ENDO MARATHON with Michael Solomonov
ENDO MARATHON with Michael Solomonov
Course overview
ENDO MARATHON with Michael Solomonov! The most current and evidence based information on root canal treatment.
This intensive training will cover the following topics:
the latest upgrade in irrigation protocol: how HEDP (etidronic acid) changes the conventional workflow;
CBCT and the rules of the endodontic game (how CBCT analysis influence our decision-making)
everything about postoperative and non-odontogenic pain in endodontics
biological clock in endodontics (how quickly and effectively an endodontist can work, what follow up periods will give us a true assessment of our results).
We promise you that this seminar will have you falling even more in love with your profession!

Lesson 10. Concept of Pain in Endodontics
Flare-ups and postoperative pain in endodontics: definitions and probability of occurrence
Causes of pain: what factors before treatment could serve as warning signs for potential pain causes?
Apical extrusion of debris: evidence based facts vs myths. Which technical procedures need to be modified in practice?

Critical analysis of different types of instrumentation technique of the apical third of the canal: Apical Seat vs. Stop. The fate of apical patency is in your hands.
Lesson 13. Medication for pain management
Pain relief strategy based on etiology:
Infection related inflammatory process
Non-infection related inflammatory process

Lesson 14. Prevention of postoperative pain and non-odontogenic pain
Persistent pain after endodontic treatment:
How to predict treatment outcomes
How to avoid mistakes
Choosing the most appropriate clinical treatment strategies.
Premedication
Odontogenic causes of persistent pain

Lesson 15. Biological clock in endodontics
How quick and efficiently can we work and how do new technologies can or try to change the established time frame?
If a procedure fails, should the dentist stop or keep on trying and how do the internal biological clocks help or hinder us?
This lectures are presented as the junction of profound knowledge and philosophy, strict analytics and Dr. Solomonov’s personal experience. Hundreds of graduated students, thousands of answered questions… you will think and this is very important.
Lesson 16. Time is money
