Summary of the presentation
Progress, in Endodontics as in most other subjects, is achieved by leaps that boost us to new levels of quality and excellence.
Technological novelties allow us to perform better quality treatments, faster and safer.
Many innovations and paradigm shifts in treatment rest on scientific grounds, and are the response to matters raised by investigation.
Others are the answer to problems identified during clinical practice.
During this lecture we’ll see and discuss some instruments that have recently seen the light, for different treatment phases, as well as some research performed in our School.
Always bearing in mind that research and technology exist mainly to improve the overall quality of treatment we are able to offer to our patients.
