There have been tremendous advancements in technologies which enable us as a profession to provide effective and efficient endodontic treatment for patients which help provide optimal clinical outcomes.

CBCT technology has been a game changer. It means we can tell exactly how many canals are present, where exactly they are located and the length of each canal without intervention. Knowledge is key in endo and once you learn strategies for overcoming the obstacles you face in endodontics, you will actually really start to enjoy the art of endodontics.

Endodonticsemninars.co.uk have created a bespoke course for dentists wishing to update their skills. The first two hours are spent discussing issues in practice. This is an open participant-led discussion focusing on what you want to learn. The course then works on extracted teeth under microscopic visualisation.Course participants can get a CBCT scan of the tooth and practise what you want to learn in small groups.

The most popular requests are help in:

  • Finding canals

  • Maintaining working length

  • Dynamic irrigation and heated obturation systems

  • Independent advice on rotary or reciprocating NiTi systems.

A new endodontic microsurgery course will also start in January. For more information see www.endodonticseminars.co.uk.
