Course Description:
Selecting the most appropriate endodontic sealers should follow evidence-based guidelines. Using Grossman’s ideal sealer profile as a standard, current commercial endodontic sealers will be categorized by composition and properties. Each sealer will be evaluated for its antimicrobial activity, micro-filling/sealing characteristics, and biocompatibility. This course will also discuss research and developing newer endodontic sealers for effective treatment to fill in some of the gaps in the knowledge.
Educational Objectives:
By the completion of this course, each participant should be able to . . .
-
Describe the importance of the dentin-sealer interface in sealing ability.
-
Utilize categories of endodontic sealers by composition and properties for best use in clinical cases.
-
Implement evidence-based endodontic treatment and materials into practice.
