Details

Description:

This free symposium sponsored by Pure Dental Learning is going to highlight multiple presentations by residents explaining the primary clinical endodontic technique taught in each residency. A resident is chosen to represent each endodontic program and will highlight the following questions:

  1. What is the primary goal of endodontic treatment?
  2. What is the specific instrumentation/cleaning and shaping technique taught in your program? (give details)
  3. What is the specific obturation technique taught in your program? (give details)

It is presumed that there are enough differences in philosophy and technique being taught in different programs that these 3 specific questions will create a very interesting discussion during the Q and A period at the end of the presentations. The program directors, students and webinar participants will be a part of the interactive post-presentation discussion. Socratic respectful debate is encouraged.
