Course Outline

 From a clinical perspective, this seminar analyzes in detail the goals and challenges of root canal biomechanical                 preparation, and by reviewing the design features and development of nickel-titanium rotary instruments, guides               clinicians to better choose and perform root canal treatment. This 1.5 hour introduce the frontier progress and research     hotspots in related fields, laying a solid foundation for further improving the quality of root canal biomechanical               debridement.
