Overview

The objective of this course is to prepare the general practitioner to perform endodontics on a routine basis. The course is based on patient treatment, with each participant completing a multi-rooted tooth over four weekly sessions. The patient sessions are supported by laboratory exercises on extracted teeth and models in the "state of the art" clinical simulation unit. A team approach is encouraged and therefore you are welcome to register your dental assistant for the clinical sessions. The clinical sessions will be preceded by practical seminars and “hands-on” exercises in all phases of endodontic treatment. These include building up teeth with orthodontic bands to prevent fractures and to provide an aseptic working environment, the rapid application of rubber dam and accurate and easy endodontic radiology. Clinically, participants will have the opportunity to use the latest technology including apex locators, rotary files and thermoplasticised root filling devices. The final seminar will involve a constructive analysis of the participants’ clinical results. A comprehensive set of notes is included.
