In dental school, we are exposed to a handful of obturation techniques and expert opinions. As new sealers and pulp capping products become popular, many clinicians are left wondering if they should adopt new techniques. But, are they proven to work? Are there misconceptions about how and when to use bioactive sealers? Can simpler techniques be used, rather than more complex treatment protocols? In this webinar, we will discuss real-world advice, evidence from dental literature, and discuss how obturation strategies are changing with time!
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Determine how obturation helps achieve long-term endodontic success.
- Assess the success of cold vs. warm obturation techniques.
- Appraise whether bioactive / mineral-based sealers provide clinical benefits.
- Review and analyze results of recent publications on root canal obturation.
- Consider how modern vital pulp therapy techniques may achieve similar objectives to root canal obturation.
