The Art of Endodontics ULTRA
Learn simple techniques for complex endodontic procedures during an intensive hands-on course taught by Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan.
We are excited to launch our NEW hands-on course format. This course covers everything offered in our previous 2-day Art of Endodontics course, PLUS what was covered during our 1-day Molars Only course. See below for more information on schedule, learning objectives, and what comes in your pre-course kit.

Remote Hands-On Training: Access
Complete this 8-hour pre-course anytime between when you receive your RHOT Access Kit (approximately 5 weeks prior to your course date) & Day 1 of lecture. You’ll practice cutting the perfect Access Cavity in the provided 3D-Pritned TrueTooth Training Replicas using the burs, files, and explorers provided. You’ll need to do this from your operatory as you’ll need access to a high-speed handpiece and suction (as well as WiFi to follow along to the videos in our Remote Hands-On Training: Access online course).
Your kit will include:
- 18 TrueTooth™ 3D-Printed Training Replicas – transparent and opaque models
- DELabs™ DG-16 Endo Explorer
- DELabs™ DG-16 Endo Explorer with Bent Ends
- LA Axxess™ 2.0 Bur Clip
- Traverse™ Orifice Wideners – 4-pack
- Precision Irrigator – 3.5” length
- ¾” Bendable Tips – 16 Ga. 100-pack
- Login information for our Access online course
This material will cover:
- The convenient and conservative outline forms for anterior, premolar, and molar access cavities
- The burs and tools that will empower dentists in cutting predictable entry paths to root canal systems
- The occlusal and axial landmarks that clinicians can depend on as north starts as they navigate toward pulp chambers
- The decision trees that minimize time and danger when faced with calcified root canal systems
Day 1 (Thursday):
In-person at the DELabs training facility in Santa Barbara, CA 8-5pm with a reception afterward. Students can expect a mixture of demonstration, lecture, and hands-on practice. Topics we will focus on include:
- Access—a quick review from your pre-course material – how to create the ideal minimally invasive access form and eliminate cervically positioned curvature
- Negotiation—techniques to obtain patency and negotiate difficult canals with impediments
- Shaping—file selection methods, crown–down shaping strategies, and apical gauging techniques
- Cleaning—the importance of lubricants, irrigants, and chelating agents for negotiation, cleaning efficacy, and smear layer removal
- Obturation—the Continuous Wave of Condensation technique and carrier–based obturation
Day 2 (Friday):
In-person at the DELabs training facility in Santa Barbara, CA, 8-5pm. Open lab, hands-on practice, demonstration, and lecture can all be expected. Day 2 topics include:
- Diagnosis and pain management
- Solutions for addressing common RCT challenges and failures
- How to treat calcified molars without the aid of dynamic guidance
- Techniques to find and treat elusive MB canals and how to work around impediments
- Methods to become more proficient in molar obturation
- Expanded mastery of increasingly difficult endodontic challenges using TrueTooth™ anatomically precise teeth
- Full immersion into the treatment of complex molar anatomy
