Abstract

Ultrasonics is transforming the landscape of modern endodontics, redefining what is possible in challenging clinical scenarios. In synergy with high-magnification visualization, ultrasonic tips empower clinicians to work with exceptional precision and a truly conservative philosophy preserving tooth structure while overcoming obstacles that once hindered successful outcomes. From navigating calcified canals to tackling complex retreatments with removal of cast posts, screw posts, fractured instruments and fiber posts, ultrasonics opens doors to solutions beyond the reach of conventional techniques. 

This presentation will explore practical, evidence-based clinical strategies for integrating ultrasonics into daily endodontic practice, demonstrating how this technology can expand the therapeutic possibilities and elevate clinical results.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the principles of ultrasonic technology and its role in enhancing precision and conservation of tooth structure in endodontics. 
• Identify the clinical scenarios where ultrasonics provides advantages over conventional techniques, including management of calcifications, retreatments, and post removal. 
• Demonstrate the integration of ultrasonics with high-magnification visualization to improve access, cleaning, and obstacle removal. 
• Evaluate the evidence supporting ultrasonic use in complex endodontic cases and its impact on treatment outcomes. 
• Design an evidence-based clinical workflow incorporating ultrasonics to address challenging anatomical and restorative barriers.
