Access Refinement & Working Length Special Guest Presentation by Dr. Arnaldo Castellucci
If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Ruddle & Lisette reveal their power choices in the show’s Opener. Then, Dr. Arnaldo Castellucci gives a presentation on access refinement using some innovative ultrasonic tips, before moving on to working length and a lesson on apex locators. After, Ruddle and Lisette share insights in a post-presentation discussion. Then, to close the show, Ruddle is at the Board presenting a case report on fiber post removal and reminding us of a cost-effective & efficient technique.
