## [Ensuring Endodontic Success: The Right Irrigants at the Right Time](https://blog.ultradent.com/endodontics-the-right-irrigants-at-the-right-time?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | April 01, 2019

 There remains a growing belief among clinicians that obturation is to blame for endodontic failures. This notion has more recently fallen under scrutiny as researchers have discovered that the most thorough obturation can only reflect the quality of the cleaning and shaping of the canal. In fact, a number of researchers point to the thorough use of irrigants—making sure that the debris, and irrigant itself is lifted completely out of the canal, not forced out the apex—as the most important determinant in the long-term success of an endodontic procedure. The right irrigants, when used properly, eliminate harmful microorganisms and bacteria in the root and tubules, and prevent recontamination, even long after the RCT (root canal therapy) is complete. The recently acknowledged vital role of irrigants stands to reason, as RCT itself was born out of the necessity to treat the infected, and very often painful, dentinal tubules and roots that traditional restorative dentistry couldn't address.

 Performing endodontic procedures can be tricky and technique-sensitive—so much so that many clinicians end up referring the work out to a specialist, losing valuable business. Ultradent can help! Here are some guidelines to help you get the most out of your money while performing endodontic procedures in the safest way possible.

## [NaviTip Tips: Accurate Delivery in the Age of Irrigation](https://blog.ultradent.com/navitip-accurate-delivery-in-the-age-of-irrigation?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | April 01, 2019

 During a root canal procedure, it's imperative that clinicians debride and cleanse canals thoroughly with endodontic irrigants—even where instruments can't reach. However, this can prove tricky, as irrigants must reach where they are needed without expressing beyond the apex of the canal. Dr. Dan Fischer says, "The basic concept of irrigation in endodontics is to get the smallest cannula down close to the apex, but shy of the foramen, and to irrigate from the bottom up. It is imperative to start from the bottom to prohibit trapping air in the canal, because it is very difficult to displace an air bubble when you're filling the canal from the top down. However, the deeper the canal, the more difficult it is to get the cannula down to the apical region of the tooth." In addition to the difficulties caused by deep canals, root canals often have curves with sharp turns that make navigating the cannula to the apical region difficult. That's where Ultradent's NaviTip™ tips really stand out against the other endodontic tips on the market, thanks to Ultradent's exclusive flex tip technology.

 Your patients are seeing it all over social media, television, and beauty blogs, so no wonder they're demanding whitening treatments that use some kind of light or laser! So, how do you educate them on the reality behind tooth whitening and the effectiveness products that use lights vs. those that do not? Ultradent to the rescue! We sat down with Ultradent's technical manager over whitening, Peter Allred, to discuss how you can talk to and educate your patients about the pros, cons, and gimmicks when it comes to light/laser used in some whitening systems.

 With a saturated market, competitive marketing campaigns, and the power of social media, dentists are finding it more challenging than ever to attract and retain loyal patients. Many find the prospect of launching full-fledge social media campaigns and spending their hard-earned dollars on advertising daunting. What many of these offices don't know is that the real secret to earning customer isn't in producing the best social media posts or a great billboard. It's all about customer service, and great customer service creates a great (and free!) word of mouth campaign that will bring far more customers through your door than you thought possible.

## [If It Wasn't Documented, It Wasn't Done—Dental Practice Management Tips](https://blog.ultradent.com/dental-practice-management-if-it-wasnt-documented-it-wasnt-done?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | February 22, 2019

 Perhaps you've heard the adage, "If it wasn't documented, it wasn't done." It's a sage piece of advice given by practice management gurus like Dr. Leslie Pasco and renowned dental practice management consultant, Barry Levin. But what exactly does documentation encompass? What should be documented? Is documentation primarily to protect yourself from lawsuits? The answers might surprise you. First of all, although great documentation and good notes can indeed serve as the first line of protection against litigation for doctors, nurses, hygienists, and dentists, they serve a much wider purpose than that, and if they're not done correctly, consistently, and professionally, poor notes and documentation can even prove detrimental to a practice.

 Ultradent has a legacy of superb training and continuing education that has been a part of the company's mission from the very beginning. In fact, because of his passion for training and education, Dr. Fischer, Ultradent's founder and CEO, would travel to trade shows and dental exhibits all over the world demonstrating and teaching. Sometimes he would even draw blood from his own arm to show the scrubbing and burnishing technique required to achieve profound hemostasis with his revolutionary products, Astringedent® hemostatic and the Metal Dento-Infusor® tip.

 In celebration of National Dental Hygiene Month, we decided to follow around a dental hygienist and see how her day unfolds. Not only is Kary Buchanan a registered dental hygienist, but she’s also a wife and mom to four girls! To say that she’s busy would be an understatement. Join us as we take a peek at a typical day in the life of dental hygienist, Kary Buchanan: 7:30 a.m. On Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday I work for Dr. Jason Skinner. Mondays and Wednesdays I typically get into the office at 7:45 a.m. My high school kids are usually walking out the door at the same time I do, and my husband gets our other two kids to school.

## [The Power of a Smile: How Facial Expressions Shape Mental Health](https://blog.ultradent.com/the-power-of-a-smile-how-facial-expressions-shape-mental-health?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | October 06, 2025

 Does smiling make us happy, or do we smile because we are happy? How much can our facial expressions influence our psychological health? These are questions scientists have asked for hundreds of years.

## [Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D—Curing Lights](https://blog.ultradent.com/dentistry-decoded-insights-from-rd-curing-lights?hsLang=en)

[Daniel Lewis](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/daniel-lewis) | March 12, 2024

 Not all dental curing lights are created equal and it’s crucial to understand the differentiating factors between lights before investing in one for your office. Irradiance vs power, beam size, even the tools used to measure light outputs all play major roles in how a curing light will function. To find true quality and efficiency in a light, a user must be able to wade through the waves of false and misleading claims often made in the world of dental curing light advertising—Ultradent’s Sr. VP of Research & Development, Neil Jessop, delves into these topics and more in this edition of Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D.

## [Irradiance vs. Power: Curing Light Performance](https://blog.ultradent.com/irradiance-vs.-power-curing-light-performance?hsLang=en)

[Daniel Lewis](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/daniel-lewis) | October 05, 2022

 As curing light technology improves, dentists are consistently sold on irradiance (mw per cm2) as being the defining factor in beam effectiveness. While there is no doubt irradiance adds value, it does not tell the full story of how well a light will cure various materials. Irradiance tests typically only show the irradiance of a very small portion of the light. Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
