Bioceramics: Contemporary Approaches to Treating Perforations and Teeth with an Open Apex

This theoretical session focuses on the clinical applications of modern biosilicate materials in endodontics—MTA and Well-Root PT. It will review diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for treating perforations and teeth with open apices, guide material selection for different clinical situations, and highlight key points for working under the microscope. This topic is timely because bioactive silicate materials are increasingly changing how we manage complex endodontic repairs, improving predictability and long-term outcomes.

Who should attend: general dentists who perform endodontic treatment, endodontists, restorative dentists, dental residents and clinic owners looking to upgrade their endodontic practice. Recommended skill level: clinicians with basic endodontic knowledge seeking to move to intermediate/advanced clinical decision-making and technique.

What participants can expect and key benefits:

• Case-based theoretical review illustrated with high-quality photos and videos, demonstrating strategies to achieve predictable clinical results.
• Hands-on practice on 3D-printed teeth simulating real clinical scenarios to build confidence and precision.
• Practical guidance on diagnostic/therapeutic choices, material selection (MTA vs. Well-Root PT) and microscope-assisted technique.

Practical cases included (3D-printed teeth): • central incisor with a wide apical opening • molar with a furcation perforation and furcation lesion • molar with a lateral root canal perforation

Led by experienced endodontic clinicians and focused on building confidence, predictability and accuracy when using bioceramic/biosilicate materials in everyday endodontic practice. Register to secure your place or learn more about the program.
