LOS ANGELES, U.S.: As the ability to replace teeth with implants becomes more and more efficient and accurate, the importance of endodontics can sometimes be overlooked. Endodontic specialists believe that if one cannot isolate one cannot treat—however Webinar host Dr. John Munce says that nearly any tooth, regardless of circumstance, can be isolated. In a free webinar on Friday, March 16, an expert endodontist will be demonstrating methods to achieve ideal isolation in extreme circumstances.

According to Munce, the heavy marketing and ever-increasing popularity of dental implants challenges the rationale for complex endodontic procedures. The inability to isolate is frequently cited as the reason for extracting teeth that might otherwise be treatable. Using high-magnification clinical videos, the webinar will cover a variety of off-label methods using common dental devices, materials and instruments in unusual ways to isolate teeth under the most challenging of situations.

Webinar host Dr. John Munce is a diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and a Professor of Graduate Endodontics at both Loma Linda University and the University of Southern California in the U.S. He received both his dental degree and his training in endodontics from Loma Linda University. He is a frequent international lecturer and the primary author of the chapter “Preparation for endodontic treatment” in the 50th anniversary seventh edition of Ingle’s Endodontics.

The 1-hour webinar, titled “Overcoming extreme endo-restorative isolation challenges using off-label methods and materials,” will be broadcast live on Friday, March 16, at 4 p.m. EST. Attendance is free of charge after easy registration on the website. Participants will be able to ask questions via a chat window and have the opportunity to earn a continuing education credit by completing a multiple-choice questionnaire on the topic.
