Prof Dr Marco Versiani, DDS, MSc, PhD
Dr. Versiani earned his Dentistry degree in 1992. Since 1994, he served part-time as a dentist in the Dental Department of the Brazilian Military Police, attaining the rank of Colonel. His academic journey includes certifications in Endodontics (1999), Didactics (1998), and Bioethics (2003). Dr. Versiani completed his Master’s Degree, PhD, and three postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Sao Paulo by the year of 2015. Within the endodontic literature,
Dr. Versiani authored 4 books, 36 book chapters, and over 150 peer-reviewed papers in high-impact journals, with an h-factor of 43. Currently, he serves as a member of the scientific advisory panel for the Journal of Endodontics and the Editorial Board of the International Endodontic Journal.
Dr. Versiani lectures worldwide focusing on his main research interests that include exploring the impact of root canal anatomy on endodontic procedures, using non-invasive 3D X-ray micro-computed tomography and CBCT, towards the improvement of both chemical and mechanical debridement of root canals.
Topic:
“Overfast Mechanical Shaping: Reconsidering Root Canal Debridement”
Abstract:
In contemporary clinical practice, there is a prevalent trend towards excessively rapid mechanical shaping of root canals. This can be attributed to the advanced engine-driven technology currently in use, which significantly reduces the time required for enlarging the root canal space. As a result, it disrupts the conventional approach of Cleaning & Shaping, which traditionally involves a synchronized and simultaneous trans-operative procedure. Taken into account the current knowledge on the morphology of the root canal syste, this lecture aims to discuss the impact of modern mechanical canal shaping protocols on the traditional concept of root canal preparation and explore enhanced techniques for contemporary canal irrigation.
