Mini Residency in Endodontics is an amazing course bringing together fifteen (15) Specialists to broaden your knowledge and skills in Endodontics, for a full comprehensive program of theoretical and clinical aspects of both nonsurgical and surgical endodontics, from basic to advanced concepts.
New and current Endodontic techniques and strategies will be provided across a wide variety of topics, including diagnosis and prognosis, multidisciplinary treatment planning, assessing CBCT scans, operating a microscope, how to manage complications in endodontics, remove broken instruments, understanding crown lengthening and how to restore a compromised tooth, and pain management.
This extensive curriculum will be covered across of four (4) structured learning modules. Each module consists of Day 1- lecture and Day 2 workshop. This registration includes ONLY Day 1 - lecture component - of each module. NO Day 2 workshops are included in this registration.
Early registration is recommended. The full experience of this amazing Mini Residency in Endodontics, including Day 2 workshops, is limited due to seating availability.
Discover further information below and explore this unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills in Endodontics.
MODULE 1: Friday 05 July 2024
Embark on the journey of Endodontics with a solid foundation. Module 1 lecture opens the Mini Residency in Endodontics with a comprehensive review of the endodontic principles and spans quickly into exploring today’s latest updates in endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
Introducing the latest advances in endodontic treatments, Specialists will share practical strategies for pre-op assessments and endodontic radiography.
Learn the secrets for effective Endodontic access and the using rotary Niti and irrigants. This module will also provide techniques for determining the working length and sealing the roots.
TOPICS Include:
• Diagnosis, pre-op assessment and multidisciplinary treatment planning
• Modern concepts in endodontic access design and location of calcified and MB2 canals
• Introduction of the use of Cone Beam CT technology in endodontics
• Current concepts in chemo-mechanical disinfection and obturation with a focus on hybrid warm vertical compaction
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Understand how to use the operating microscope
• Understand how to treatment plan the endodontic case
• Understand how to assess CBCT scans
• Understand how to manage complex endodontic cases
MODULE 2: Friday 29 November 2024
Module 2 lecture continues the Mini Residency in Endodontics comprehensive review into endodontic radiography, introduces innovative techniques for managing an open apex, and provides strategies to manage endodontic failures.
Identify the truth behind the common myths of endodontic treatment and explore the scientific evidence relating to such myths as: apical size determines success, specific number of visits are needed, and if canals can be sterilised.
This course will also provide skills and tools to better manage a difficult patient and increase your understanding for the true meaning of informed consent.
TOPICS Include:
• Principles of contemporary endodontic retreatment
• Fractured instrument removal
• Management of the open apex
• Management of endodontic misadventures
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Understand the principles of endodontic retreatment
• Understand how to manage complex endodontic cases
• Understand how to manage difficult patients
• Understand risk assessment and how to manage complications in endodontics
MODULE 3: Friday 14 February 2025
The Mini Residency in Endodontics continues into a new year exploring specific endodontic treatments and strategies. Module 3 begins by exploring into the complexities of ‘a crack’. Proper diagnosis and identification techniques will be reviewed, followed by practical treatment strategies.
Module 3 introduces flap design, endodontic microsurgery, and explores the complexities into managing dental trauma. In addition, evidential arguments will be discussed for best-outcome prognosis - implant or endodontic treatment? Further topics also include crown lengthening and the relationship between endodontics and periodontics.
TOPICS Include:
• Principles of contemporary endodontic microsurgery
• Update on dental trauma management
• Principles of crown lengthening
• Complications and risk management in Endodontics
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Understand the principles of endodontic microsurgery
• Understand how to manage dental trauma
• Understand crown lengthening and how to restore a compromised tooth
MODULE 4: Friday 02 May 2025
ini Residency in Endodontics concludes in Module 4 with investigating advanced endodontic conditions and treatments. From the Ortho/Endo continuum to diagnosis of non-endodontic radiolucencies, presenters will provide current strategies for advanced cases.
Advanced management strategies will also be shared to help manage an ankylosed tooth, a complex patient with TMD/Bruxer/Ortho, and pain management.
In addition, Module 4 will review the restoration of the endodontically treated teeth, from both the endodontic perspective and the prosthodontic perspective. Lastly, multidisciplinary cases will be presented for class discussion.
TOPICS Include:
• Non-odontogenic Pain and it’s identification and management
• IV sedation and pain control
• Using ultrasonic tips for removal of objects
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Understand techniques for removing objects
• Appreciate the complexity of pain control in endodontics
• Understand the difficulties in identifying non-odontogenic pain
