Comprehensive Endodontics
The aim of this comprehensive 2-day course will best enable dentists to perform root canals with predictable outcomes working with modern disinfection, instrumentation techniques and obturation materials and techniques.
Description
The first and foremost aim of providing quality restorative dentistry is to eliminate disease and preserve healthy tooth structure. Modern Endodontics is no different. It is a philosophy that encourages using disinfection and instrumentation techniques that are not only designed to eliminate disease but also preservation of dentine.
The aim of this comprehensive 2-day course will best enable dentists to perform root canals with predictable outcomes working with modern disinfection, instrumentation techniques and obturation materials and techniques. The course includes better understanding of root canal anatomy, working through access designs and orifice location including calcified canals with focus of diagnostic techniques for more predictability.
