Synopsis:
The anatomy of root canal systems is a highly complex and convoluted space which presents a difficult challenge to fully cleanse. The mechanical debridement of these root canal system spaces with instruments serves to create a pathway for the chemical irrigation to flow and reach the accessory anatomy that our instruments are unable to access.

Historically, the standard technique for root canal irrigation has been positive pressure needle irrigation into the pulp chamber and coronal third of the canals. Today, innovations in irrigation technology are available which allow a safer and more thorough method to flow solutions deep into the root canal systems.

This course will introduce and describe four innovative irrigation technologies: ultrasonic activated, apical negative pressure, laser activated and multisonic activated irrigation. Each irrigation technology will be presented in a standardized format to allow the learner to evaluate each one based on the mechanism of action, clinical technique, performance and practicality. Evidence based support will be presented for each method to validate the efficacy of each technology. Recommendations on how to determine what method may be practical in different types of practice settings will conclude the course.


Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
  • Discuss the anatomical complexities of root canal systems.
  • Explore the historical limitations of our clinical techniques to fully cleanse the convoluted root canal spaces.
  • Understand how the risks of a sodium hypochlorite accident with positive pressure irrigation results in ultraconservative placement of solutions.
  • Describe four innovative endodontic irrigation technologies: ultrasonic activated, apical negative pressure, laser activated and multisonic activated irrigation.
  • Understand the mechanism of action, clinical technique, performance and practicality of each modality.
  • Present literature based evidence to support the clinical use of each technology.
  • Discuss recommendations on how to decide which innovative device or protocol will be best suited to meet each participant's expectations for clinical performance and practicality in different practice settings.
