Hands On Endodontic Course

Up to 16 CEUs

Date: September 26-27, 2025

The Tween Tooth was a term coined by Dr. Susan Seale as the tooth caught between the pediatric dentist, the general dentist and the endodontist. This course provides dental professionals with the latest knowledge and techniques for effectively treating permanent teeth in pediatric patients.

Taught by Dr. Jarod Johnson and Dr. Derek Peek, this hands-on endodontic course offers an in-depth exploration of diagnosis and management of trauma and dental caries in children. It addresses the unique challenges posed by this condition and the various behavior management and treatment options available, including both non-invasive, restorative, and surgical approaches.

Course Description:

Elevate your skills and confidently manage complex dental cases with this comprehensive continuing education course on vital pulp therapy and root canal therapy. Tailored for general practitioners and pediatric dentists, this two-day hands-on program is your gateway to enhancing patient outcomes through evidence-based practices.

Non-surgical root canal therapy is a predictable and highly successful procedure designed to remove necrotic or inflamed pulpal tissue, disinfect the root canal system, and seal it to prevent reinfection. It is essential to approach each tooth type—anterior, premolar, and molar—with a specific understanding of internal anatomy, access, and canal configuration. Dr. Peek will emphasize the importance of careful radiographic interpretation, proper coronal flaring, and the role of CBCT in identifying and accessing complex canal systems, particularly in posterior teeth. Across all cases, the foundational principles remain the same: maintain patency, shape canals while respecting anatomy, and achieve a dense, three-dimensional fill.

Attendees will learn a systematic and repeatable approach to diagnosis, anesthesia, isolation, access refinement, canal instrumentation, irrigation protocols, and obturation techniques. The course will highlight practical decision-making—such as canal location strategies, file selection, and when to consider referral. It will also include actionable clinical tips for efficient and effective treatment across all tooth types. Whether you're seeking to fine-tune your technique or gain confidence in managing more complex molar cases, this lecture will provide the framework and tools for delivering consistent, high-quality endodontic outcomes.

What You’ll Learn:

• Indirect Pulp Therapy: Learn how to effectively manage deep caries while preserving pulp vitality.
• Direct Pulp Therapy: Master techniques to treat exposed pulp tissues with precision and care.
• Pulpotomies for Primary & Permanent Teeth: Develop expertise in performing effective partial pulp removal to maintain tooth function in challenging cases.
• Apical Barriers in Immature Teeth: Discover how to create predictable barriers for apexification.
• Root Canal Therapy Essentials and Innovations: Advance your understanding of endodontic techniques and materials for long-term success.

Who Should Attend:

This course is ideal for dentists of all specialties, particularly general dentists and pediatric dentists, looking to enhance their approach to pulp and root canal therapies.
