Who should attend: general dentists, endodontists, restorative specialists, dental residents and clinic owners who want to strengthen their endodontic practice. The program is designed for clinicians at all levels — from those building foundational skills to practitioners seeking advanced, clinic-ready techniques.

What participants will gain: a complete, clinically focused endodontic workflow — from diagnosis and microscope use to canal shaping, disinfection and obturation, as well as retreatment and management of complications such as separated instruments, perforations and resorptions. The course emphasizes live demonstrations and extensive hands-on practice on realistic 3D-printed models and extracted teeth to build precision and confidence for everyday practice.

  • Develop precise microscope-assisted technique and fine motor control.
  • Learn contemporary protocols for canal preparation, disinfection and obturation.
  • Gain real-case experience and strategies for managing complex and retreatment cases.

Led by Dr. Kosturkov, the master program centers on practical training and real clinical cases, with live demos and guided hands-on sessions to ensure measurable skill development. Reserve your place to advance your endodontic competence and confidence.


This course is a combined theoretical and hands-on workshop in endodontics focused on the clinical use of modern biosilicate materials — MTA and Well-Root PT. It covers diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for managing perforations and teeth with an open apex, how to choose the right material for each clinical scenario, and key techniques for working under the microscope. This training is timely because the use of biosilicate/bioceramic materials is rapidly increasing and mastering their clinical application is essential for predictable, long‑term outcomes.

Who should attend: general dentists, endodontists, endodontic residents and clinicians who perform endodontic procedures and want to improve their management of complex cases. The course is best suited to practitioners with basic endodontic experience seeking intermediate to advanced practical skills.

What participants can expect and why it’s valuable: you will study real clinical cases illustrated with high‑quality photos and video, then apply techniques in a hands‑on setting using 3D‑printed teeth that simulate common clinical challenges. Key benefits include improved decision-making, practical skills with biosilicate cements, and tips to avoid common errors.

  • Hands-on practice on 3D‑printed teeth representing: a central incisor with a wide apical opening; a molar with a furcation perforation and furcal lesion; and a molar with a lateral root perforation.
  • Practical competencies: material selection and treatment planning; preparation of the operative field for obturation with biosilicate cements; application and adaptation of MTA and Well-Root PT; matrix technique using a resorbable barrier; assessment of fill quality; and targeted advice to prevent common mistakes.

The course is led by experienced endodontic clinicians and uses real case documentation (photos and videos) to demonstrate reproducible strategies for predictable results. Join to build confidence, predictability and precision in daily endodontic practice with bioceramic materials — register or learn more to secure your place.
