The practice of endodontics is advancing at a high pace. Several new approaches in endodontic treatment planning, navigation and disinfection have recently been advocated. This presentation will outline the scientific evidence supporting these technologies and some of the challenges of incorporating these approaches in contemporary advanced Endodontics curricula.

Learning Objectives:

Identify some of the newer concepts and technologies that are important to incorporate in contemporary advanced Endodontics curricula
Outline available evidence supporting changes to incorporate these technologies and specific questions that are important to address in selecting new technologies in future
Determine how an evidence-based approach could be utilized to comply with current standards and incorporate new paradigms
