But with an expanding range of products available, understanding when and how to use them is essential for achieving optimal patient outcomes.
This one-hour webinar will provide a practical, evidence-based overview of bioceramic materials used in everyday endodontic practice. Participants will explore the clinical applications of bioceramic root canal sealers, root repair materials, and bioceramic temporary intracanal dressings, with a focus on material selection, handling characteristics, and treatment protocols. Through clinical examples and practical tips, attendees will gain the confidence to integrate these materials effectively into their daily practice and improve the predictability of endodontic treatment.
