EC7: Endodontic Therapy - Molar Tooth

Course Description: 

Endodontic treatment for molar teeth is often more difficult than in the anterior or premolar region. Molars have more complex root anatomy and visualization of the canal orifices is often challenging. An understanding of root anatomy and the proper access preparation shape will help assure successful completion of the endodontic procedure for molars.  

This course will emphasize a systematic workflow using examples of several endo filing and obturation systems.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, learners should be able to:

• Select the proper techniques for shaping canals in molars. 

• Summarize the disinfection and obturation protocols for molars.  

• Identify the restorative options for molars.   

This course is presented in an interactive format.
