Anatomically Centered Endodontics (ACE): A Modern Approach to Root Canal Success

Speaker:  Dr. Chafic Safi

Modern endodontics is evolving beyond mechanical shaping and traditional access designs toward a biologically and anatomically centered approach that respects the natural complexity of the root canal system. This course is designed for practitioners who want to elevate their endodontic outcomes by understanding and working with the tooth’s internal anatomy, not against it. Through a combination of concise theory and extensive hands- on training, participants learn how to recognize, interpret, and treat the three-dimensional complexities of root canal systems using evidence-based, anatomy-guided techniques. Topics include conservative canal instrumentation compromising less dentin, simple and comprehensive irrigation protocol, and obturation strategies that fill, not force, into anatomical spaces. Participants will not only learn the principles behind anatomically centered endodontics but also practice and test these techniques on simulated and extracted teeth, gaining practical confidence in tools, materials, and decision-making for everyday clinical scenarios.
