PROF. FRANCESCO MANNOCCI

Specialist in Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry
Private Practitioners Limited to Endodontics in Central London

Prof Francesco Mannocci (MD,DDS,PhD, FHEA) is a Specialist in

Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry. He obtained his MD (Pisa, Italy,
1986) and DDS (Pisa, 1990) in Italy, and his PhD in Clinical Dentistry from
King's College London in 2001. After having worked in private practice in
Pisa for 18 years while collaborating with the University of Siena as a
Visiting Professor he became Lecturer in Endodontology at King's College
London in 2004, Senior lecturer/Honorary Consultant in 2006, Head of
Endodontology in 2008, and Professor of Endodontology at Kings College
London in 2010. Prof Mannocci has authored more than 90 papers in
international peer reviewed journals. Prof Mannocci is Associate Editor of
the International Endodontic Journal. Prof Mannocci has worked
extensively on subjects including restoration of endodontically treated
teeth, instrumentation techniques, dental anatomy, histology, endodontic
radiology and endodontic microbiology. Prof Mannocci maintains a private
practice limited to Endodontics in Central London.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Dentists will learn to achieve ease of obtaining a comfortable

access to the canal orifices in the initial cavity access preparation.
Overview of traditional techniques, their disadvantages
Ni-Ti revolution how it changed the endodontic procedure
Choosing the best Ni-Ti instruments: taper, cutting/non-cutting
blades and tip, flexibility and rigidness
Overview of available motors/hand pieces: speed, torque, reverse
Irrigation protocol
Shaping protocol
You will learn various techniques to manage severely curved
canals with ease and increased efficiency.
Learn techniques to simplify re-treatment cases.
Three dimensional Obturation techniques thereby achieving
optimal seal and enhanced success rate.
Technological innovations have considerably changed endodontic
procedures; cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), operative
microscopes, ultrasonic and apex locators allow endodontists and
general practitioners to appreciate as never before the complexity

of the root canal system in a clinical context; root canal treatments

of maxillary molars with 2mesio-buccal canals and of mandibular
molars with 3 separate canals in the mesial root have become
common; however while the number of difficult endodontic
treatments has increased, the evolution of endodontic instruments
has allowed a considerable simplification of instrumentation and
obturation techniques.
This course will go through some essential aspects of endodontic
diagnosis including the use of CBCT, treatment planning, approach
to challenging endodontic cases, the course will also describe the
mechanical properties, the instrumentation sequence and the
clinical advantages of ProTaper next, a new endodontic file
fabricated using an innovative thermal-treatment process to create
M-Wire NiTi.
The use of the Endo-activator, an effective technique to enhance the
effect of endodontic irrigants will be described.
A new carrier based root canal obturation technique (GuttaCore) will
be also presented.
GuttaCore is the evolution of the Thermafill concept. In this new
system the plastic carrier has been replaced with a cross-linked
gutta-percha carrier, this material ensures an improved adhesion
to the gutta-percha coating and permits a much easier removal of
the carrier itself in case of retreatment.
