Successful management of the apical third of root canal systems has long been considered to be the most significant and challenging aspect of endodontic therapy. This is especially true in the treatment of apical periodontitis, where elimination of microorganisms is considered to be of the utmost importance for successful clinical outcomes.  Significant, because the apical third contains the most important portals of exit of the root canal system to the periradicular area.  Challenging, because it is the least accessible part of root canal systems with the most variation in anatomy, making cleaning and disinfection a daunting task.   In addition, “successful management” needs to be achieved with minimal alteration to the original canal anatomy while maintaining tooth strength by preserving as much tooth structure as possible. 
This lecture will review the importance and complexities of the apical third of root canal systems and will present a new, minimally invasive, laser treatment concept, Radial Apical Cleansing, for successful management of this critical area.  The incorporation of Laser Activated Irrigation will play a significant role in the management of root canal system disinfection as well as clinical situations such as loss of patency due to calcification, blockages, ledging and complex canal anatomy. Special consideration will be given to Apical Foramen cleaning and the management of apical ramifications (deltas), lateral canals and isthmuses using laser energy.

Dr. Kolnick received his dental degree cum laude from the University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, South Africa. He completed his postdoctoral endodontic training at Columbia University, New York.  For the past 34 years, Dr. Kolnick has been in private practice limited to endodontics in Westchester County, NY.
Dr. Kolnick has been committed to endodontic education, first as an Associate Clinical Professor in Endodontics at Columbia University and then as an Attending at Westchester Medical Center and an Associate Clinical Professor in Endodontics at New York Medical College. Although he no longer holds these positions, he continues to lecture extensively on a local, national and international level and has published several articles on endodontics.
