Endo Update 2026: What Modern Endodontics Really Needs to Decide Today

On November 13, 2026, the Dr. B.-Digitec Academy will host a professional development course on modern endodontics. The speaker will be Prof. Dr. Michael A. Baumann from Cologne.

The event will take place from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Cologne on Dürener Straße. Participants will receive 6 continuing education credits. The flat admission fee is 149 euros per person.

The focus is on questions that are highly relevant in everyday practice: What kind of preparation makes sense today? Why does disinfection remain one of the key factors for success in root canal treatment? A brief explanation

The Endo Update 2026 is designed for dentists who wish to gain a professional understanding of and update their endodontic procedures. This continuing education program brings together current concepts in root canal preparation, disinfection, and clinical decision-making in a practical, hands-on format.

In addition to the professional program, the event also provides opportunities for personal interaction, including a welcome coffee break, a buffet, and a closing get-together.

It's the disinfection, stupid!

A second key point drives the issue home in a deliberately pointed way: It’s the disinfection, stupid!

After all, the file system alone does not determine the success of endodontic treatment. What matters most is whether the root canal system is adequately cleaned and disinfected.

Mechanical instruments cannot reach all areas of the root canal system. Lateral canals, isthmuses, dentinal tubules, and complex anatomical structures remain only partially accessible. For this reason, disinfection is not a secondary step, but a central component of modern endodontics.

The focus is therefore on, among other things:

• Effective washing protocols
• Exposure Time, Volume, and Activation
• Common Sources of Error
• Disinfection strategies suitable for everyday use
• Safe Procedures for the Practice

Prof. Dr. Michael A. Baumann as a speaker

This combination is particularly important for an endodontic update. New systems and techniques must not only be understood, but also evaluated from a professional perspective: What makes sense? What depends on the indication? What truly improves the workflow?
