Speaker:  Alex Mehler, DMD Bioceramic materials have rapidly transformed the landscape of endodontics—shifting from niche applications to becoming a mainstay in modern root canal therapy. Attendees will explore the unique properties of bioceramic sealers, clinical advantages, and practical applications in everyday cases, with a focus on how these materials enhance outcomes, simplify workflows, and support […]

Speaker:  Chafic Safi, DMD, MS   The goal of any endodontic treatment is to prevent or treat apical periodontitis- microbial control. This goal is achieved through the synergistic effect of the famous endodontic triad: Instrumentation, irrigation, and obturation of the root canal anatomy. Anatomically Centered Endodontics, ACE, is a philosophy that embraces all 3 components of […]

Speaker:  Chafic Safi, DMD, MS Bioceramics and bioceramic sealers represent a significant advancement in endodontic obturation, offering exceptional biocompatibility, dimensional stability, and antimicrobial properties. This course provides a comprehensive, evidence-based exploration of bioceramic-based root canal obturation, emphasizing the material science, clinical indications, and outcomes associated with their use. Attendees will gain a deep understanding of […]

Speaker:  Chafic Safi, DMD, MS 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 […]

Attendees 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.

This foundational hands-on course is designed for general dentists and early-career clinicians seeking to build confidence and competence in core endodontic techniques. Emphasizing the importance of practice and repetition, this course introduces essential principles of root canal instrumentation and obturation in a structured and supportive learning environment.

Root canal therapy is a mechanical procedure rooted in biologic principles—and consistent, successful outcomes begin with a strong understanding of these fundamentals. This introductory course is designed for general dentists who are either looking to get started with endodontics or seeking to simplify and streamline their current approach within a general practice setting.

Anatomically Centered Endodontics is not about a new instrument or a new material, but rather the combination of scientifically proven techniques and materials in one simple, biologically driven, and inexpensive workflow.

Laser assisted endodontics is becoming more common and accepted in dentistry. Many protocols exist without much consensus. More research studies are being conducted to support and verify protocols. There is good reason to embrace lasers in endodontics due to the claims of biofilm disruption; antibacterial effects deeper into dentin; enhanced debridement of isthmuses, lateral canals, and dentinal tubules; increased effectiveness of irrigating solutions; and more. Compared to syringe irrigation, endosonic and ultrasonic units, laser assisted endodontics through the action of photoacoustics offers a more effective means of debridement and disinfection of the root canal system. In this webinar we will explore laser assisted endodontic concepts and techniques and review current protocols and their rationale for use.
