Bonus-Content Preview: Six Case Narrations for WaveOne Gold Book Buyers

by Leave a Comment

WaveOne Gold reciprocating is one of easiest and efficient ways to shape a canal system. With my new book, I’m sharing techniques and tips for using this versatile file system in context of the RCT Playbook. I believe that when I can walk you step-by-step through a procedure you will get a valuable perspective on treatment–that’s why our RCT and RETX Resident memberships are so popular!

So in my new Learning Lessons books I’m including free bonus-content case narrations, easily accessed with QR codes, exclusively for book buyers. In the just-published book WaveOne Gold: Ride the Wave to Shaping Excellence, I narrate six (!) cases totaling over 3.5 hours. What a deal! What a learning opportunity for $167. You can find this excellent book-video ‘combo’ learning experience now on our Publications page.

Here is a 8:45 sample of the over three and one-half hours of case narrations. Let me know what you think! ReidPullen@RootCanalAcademy.com.

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.

Difficult Patient Circumstances?

by 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.
