Lecture/Hands-On Course
Endodontics is Really a “Slam Dunk”
Ronald H. Lebby, D.D.S.
OVERVIEW
This course is designed to bring you an informative and fun filled day of endodontics. There will be no magic, no removal of separated instruments and no blasting through calcified canals–well almost none. We want your fee income to go up…not down! Dr. Lebby will bring to you the practitioner, the principles necessary to perform predictable and effective single visit endodontic therapy.
You will learn endodontics from beginning to end by seeing step-by-step procedures, illustrations and case presentations that encompass all current endodontic concepts, both conventional and high tech. You will learn how to incorporate these techniques profitably and efficiently into your practice.
There will be a microscope demonstration, and you will participate in a hands-on, which will afford you a seamless transition between shaping and cleansing the root canal system and predictable carrier based obturation.

OBJECTIVES
This course will enable the dentist to understand:
• An intelligent diagnosis and thereby determine which tooth requires Endodontic intervention.
• Perform a painless Endodontic procedure, and be able to profoundly anesthetize the
offending tooth/teeth.
• To isolate any tooth utilizing innovative and unique rubber dam techniques i.e. the “reverse double clamp technique.”
• Be able to easily gain coronal and radicular direct straight line access, and be able to quickly and accurately determine the exact working length in a matter of seconds without the use of
radiographs.
• To optimally cleanse and shape the root canal system by utilizing rotary instruments, enabling you to place a thermoplastic seal quickly and efficiently.
