Greetings Clinicians,

Dentistry Today featured my article The Ultimate Root Canal Playbook: Part 1. Please take a look as it offers a good summary of the Four Quarters of the Root Canal Game, which is the basis for RootCanalAcademy.com Resident Membership with over 100 technique videos and many other ways to learn. In the Playbook, I’ve organized the often-confusing root canal procedures into an easy-to-access and fun system. I want you to make every move with confidence.

Root Canal Academy has a Free Library where you can see more! Sign up here. Also, we are proud of our endodontic publications as additional ways to learn. Please see our core RCT and RETX textbooks plus our new and growing Learning Lessons quick reference guides. We offer many ways to learn to meet you where you are, with what we know you’ll need.

Let’s add new dimensions to your practice! I’m here to help you learn.

Why I Prefer Warm Vertical Obturation Over Single Cone

by Leave a Comment

Reid wrote an article for Dentaltown about how he prefers warm vertical obturation over single cone, which reduces postoperative problems and makes Reid and his patients happy.

In the first installment of a two-part series, a Townie endodontist explains why he prefers warm vertical obturation over single-cone techniques.

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,

Using Calcium Hydroxide

by Leave a Comment

Greetings Clinicians,

Though it appears to be a simple, calcium hydroxide application can be tricky.  In my Learning Lessons Case #4, I provide perspective on some of your common CA(OH)2 questions:

  • What type of calcium hydroxide should I use? Why?
  • How should I best apply calcium hydroxide?
  • What do I say to a patient?
  • What should I avoid?

Click on the image below for a seven-page lesson on using calcium hydroxide.
