Intensive Endodontics

Why This Course

Endodontic training given in the dental college during the under graduation period does not give the confidence for doing quality treatment on patients . So we have customized the course with extensive hands - on training using state of the art equipments and materials which will give you the confidence to do successful endodontic treatment on patients

Course Overview

This course is an eye opener to the world of Endodontics. We start from the basics to the advanced methods and techniques which will make you updated and enhance your confidence to practice endodontics with predictable results.

The hands-on training provide an opportunity for clinical mastery and break through training. Evidence based procedures are clearly demonstrated utilizing the most proven state of the art techniques. It affords an unique learning environment and features an intra oral camera, digital radiography, apex locators, endodontic motors, ultrasonics and handpieces. Every workstation is fully equipped with airotor and micromotor modules and complete armamentarium and supplies necessary to participate fully.

After the course, participants will continue to receive online mentoring and assistance in their journey to becoming successful Practitioners.
