Both days include a didactic session in the morning and a hands-on session in the afternoon.

HANDS-ON SESSION (1 plastic accessed molar/1 accessed extracted molar/1 non-accessed extracted tooth) 
  • Magnification: Utilize the magnifier/dental microscope to enhance precision in procedures.
  • Access Cavity Preparation and Orifice Location: Focus on improving accuracy while preserving tooth structure during access preparation.
  • Cleaning and Shaping: Establish a glide path and efficiently enlarge canals using the rotary file systems to minimize iatrogenic errors and how to manage iatrogenic errors.
  • Irrigation: Optimize techniques and protocols for irrigant activation and adequate debridement.
  • Obturation and Coronal Restoration: Achieve a 3D seal of the root canal system using high-quality materials and hydraulic condensation technique with a bio-ceramic sealer to prevent re-infection.
DIDACTIC SESSION (Fundamental/ Trending and Relevant topics in endodontics)
  • Introduction: Provide an overview of the fundamental steps involved in root canal treatment.
  • Case Selection: Identify potential risks for procedural errors and establish strategies for prevention.
  • Pain Management: Administer adequate medications for patient comfort during treatment and post-treatment period.
