Endodontics - Master Program. From Basics to Expert

Covers preendodontic restorations and operative-field isolation with rubber dam. Intended audience: general dentists and endodontists performing restorative and endodontic treatments.

Outcomes/skills:

• Identify and use instrumentation and clamp selection; apply isolation techniques for single-tooth, segmental, and split-dam configurations.
• Execute preendodontic build-ups for severely damaged teeth and create traditional, conservative, and ultra‑conservative endodontic access while locating canal orifices under magnification.
• Demonstrate rubber-dam placement in maxillary and mandibular regions and perform practical isolation for single teeth, segments, and split-dam technique.

Topic: endodontic access, three‑dimensional canal shaping, contemporary disinfection and obturation.

Intended audience: general dentists and endodontists seeking hands‑on skills in modern root canal therapy.

Outcomes/skills:

• Execute and differentiate traditional, conservative and ultra‑conservative endodontic access using appropriate instruments and rules for locating orifices and canals.
• Create a reproducible machine glide path and perform 3D canal shaping with fully motorized protocols, including pre‑operative management and instrumentation techniques for curved canals.
• Apply contemporary disinfection strategies (selection of irrigants, activation methods such as passive ultrasonic and laser, and intracanal medication) and select and perform obturation techniques (single‑cone with bioceramic sealer; warm techniques including continuous wave of condensation and squirting), including cleaning the pulp chamber and placing an adhesive barrier.

Provides practical and theoretical training in endodontic retreatment, intraradicular post removal and management of canal obstructions. Intended audience: general dentists and endodontic clinicians performing or planning retreatment procedures. Outcomes include: ability to create predictable endodontic access, locate canal orifices and negotiate calcified and curved canals; safe removal of metal and fiber‑glass posts and thorough removal of existing root canal fillings and cements; and identification, prevention and management of ledges and apical blockages, including techniques to bypass and remove apical plugs.

Covers management of separated endodontic instruments; intended for endodontists and general dentists performing root canal treatment. Teaches to identify causes of instrument separation and apply prevention measures. Trains step-by-step bypass techniques and concrete removal methods (microtube, ultrasonic, braiding). Provides hands-on practice to develop proficiency in microtube, ultrasonic and braiding techniques for extracting separated instruments from root canals.

Provides practical and theoretical training in diagnosis and management of root perforations, internal/external resorptions, and teeth with open apices, emphasizing MTA and bioceramic (biosilicate) materials and ultrasonic techniques.

Intended for endodontists, general dentists, and advanced dental trainees seeking hands‑on repair and vital‑pulp treatment skills.

Outcomes/skills:

• Explain etiology, classification, prognosis, and select appropriate diagnostic and treatment approaches for perforations and resorptions.
• Demonstrate clinical use and material selection: dosing, mixing, and placement of MTA and bioceramic/biosilicate cements, ultrasonic condensation, and matrix/apical‑plug techniques using resorbable/collagen matrices for open apices.
• Perform biological (vital‑pulp) treatments for cases with pulp communication and for deep caries without pulp exposure: prepare intracanal medicaments, apply pulp covers, and restore the cavity; integrate multidisciplinary approaches as needed.
