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.

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

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:

Using Calcium Hydroxide

March 4, 2019 by reid pullen 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?
