aims to provide clinicians with evidence-based information on how to apply complex preventive and minimally invasive concepts to clinical practice in a straightforward manner.
Anatomically Directed Endodontics: Ensuring Biologic and Functional Success

Course Overview: Revolutionary instruments access areas that traditional “round” NiTi cannot safely reach. After establishing a glide path, these instruments complete the cleaning to the maximum natural diameter while optimizing root strength. This conservative root treatment is completed by bioceramic root filling technology that does not shrink, wash out or require excessive preparation on the coronal third of the canal space. These new evolutionary
generation of 3D cleaning files and bioceramic technologies will obviate the shortcomings of round files with legacy filling techniques.
