We are undoubtedly living in a golden era for endodontics. With a plethora of advanced instruments, materials, and equipment designed to enhance clinical workflows and outcomes, the possibilities seem endless. Among these, the emergence of various disinfection devices has sparked significant interest—and controversy.

Clinicians are now faced with a critical question:

Are these high-cost devices truly game-changers in root canal disinfection, or are they overhyped luxuries?
This presentation aims to reexamine our core objectives during root canal disinfection and critically evaluate how modern instrumentation and irrigation devices can elevate the patient experience and clinical outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore practical strategies to improve clinical efficiency
  • Explain the role and effectiveness of various irrigation devices in improving disinfection quality.
  • Analyze the impact of advanced disinfection approaches on clinical patient outcomes
