Prevention of Instrument Breakage by Creating a Mechanical Reproducible Glide Path

Dr. Yosef Nahmias, DDS,MSc  was born and raised in Mexico City. After he graduated from the Universidad Tecnologica de Mexico, School of Dentistry, in 1980, he decided to advance his education and chose Endodontics as his specialty. Dr. Nahmias earned his Master’s of Science degree in Endodontics in 1983 at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry has involved him in teaching their postgraduate level students in endodontics. Dr Nahmias has authored many articles and continues to lecture in Canada and internationally. He has been a practicing Endodontist in Toronto, Ontario since 1983.

COURSE OUTLINE

Instrument breakage remains one of the most frustrating and tragic events that we have to face in our daily practices.

This lecture will describe a technique that involves the use of mechanical instruments to create a reproducible Glide Path that will prevent the separation of instruments in the root canal system even in the most challenging of cases.

Discussion will include the use of reciprocating NiTi instruments to shape the root canal spaces. The use of CBCT technology as a diagnostic tool will be discussed as well.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this lecture, the participants will be able to:

• Define what a Reproducible Glide Path is

• Explain the use of mechanical instruments to create a Glide Path

• Learn how to prevent instrument breakage

• Understand the use of Reciprocating instruments to shape the root canal system

• Learn how to use CBCT technology to diagnose and treat complex endodontic cases

• Incorporate these strategies in their day to day practice

A hands-on component will show and describe at length the implementation of the strategies discussed during the didactic portion of this course.  Please bring extracted teeth with endo access completed with you.
