A Full Immersion Endodontics Course designed for dentists who want to refresh and enhance their skills in root canal treatment and endodontic retreatment. Two intensive days combining theory and hands-on training to clarify concepts, master modern instruments and materials, and rediscover endodontics as a valuable clinical resource.
Through an essential theoretical session and an intensive practical workshop on extracted teeth, participants will experience canal shaping using traditional and martensitic instruments, both in continuous rotation and reciprocation, while exploring the advantages of bioceramic sealers. The course also covers canal obturation techniques and predictable retreatment procedures based on the latest clinical standards.
A dynamic and engaging format that helps clinicians strengthen their confidence, update their protocols, and return to practice with renewed energy and precision.
Theoretical Section
Canal shaping: general principles
Scouting, glide path, preflare
Continuous rotation and reciprocation
Management of calcified canals
Working length
Apical gauging and refinement
Essential protocols for canal system cleaning
Root canal filling: general principles
Endodontic seal: warm vertical condensation, carrier-based systems, bioceramic sealers
Practical Section
Mechanical shaping of the canal body in continuous rotation and reciprocation on extracted teeth with access cavities already prepared by the participant (ideally at least 3 single-rooted and 3 multi-rooted teeth, both upper and lower, with access cavities prepared)
Manual scouting and achievement of the correct working length
Glide path and mechanical preflare
Shaping using rotary and reciprocating systems
Theoretical Section
Endodontic retreatment: why, when, and how to retreat
Redefining a proper access cavity
Removal of intracanal retainers: metal posts, fiber posts, zirconia posts
Removal of root canal filling materials
Practical Section
Apical refinement and visual gauging
Root canal filling
Backfilling with thermoplasticized gutta-percha
Possibility to shape additional teeth using the techniques and instruments previously described
The course is intended for dentists who wish to enhance or update their skills in endodontics. It is particularly suited for those who want to gain confidence in performing root canal treatments and retreatments, learn to use modern instruments and materials, and apply efficient clinical protocols in daily practice. A full-immersion experience designed for professionals seeking a practical, up-to-date, and hands-on approach to endodontic therapy.
Each participant is required to bring extracted teeth with pre-prepared access cavities, preferably both anterior and posterior, properly stored in a moist environment from the time of extraction until the day of the course (saline solution + sodium hypochlorite).
Teeth stored dry are difficult to use as they tend to become brittle and break easily.
It is recommended to bring at least 3 single-rooted and 3 multi-rooted teeth, divided between upper and lower arches, with access cavities already prepared.
Tip:
Immediately after extraction, immerse the tooth in 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for at least 30 minutes, rinse it, and store it in a tightly sealed container filled with two-thirds saline solution and one-third sodium hypochlorite.
