Overview
The objective of this course is to prepare the general practitioner to perform endodontics on both a routine and emergency basis. The course is based on patient treatment, with each participant completing a multi-rooted tooth over four weekly sessions. A team approach is encouraged therefore you are welcome to register your dental assistant.

Clinical sessions will be preceded by seminars and “hands-on” exercises in rubber dam application and endodontic radiology. Participants will learn to build up teeth with orthodontic bands to prevent fractures and to provide an aseptic working environment.

Clinically, participants will have the opportunity to use the latest technology such as apex locators and thermoplasticised root filling devices. The final seminar will involve a constructive analysis of the participants’ clinical results.
