Advancements in endodontic technology continue to reshape clinical workflows, improve patient outcomes, and reduce chair time. One such innovation is the Root ZX3, a third-generation apex locator that integrates seamlessly with the HFM (High-Frequency Module). This combination allows clinicians to not only accurately determine working length, but also disinfect the canal with precision and safety. This continuing education webinar is designed to provide dental professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the scientific principles, clinical benefits, and practical applications of the Root ZX3 + HFM. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of how the technology works, when and how to use it in clinical settings, and how it can be implemented into everyday endodontic practice. Through case-based discussion, workflow demonstrations, and review of current best practices, attendees will leave with the knowledge and confidence to incorporate this system into a wide range of endodontic scenarios.

Health inequities persist for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities experience poorer oral health and challenges accessing dental care.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.
