- Description
It has long been the goal of endodontic therapy to eliminate the bacteria which cause infection and encourage a natural healing response in the body. Mechanical debridement is one step toward this end game. But the real key, according to Dr. Donnie Luper, a practicing endodontist, is the irrigation protocol. The old adage of instruments shape and irrigants clean is as true today as it ever was. In this presentation, Dr. Luper will address both the why and the how when it comes to canal disinfection.
Course Objectives
- Identify and discuss the different steps in a modern endodontic irrigation protocol.
- Discuss the reasons for activation of irrigants during the irrigation phase of endodontic therapy.
- Identify situations where a two-visit disinfection process may be advantageous.
