If you are interested in filling root canal systems in a controlled, fast and three-dimensional manner, then this show is for you. In this episode, you will see a new, "carrier-less" obturation method featuring GuttaCore. In well shaped canals, this filling method is easy to learn, is completely three-dimensional, and can fill a root canal system in less than five seconds. Importantly and upon completion, there will not be a traditional plastic carrier left behind. Rather, you will have wall-to-wall gutta percha with cross-linkage between the inner gutta percha core and the outer alpha gutta percha layer. This is a game-changing obturation method!

in another segment at a different time I had the opportunity to describe the warm vertical condensation in the 3d operation chapter today my emphasis will be a little bit different but still focused on three-dimensional operation what I'd like to talk about specifically today is carrier-based obturation a couple words would be appropriately said before I commence with this segment I understand perfectly that internationally there has historically been a lot of resentment and conflict and in some instances outrage over any dentist who would use a carrier-based obturation technique and of course it's typically been the scenario where it is us against you or that means an in the dentist viewpoint versus a general dentist viewpoint I'm happy to say that over a lot of years law this resentment has melted away as people have opened up their minds and hearts to actually looking at the histology behind carrier-based obturation I would like to acknowledge my friend Ben Johnson the father of this technique and it all started in about 1988 and during those early years the carriers were metal files and the gutta-percha on those files could be heated in an oven and the instrument mean the file in the gutta-percha could be slid through the prepared canal and to length if you think back in 88 the shapes weren't nearly as fulfilled as they've become today there has been significantly more emphasis today on disinfection protocols so it is no wonder that some colleagues abused the technique much like the silver point technique where they would use carriers in underprepared canals and as carriers were slid through underprepared canals there was the squeegee effect which means in some instances got aperture could be wiped off the wall the carrier and the carrier could arrive nude at length so of course this led to failures or certainly contributed to failures and of course me these failures were referred to in the dontist whose assignment was to remove these carriers in the retreatment situation and of course many endodontists resented this and begin to feel quite animated in terms of their behavior towards carrier-based obturation and there's been a lot of names attached to carrier based operation one that i actually used myself to tell one on cliff is i used to call it a hot dog in a bun well this did not make a lot of friends down in Tulsa Oklahoma so it was just ignorance on cliff Ronald's part my part and I had to go to school and over time I am convinced I am so convinced that this is an excellent controlled and completely three-dimensional technique I have been so commenced that I have been teaching this for several years now and of course I wasn't the first to start using it I came along way late in the game and so you could say that there are others out there that would certainly perhaps have more expertise as teachers teaching this technique as compared to me but I have incorporated into my hands-on seminars in Santa Barbara for many years and in fact when I was the past department chairman of endodontics at the Scottsdale Center for dentistry we used to teach this technique there as well and in fact we actually invited through Tulsa's sponsorship the department Chairman's of undergraduate and postgraduate endodontics to come to the Scottsdale center for dentistry and have a two-day forum or symposium led by Steve Nemzek dr. Nemzek led that group of colleagues and academics and accommodations I should say and it was interesting after that symposium ended perhaps as many as six or seven dental schools converted all their undergraduate students to fill root canal systems using carrier based operation so the resentments are ebbing the science is there decisions have to be made and I would say to you if I were a younger dentist today and I was thinking about how would I best fill
