Following the root canal, learn the necessary adjunctive aids to treat the canal properly and the technique to minimize air bubbles and achieve maximum bond strength.
Learning Objective:

- Advantages of a simple sealer based obturation technique (AKA Single cone), and irrigation methods to facilitate this technique
- Bioceramic sealers, are they here to stay?
- Video demo of how to do a same appointment post preparation in a canal obturated with bioceramic sealer
- Review of a predictable step by step technique for placing a fiber post in the canal for maximum success and retention
- The “bottom up” approach to preparing the post space and delivering the luting material
- Using the right “tools” and materials to achieve a predictable step by step post placement protocol
Benefits Of Attending:
- Learn Fiber Post Systems and the proper technique for etching, bonding, and cementing fibre posts
- Learn the properties of biocermic root canal sealers, and the proper technique for obturating using a single cone
The Speaker: Brian Bevan. Brian has been an endodontic product and continuing education consultant for over thirty years. He has organized many continuing education events and has been involved in introducing several well known endodontic products to the Canadian market.

Additionally, Dr. Bishop dedicates one quarter of his practice to the management of temporomandibular disorders and obstructive sleep apnea.
Dr. Bishop is the author of Transformational Dentistry. Many patients carry substantial emotional trauma related to tooth loss and previous dental treatments. Transformational Dentistry gives patients hope and a road map to achieving a fully functional beautiful smile. This book empowers patients to dream and to become an active participant in their dental treatment.
Most importantly, Dr. Bishop and his beautiful wife are the parents of five children that inspire him to be a better person. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, running, powerlifting, chess and playing the piano.
