There is nothing more frustrating than starting an endodontic treatment procedure that takes long time to finish and even yet without satisfactory results clinically or radio graphically. This problem occurs to many dentists because of two main reasons: absence of a defined strategy of approach to negotiate and manage the root canal system and the ignorance of the new endodontic armamentarium that have significantly improved the way endodontics is performed.
In this presentation I will shed the light on some of the practical points that would add a different flavor into non-surgical endodontic treatment to maximize its efficiency and predictability by emphasizing basic biologic concepts and utilizing the state of the art new endodontic armamentarium

• Clearly understand the guidelines for proper case selection
• Recognize common mistakes that are performed during access preparation and learn a strategic approach to perform sound access opening biologically and efficient mechanically.
• Learn the advantages of using some of the new armamentarium in the field including the rotary nickel titanium files and shed the light on the innovative designs and concepts of the Revo-S system
• know the necessity of using magnification devices and Electronic apex locators in endodontics and be able to learn some clinical tips to maximize their efficiency and clinical predictability
