About the Course
Endodontics is a challenging field of dentistry that has undergone rapid and significant technological changes over the past few years. It is easy for the general dental practitioner to become confused by these issues and lose sight of the biological fundamentals that lead to a successful outcome. A correct diagnosis, in combination with the right choice of new materials and techniques, will ensure an environment that offers an extremely high probability of success and a healthy apical periodontium. The goal of this course is to provide participants with knowledge and skills to make the practice of endodontics simple and predictably successful. Preparation and root filling techniques will be demonstrated live, and there will be ample time for participants to practice contains a significant amount video footage recorded through a surgical operating microscope that will allow the participants to experience complex endodontic procedures from a firstperson perspective.
