The Future of Endodontic Irrigation — Measure What Matters
Educational Objectives
By attending this webinar you will learn how to:
-
Differentiate between perceived irrigation effectiveness and measurable disinfection outcomes within the root canal system.
-
Explain the biological and chemical principles of endodontic irrigation, including the role of activation, solution dynamics, and tissue dissolution.
-
Evaluate limitations of radiographs as the sole determinant of endodontic success and describe why radiographic appearance does not equate to microbial control.
-
Incorporate chairside 10-second irrigation verification technology into clinical workflow to elevate predictability and standard of care.
Abstract
Whether you’ve invested in lasers, (ultra)sonic activation, specialized irrigation systems—or even purchased a gallon of bleach from a big-box store—you assume your irrigation protocol is effectively disinfecting the canal system.
But how do you know?
Until now, clinicians have relied primarily on radiographs to evaluate success. Today, irrigation effectiveness can be quantified chairside in just 10 seconds. No more asking yourself, “Have I irrigated long enough?” or “Did I miss a canal?”
This lecture will focus on irrigation science and the newest chairside technology that is transforming the way we practice endodontics—for the better. Regardless of your current protocol, this course will introduce a tool you won’t want to practice without.
