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.
Why I Prefer Warm Vertical Obturation Over Single Cone
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:
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
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?

Difficult Patient Circumstances?
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.
