This two-day hands-on seminar offers personalised, high-level training for general dentists wishing to pursue excellence in endodontics, and will teach state-of-the-art evidence-based procedures in root canal preparation and obturation, with a focus on recent advances in endodontic diagnosis and materials. Important techniques for avoiding and managing endodontic procedural problems will be analysed in detail, and participants will be introduced to contemporary methods for the removal of obturation materials and obstructions from root canals. Lecture material will be presented utilising microscope-assisted clinical video, and the workshop portion of the course will provide a hands-on opportunity to use the most clinically relevant rotary NiTi systems and obturation methods. Modern techniques for removing posts, gutta-percha, and fractured instruments will be demonstrated, with operating microscopes available for all hands-on exercises. Participation is designed to improve your clinical results, efficiency, scope of practice, and professional satisfaction.
