Nearly 25 years after the introduction of Nickel Titanium Rotary Files to endodontics, we’ve learned much about the clinical strengths and limitations of these great instruments. We now have both heat treated and non-heat treated rotary files. They each possess different properties and both have indications for use as well as limitations.

At Real World Endo, we believe these improvements should be employed to their utmost advantage. Consequently, we have developed a blended technique that combines the advantages of both heat treated and non-heat treated files into one Awesome Endodontic Technique!!! In this hands-on workshop, our new “Blend Technique” will be introduced and all participants will learn how to use it effectively in all root canal types.

Furthermore, a simple yet effective obturation method will be introduced that combines the latest in material science with endodontic synchronicity for passive, bonded root canal obturation. At the conclusion of the presentation, all participants will: 1. Understand the benefits of using both heat treated and non heated treated files together in one awesome technique!!! 2. Fully comprehend the benefits of bonded obturation using the latest in bioceramic technology. 3. Recognize the myriad uses of piezo electric ultrasonics. 4. Recognize that ‘Great Endodontics’ can be accomplished in both a safe and simple manner. The key is to combine new technology with long established, evidence-based endodontic principles.
