Removing Calcium Hydroxide

May 17, 2019 by reid pullen Leave a Comment

Greetings Clinicians,
Our last post was a primer ‘Using Calcium Hydroxide,’ as part of our preview of the forthcoming publication of Learning Lessons. In this post, we present Case #5 ‘Removing Calcium Hydroxide.’ I get these questions about removing Ca(OH)2.

  • Why do I need to use Calcium Hydroxide? Why not just
    leave the canal dry?
  • What if some Ca(OH)2 is left on the canal walls and you obturate?
  • Can Ca(OH)2 block you out on the 2nd visit?

Here are answers and procedure tips in my Learning Lessons Case #5:

Learning Lessons Book 1, Case #5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is another sneak peak at a forthcoming series of Learning Lessons books to be available soon through RootCanalAcademy.com. See other lesson samples in this blog.

Happy endo my friends,

Reid

Patient Communications: Walking My Talk

January 15, 2019 by reid pullen Leave a Comment

Greetings Clinicians,

In several recent posts on Patient Management and Patient Communications (see tags), I’ve talked about approaches and specific techniques to communicate both common as well as more difficult treatment circumstances. In the two videos below, I demonstrate how to communicate with a patient basic information. These videos include:

  • Talking with the patient before treatment procedure
  • Explaining each step during treatment.

You will see the purposeful and direct communication, which can be modified with additional information based upon your specific patient circumstances.

Be purposeful. Be direct.

Happy Endo my Friends,

Reid

What is Zen Endo?

January 10, 2019 by reid pullen Leave a Comment

Greetings Clinicians,

Zen Endo is an important part of Root Canal Academy’s E3 Endodontics (Efficient, Effective, Excellent).

‘Calm and effective’ is a state I want students and practitioners to maintain–even in the most difficult circumstances and events of endodontic practice. I call this state of being calm and effective Zen Endo.

Zen Endo is good patient management and here are some simple steps explained in the accompanying video:

  1. Be clear
  2. Explain proposed procedures; make sure that procedures, outcomes, and risks are understood
  3. Ask the patient if they have any questions

Understanding how to structure your communications will bring good treatment outcomes. Happy patients pay, return, and refer. In turn, you’ll be happy too!

Wishing you Zen Endo,

Reid
