New Course! 4 Quarters of the Simple RTX Game

September 7, 2020 by reid pullen Leave a Comment

Greetings Clinicians,

I’m proud to present a major new content area on our RootCanalAcademy.com website: The ‘4 Quarters of the Simple ReTx Game.’ Let me introduce the course:

We provide and will continuously update video and other content as RTX tools and techniques evolve. Oh, and we have a ReTx book in production too, as part of our Learning Lessons series. That will be on our Publications page. I’m excited about how this new RTX course can help you serve existing patients better, and add a revenue source with simple ReTx.

ReTx Video — Preview of ‘4 Quarters of the Simple ReTx Game’

This 6:30 minute video — part of a 35:00 minute full procedure — walks us through the retreatment process using a standard periapical radiograph. I annotate the image showing which areas of the canal are targeted with each step and tool of the retreatment–watch and learn the basics of the retreatment technique.


Stay tuned to our website for more additional material for the retreatment course. We are here to make you BETTER TOMORROW with 4 Quarters of the Simple ReTx Game!

Comments From a New Resident Member, Summer 2020

“Hey Reid, I just wanted to reach out and say how absolutely amazing root canal academy is. In 2013 my wife J. K. came out to your office for endo PIPs training and I came out the following year. Ever since then I had been doing endo here and there but only simple cases. I had pretty much been doing everything I had learned in your course. Well now that one of our local endodontists was forced to retire I have been doing a ton of endo and with the investment of wave one I have become obsessed with endo. Thank you so much for putting together root canal academy it has made me excited to go back to work! Are you still using the laser? I notice you don’t talk about it too much in the videos. Thanks again and I can’t wait to see what else you have to share.”
–S.N., DDS

Reid Pullen’s 30 Second Exam

December 27, 2018 by reid pullen Leave a Comment

Clinicians,
Pop quiz: What physical indicators do you use to help efficiently diagnose a patient?

At RootCanalAcademy.com we have seven tests that we conduct in a 30 second exam:
1. Visual
2. Percussion
3. Mobility
4. Probing
5. Palpation
6. Bite stick
7. Cold

Explaining each test while in progress, and the patient’s own corresponding sensation, will help them understand the need for treatment and is a good precursor to your diagnostic explanation. Conducting your test efficiently and authoritatively instills confidence.

Best,
Reid

Difficult Patient Circumstances?

December 20, 2018 by reid pullen Leave a Comment

Everyday, all day, we deal with patients. Some are easy, some are grumpy and some just are downright difficult. In our patient communication series we continue discussing how to effectively talk to the patient.

In these videos I discuss:

What do you say to a patient who has an apical lesion but doesn’t have any pain and does not want treatment? Try this little trick and see what happens.

 

What do you say to a patient regarding the success rate of endodontic treatment? Clear communication can alleviate later problems if the endodontic treatment fails.

4 Quarters of the Root Canal Game Summary Graphic

November 27, 2018 by reid pullen Leave a Comment

 

Greetings Clinicians,
Here is a nice new graphic summarizing Root Canal Academy teaching. It puts on one page in a digestible format the complicated root canal process. My ‘4 Quarters’ teaching aims to organize the many sub procedures into a ‘football game’ format. Simple! Four quarters of procedures along with ‘pre game, halftime, and post game’ activities. I’ve found that this common format makes learning not only easier, but fun.  Participation is great; winning is fun!

The 4 Quarters graphic can serve as a refresher for our Resident Library members–who get our entire game plan!–as well as an orientation for Free Library members and those considering joining our Free Library (BTW it’s FREE!).

Enjoy,
Reid
