WaveOne Gold Reciprocation System

by Leave a Comment

I’m happy to announce publication of my new book ‘WaveOne Gold: Ride the Wave to Shaping Excellence.’ Details below.

Can shaping be easy? Can you shape the canals efficiently? Can you shape safely and effectively without separating or ledging the apical third of the canal?

This book will answer all of your shaping questions about the WaveOne Gold reciprocation system.

LEARN THE ROOT CANAL PLAYBOOK

LEARN HOW TO CREATE AN OPEN GLIDE PATH WITH THE WAVEONE GOLD GLIDER

LEARN HOW TO SHAPE WITH THE WAVEONE GOLD FILE

LEARN THE SHAPING PRINCIPLES OF THE WAVEONE GOLD RECIPROCATION SYSTEM

LEARN WHAT TO DO WHEN THE PRIMARY WILL NOT ADVANCE TO WL

LEARN HOW TO SHAPE ANY CANAL FROM SMALL TO BIG

WaveOne Gold is a unique file system that shapes the entire canal system with one file. WaveOne Gold does not rotate, but instead reciprocates in an unequal bidirectional movement of 150° counterclockwise and 30° clockwise. It takes 3 reciprocations to create a full revolution. This unique reciprocation movement allows the file to easily and safely surf right on down the canal and effortless cut and carve the canal walls without wiping out. Come along with me on a surf safari into shaping and surfing down the canal effortlessly. And yes you will become a better shaper and surfer.

Removing Calcium Hydroxide

by 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:

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,

Patient Communications: Walking My Talk

by 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
