He has been involved in academics since his graduation from USC, and practicing exclusively Endodontics.  His major areas of scientific research interest include the performance of nickel-titanium endodontic rotary instruments, three dimensional obturation of the root canal space; root canal irrigation and restoring endodontically treated teeth.  Dr. Kuttler is a world-renowned endodontist and internationally recognized lecturer, he has presented over 300 national and worldwide courses and lectures in over 35 countries throughout 4 continents. He is the author of numerous scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals, and contributor author in an endodontic text book.  He has served on several editorial boards of journals (JOE, ENDODONTIC TOPICS, ROOTS, Journal Of The Mexican Dental Association). Dr. Kuttler is former Chair of the Endodontic Department and presently Professor Department Of Endodontics and Associate Dean For Advanced Education Programs at Nova Southeastern University, College Of Dental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  He also practices exclusively Endodontics in the Faculty Practice at the University.

 

Title of Presentation: “Simplicity In Endodontics”
An Achievable Goal & “A New Way Of Looking At Filling Techniques”
Seminar:  Sunday, April 10, 2011

  • Course Description:

    The field of endodontics is still experiencing a virtual explosion of new techniques, instruments and materials.  How many of these will stand the test of time is yet to be determined.  Many manufacturers’ claims and existing guidelines for selecting a NiTi file system are:

    • Based on contemporary authors and lecturers
    • Often unsubstantiated
    • Anecdotal based on clinical experience without scientific approach (evidence based)

    The Limitations Of Existing Guidelines are:

    • Do not take recent research into account    
    • Do not discuss goals or predictable methods for obtaining clean canals and 3D obturation of them
    • Emphasize importance of instrument sequence to shape root canals radiographically for obturation
    • Based on philosophies limited by constraints of previous canal preparation instruments / techniques

    Objectives:

    After this lecture course, the participants will be able to:

    • Understand the ability of a single file system over multiple files systems in preparing canals without procedural errors
    • Understand the objectives of canal instrumentation and how to achieve these objectives with one single NiTi file system based on research
    • Know the advantages of one single file NiTi system over other ones
    • Know the advantages of core-obturation materials for 3D obturation of the prepared canal space based on the “best evidence possible”
    • Understand that science needs to direct education if endodontics is to be taken seriously
