Synopsis
This intensive course cuts through the noise to focus on the fundamental clinical truths of endodontics. The panoply of endodontic workflow from diagnostic perplexities to addressing the difficulty in anesthetizing "hot teeth" to ultrasonic recovery of the root canal system to optimizing debridement and disinfection protocols and bio-active root filling techniques will be addressed.
The introduction of AI technology to endodontic motors that incorporate real-time apex location and torque correction essentially negating file separation and the next level redesign of endodontic files through laser heat treatment and smaller blank sizes has facilitated unprecedented levels of predictable treatment outcomes. The critical role that the coronal seal mandates in long-term success will be discussed.
It is understanding the technologic tenets of endodontic protocols, an appreciation of the application of the tools that engender optimal shape and minimally invasive techniques, and the concept of a truly closed system that lead to predictable rehabilitation of the endodontically treated tooth. Rather than chasing the latest trends, this course focuses on predictable rehabilitation. You will leave with a clear roadmap of the ecosystem needed to handle complex morphologies with confidence, utilizing the latest in AI and material science to ensure your endodontic outcomes are as durable as they are precise.
Learning Objectives
Predictable Anesthesia: Protocols for "hot teeth" and intraosseous techniques.
Ultrasonic Access: Refined orifice location and dentin preservation.
Creating Clean Canals: Irrigant sequencing and passive ultrasonic activation for debridement and disinfection
Kinematic Mastery: Rotation vs. Reciprocation considerations based on taper and morphology
Bioactive Sealing: Hydraulic and Warm Vertical Condensation using bioactive bioceramic sealers
The Coronal Seal: Immediate orifice sealing and choosing the right functional restoration to prevent fractures.

Dr. Ken Sorota
Ken Serota, DDS, MMSc, graduated from the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry
in 1973 and received his Certificate in Endodontics and Master of Medical Sciences in
Nuclear Medicine degree from the Harvard-Forsyth Dental Center in Boston,
Massachusetts. He was awarded the George W. Switzer Memorial Award for
excellence in prosthodontics in 1973. In 1981, he was awarded the American
Association of Endodontics Memorial Award in Research. In 1987 he received the
Ontario Dental Association Award of Merit for his contributions to continuing
education. In 2000, he founded ROOTS, the first online Endodontic forum and
coordinated the first of ten ROOTS Summits. In 2004, in concert with Oemus Media, he
founded the ROOTS Journal. In 2015 he founded NEXUS, to integrate all the dental
disciplines. Contributing editor to Endodontic Practice, he has published over 70
articles and has lectured internationally on endodontics and implants.
April Doucette, CDA Level II
April Doucette is a Level II Dental Assistant with over 20 years of experience. A
graduate of George Brown College, she began her career in endodontics with Dr. Gary
Glassman, where she developed a strong passion for the specialty. She has since
contributed to hands-on training courses across the GTA and Ontario, including major
events such as the PDC and ODA, supporting advanced techniques involving
microscopes and surgical procedures.Now based in the Niagara region, April is
committed to continuous learning, helping others, and delivering excellence in both
clinical care and business through her role as Integration Specialist at Oral Science.
