Two Day Hands-on Endodontic Courses for GDPs
Modern endodontics is a complex, often bewildering subject. The growth in new file systems, irrigation solutions, and obturation materials each claiming to improve your endodontic outcomes are both confusing and in many cases, misleading.
The two day courses are designed to give you the information you need to make the best treatment decisions for your patients and to develop your clinical endodontic skills.
As good endodontic treatment requires high technical ability, a significant part of the course will be spent hands-on, working on both extracted teeth and simulated root canals - you will need to bring some extracted molar teeth with you.
Although we will be using certain file systems and obturation methods on the course, the teaching will be applicable to all endodontic file systems and obturation techniques.
Split over two days, the course offers a total of 13 hours verifiable CPD and includes lunch and refreshments during the day.
