Endodontic Retreatment (FREE EVENT)
Description
Endodontic re-treatment is usually the first choice approach to managing such problems. Re-treatment will be complicated by the presence of the root filling material and often the nature of this material will be unknown. Fortunately, most root canal fillings can be removed with a combination of mechanical and chemical dissolution methods which will be discussed and demonstrated. Course participants will then be able to practice these techniques on extracted root-filled teeth that will be provided.
