Modern Endodontic Instrumentation Today. Seminar by Michael Solomonov. "Comfort" option

Seminar by the renowned endodontist Michael Solomonov, held in Warsaw, is dedicated to contemporary root canal instrumentation and the clinical decision-making behind instrument selection.

The main goal of the course is to clarify the real role of stainless steel and nickel-titanium instruments, as well as the place of new-generation “scrubbing” systems in modern endodontics.

During the seminar, you will study:

– Contemporary principles of root canal instrumentation and clinical instrument selection.
– The role of stainless steel, nickel-titanium, and “scrubbing” instruments in endodontic practice.
– Nickel-titanium systems manufactured from controlled memory wire as the basis for primary canal shaping.
– Key instrument parameters and their impact on safety (taper, cross-sectional design, tip configuration, rake angle).
– Major instrumentation-related risks, including excessive coronal and apical enlargement and complications associated with increased taper.
– Comparison of continuous rotation and reciprocating systems, canal complexity classification, and principles of combining instrumentation systems.

Participants will benefit from direct guidance and mentorship by Dr. Solomonov, one of the most internationally recognized endodontists, with over 30 years of experience in academic dental education.
