Infrequently, but on occasion, endodontic surgery is required to retain certain, critically essential teeth. When interdisciplinary treatment planning favors this corrective procedure, are you trained and confident to perform a wide range of periradicular surgical procedures? Is your decision to perform surgery limited by tooth type or position? Are you looking for a state-of-the-art, endodontic microsurgical course?

Course Objectives

Most endodontic failures can be successfully retreated utilizing nonsurgical retreatment techniques; however, certain cases cannot be salvaged short of surgical correction. Emphasis will be placed on the role of microsurgical techniques to resolve a wide range of clinical problems in both the anterior and posterior teeth. This two-day course will utilize superb photographic and video documentation to show advanced surgical concepts and techniques.
