DCEdental: the largest online dental CE directory in the world

Properly performed endodontic treatment is the cornerstone of restorative and reconstructive dentistry. Yet, many endodontically treated teeth are failing for a variety of reasons. The vast majority of these failures can be successfully retreated nonsurgically. Are your treatment choices limited by training? Do you have the knowledge, confidence, and the essential technologies to perform successful retreatment? Would you like to expand your practice potential?

Course Objectives:

A review of root canal system anatomy and its role in endodontic prognosis is followed by a systematic analysis of those factors commonly implicated in endodontic failure. Evidence-based procedures will be clearly demonstrated utilizing the most proven, effective, and state-of-the-art techniques. Multi-disciplinary treatment planning, case selection, and retreatment fees will be emphasized in order to improve your clinical results, professional satisfaction, and profitability. This advanced program is designed for the dental team whose vision is the long-term retention of critically essential teeth.
