Boston University School of Dentistry – Dr Herbert Schilder
Professor, Clinician and Mentor
Over 40 years ago, Dr. Herbert Schilder at Boston University introduced a concept of cleaning and shaping root canals in a tapering shape and then “filling” that space “three–dimensionally” with gutta-percha, warmed in the canal and compacted vertically. This method became known at the “Schilder Technique”. It was his contention that all the “exits” from the tooth were clinically significant and must be sealed with a maximum amount of gutta-percha and a minimum amount of sealer to obtain the highest success rate.
Warm gutta–percha, vertically compacted has proved the MOST effective in filling the canals of severely curved roots and roots with lateral canals, or with multiple “exits”.
Dr Lordan studied in Boston university for two years with Dr Schilder and the techniques taught there are considered the gold-standard in endodontics and are practised at his practice in The Northbrook Clinic.
