Ep. 746 - Mastering Working Length: Technology That Elevates Endodontics

Episode notes

Why do so many endodontic cases fail to achieve optimal outcomes, despite advances in rotary instrumentation and irrigation protocols? The answer often lies in one of the most fundamental yet frequently overlooked aspects of root canal therapy: accurate working length determination throughout the entire procedure. Dr. Lucila Piasecki brings exceptional credentials to this discussion as Clinical Associate Professor of Endodontics at the University at Buffalo since 2016. She completed her dental degree in Brazil (2003), followed by endodontic specialization (2005), Masters (2011), and PhD (2014). Her research fellowship at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy (2015) and American DDS degree from University of Buffalo (2022) demonstrate her commitment to advancing endodontic science. Dr. Piasecki has been studying apex locators and working length determination since 2009, and a recent Journal of Endodontics bibliometric analysis identified her as the author with the highest number of publications on electronic apex locators in endodontics, with eleven peer-reviewed studies to her credit.
