Lecturer Dr Antonis Chaniotis DDS, MDSC

Dr Chaniotis is a graduate of the University of Athens Dental School, Greece (1998). In 2003 he completed the three-year postgraduate program in Endodontics at the University of Athens Dental School.

Since 2003, he has owned a private practice limited to micro- scopic Endodontics in Athens, Greece.

For the last ten years, he has served as a clinical instructor af-filiated with the undergraduate and postgraduate programs at the University of Athens, Athens Dental School, Endodontic Department, Greece.

In 2012 he was awarded the title of Clinical fellow teacher at the University of Warwick, Warwick dentistry UK.

He lectures nationally and internationally and he has published articles in local and international journals.

He serves as an expert lecturer for various websites of on line dental education.

Dr Chaniotis is passionate about video documentation in mi-croscope enhanced Endodontics and believes in the education-al power of video presentations.

He currently serves as an active member of the Hellenic Society of Endodontology (ESE full member society), an active member of the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry (AMED).

Course Topics

Root canal transportation and file separation are the two main procedural mishaps of instrumentation. Failure to tackle these mishaps may result in major treatment challenges and affect the final outcome of the treatment. Although the evolution of rotary NiTi instrumentation moves towards better transporta-tion dynamics, with the advent of rotary instrumentation the issue of file separation became extremely prominent. New manufacturing methods, instrument designs, instrumentation movements and instrumentation protocols were introduced in an attempt to overcome these problems, especially for the highly curved canal system. Although current rotary instrumen-tation technology minimized the undesirable results of trans-portation, the incidence of unexpected rotary file separation still remains an unsolved problem.

Recently, a novel NiTi wire with flexible properties called CM wire (Controlled memory wire) was introduced in the market. CM rotary files have been manufactured using a special ther-momechanical processing that controls the material’s shape memory, making the files extremely flexible and fatigue resist-ant. With 300 % more fatigue resistant CM rotary files with no shape memory characteristics, the incidence of transportation and rotary instrument separation is not only reduced but vir-tually eliminated even for the most challenging cases of canal curvature.

This lecture is designed to thoroughly investigate the impact of the new controlled memory heat treated files in transportation and rotary instrument separation dynamics and to provide clini-cal tips and recommendations for the management of challeng-ing broken file and ledged cases.
