This 2-day course consists of a combination of lecture and laboratory exercises (about 50% lecture and 50% hands-on working with extracted teeth).  18 hours of CE credit. Topics include re-treatment, removal of posts and separated instruments, MTA and similar materials, trauma, open apices, resorption, shaping and cleaning of difficult canal anatomy, and others. See Course Objectives below for more details.

The course material is relevant to all dentists, especially to those with a keen interest in diagnosing and treating complex endodontic cases. Dentists who have a microscope or who are considering acquiring one will find this course very useful.

The other 2-day Course #1 offered by Endodontics Unsponsored is titled Shaping, Cleaning, and Obturating Root Canal Systems. Course #1 provides plenty of information that is useful for dentists who are inexperienced and very experienced in endo. Course #1 is NOT ‘basic’. It is more relevant to the endodontic treatment that is done in a general practice. It is NOT a requirement to take Course #1 prior to Course #2, but many dentists who have taken Course #2 first and then Course #1 at a later date have said that they wish that they had taken Course #1 first.  

Course Objectives

  1. To learn more about treatment of traumatized teeth (e.g. horizontal root fractures, pulpal obliteration, internal bleaching).
  2.  To learn more about treatment of teeth with open apices.
  3.  To learn more about diagnosis and treatment of root resorption (internal and different types of external).
  4.  To learn more about diagnosing unfixable endodontic problems (e.g. root fractures).
  5.  To learn more about diagnosing and treating fixable endodontic failures (e.g. locating untreated canals, removing contaminated and/or short gutta percha).
  6.  To learn more about when and how to treat perforations.
  7.  To learn when and how to use MTA and other bioceramic materials.
  8.  To learn more about endodontic re-treatment including removal of crowns/bridges, posts, gutta percha, pastes, Thermafil, silver points, separated instruments. (For a more thorough course about removing separated files, search for courses by Dr. Yoshi Terauchi who is the world’s guru at this). 
  9.  To learn more about treating calcified, ledged, blocked, and severely curved canals. This will include an update on most of the file systems presently available as well as discussion about the growing trend to conserve dentin to hopefully reduce the incidence of root fractures.
  10.  To learn more about ‘advanced’ irrigation techniques to better clean complex canal anatomy.
