Exploring the benefits of MTA obturation at IFEA 2024

  Posted by: Dental Design      17th March 2024

Dr. Yoshi Terauchi is a world-renowned endodontist. Dr. Terauchi is an adjunct professor at Department of Endodontics Faculty of Dentistry Bahçeşehir University İstanbul, Turkey, an adjunct clinical assistant professor of Endodontics at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, and a part-time lecturer at Tokyo Medical & Dental University while maintaining a private practice limited to endodontics in Tokyo, Japan since 1998. Here, he discusses what we can expect from his upcoming lecture at the IFEA World Endodontic Congress in September:

My topic for IFEA Glasgow is the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for obturation. I consider MTA obturation to be very important because, especially in surgical re-treatment cases, many want to use MTA as a retro-filling material instead of using gutta percha and a sealer. This situation can be applied to nonsurgical retreatment cases. This is beneficial because gutta percha does not bond to dentine. This is why I choose to use MTA to obturate the canal in nonsurgical retreatment.

I really want everyone who attends my lecture to understand the importance of MTA obturation, and also the technique used to obturate the canal using MTA. The benefit of attending the international conference at IFEA Glasgow is to make friends with people attending lectures from all over the world. You will hear many international lecturers talking about many different topics, so it’s beneficial to attend the international event.

I’m looking forward to seeing everybody in Glasgow!
