Transformative technology has elevated the standard of clean in endodontics. Unsurpassed cleaning of complex internal spaces utilizing minimal instrumentation is accomplished through a proprietary technology that leverages optimum cleaning via broad-spectrum acoustic energy and a powerful vortex of disinfecting solutions, while providing improved patient outcomes. With the vast majority of treatments efficiently performed in one-visit, and patients universally reporting minimal-to-no discomfort post treatment, this breakthrough technology is here to stay. Factors influencing the skeptic-to-believer evolution process in the adoption of new technology into a practice will be shared.

Learning Objectives:

Discover how one practice incorporated some transformative technology to enable successful cleaning and disinfection of complex anatomies with minimal root canal preparations
Identify factors that enable a smooth transition into advanced and transformative technology
Assess the rationale for embracing today's advancements into everyday practice
