Treating a tooth because decay or trauma has affected the endodontic system isn't a disaster, and above all, it's not the preserve of super-specialists with unparalleled equipment and expertise. Repairing damage caused by a previous dentist who wasn't careful enough and made a mess isn't impossible. Above all, a tooth severely compromised by decay, previous improper procedures, or trauma isn't unreliable and carries a very dubious prognosis.

The purpose of this day is:

1) Manage an endodontic emergency effectively, even within the tight timeframe of a busy schedule. Pulpitis, endodontic abscess, and post-traumatic pulp exposure must be addressed IMMEDIATELY.

2) to illustrate how the root canal preparation technique is simple, predictable, and certainly within the reach of all colleagues willing to dedicate a little (but really very little) effort to it.

3) to highlight how root canal filling, especially with the advent of bioceramic cements, is simple and predictable.

4) to rationalize the management systems of complex cases, especially in the presence of incidents such as perforations or complex anatomical variants (very large apices).

My endodontic philosophy therefore aims to combine common sense with root canal preparation and filling techniques, using fewer instruments, reducing steps—almost exclusively with mechanical instruments—conserving tooth tissue, and immediately performing crown restorations; ultimately simplifying and speeding up all procedures.
