Comprehensive Endodontic Workshop

Course Overview

Endodontics often present with various challenges to the clinician. These may include difficulty in diagnosis, treatment planning, pain management, Rubber dam isolation, access cavity preparation, negotiation of curved/calcified canals, disinfection and obturation. Therefore, this course is designed for general dental practitioners who wish to gain more confidence in managing patients who requires root canal therapy.This workshop includes two days of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops on 3D models and extracted teeth highlighting the benefits of illumination/magnification like operating microscopes, ultrasonics, advanced rotary canal preparation, newer irrigation devices, three dimensional obturation techniques/systems and materials to achieve predictable coronal seal.The workshop also includes Case based learning focusing on diagnosis, treatment planning and problem solving in non-Surgical root canal treatment and retreatment.Topics covered during the lecture and workshop:1.
