Credit Details
This electronically delivered self-instructional program is designated for 1.5 hours of CE credit by Farran Media.
AGD Code: 070.
Synopsis:
Even if not new in endodontics, the reciprocating motion has been recently applied to specifically designed nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments. Reciprocation has reduced the risk of fracture due to torsion and to the accumulation of metal fatigue, which are the main shortcoming of rotary NiTi instruments. After 4 years of extensive clinical use, research and teaching of all these instruments, the lecturers will describe and explain the several advantages that are related to the use of this kind of movement. Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
Know the history of reciprocation in endodontics Describe the basic concepts of modern reciprocation Describe the basic properties of the different reciprocating instruments Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the reciprocating movement Perform new strategies for optimize root canal preparation with reciprocating instruments.
