Discuss:

Patient symptoms and history.  Relate the endo diagnosis, discuss complicating symptoms, perio conditions w/ probing depths, and prognosis.

Discuss any complicating factors, your comfort level with this technique, disappointments with this technique, and praises as appropriate.

Relate the information learned and presented during the seminar as it relates to your clinical experience with these files and obturation technique and materials.

If you are using a system other than the Endosequence technique as described and taught you must treat at least one tooth(single or multirooted) with the endosequence technique.  Contact your Brasseler rep. for the necessary supplies and I'm sure it would be provided to try this in your office if you haven't purchased the system already.  Compare and contrast your results vs. that of the Endosequence in terms of efficiency, predictability, ease of use, confidence of file and filing, results and prognosis.
