Advanced Endodontics (July 2026)
7th – 9th july 2026
Endodontic retreatment can be very challenging for clinicians especially in decision making to get the best outcome of a previously failed endodontic treatment. Understanding the reasons for the failure, achieving minimally invasive access, complete removal of old root canal filling material, root canal morphological variations, predictable debridement using evidence-based protocols and latest devices, obtaining three-dimensional obturation and good coronal seal are very essential factors for the success of an endodontic treatment. Therefore, this 3-days advanced endodontics workshop will focus on a systematic approach to formulate the clinical diagnosis, use of microscope, ultrasonics, and evidence-based treatment protocols to accomplish the predictable success in treating failed endodontic cases.
Upon completion of the programme, the candidate should be able to:
• Enhance the evidence-based knowledge and improve skills in managing failed endodontic cases in clinical practice.
• Develop familiarity with the use of magnification and latest instruments and technology in managing failed endodontic cases with a higher degree of confidence and predictability.
• Understand management of cracked teeth and teeth with calcified canals.
• Boost confidence in managing teeth with immature open apex and large periapical lesions.
• Manage tooth perforation and handle various bioceramic- based materials.
• Manage root canals with ledges, and separated instruments.
– Exclusive focus on advanced clinical skills
– Hands-on mastery of managing endodontic cases of all complexities
– Practical training using extracted molar teeth and 3D-printed teeth models
– Extended hands-on sessions:-
1. Real-world tips from 20+ years of global expertise.
2. Integration of modern tools and technologies.
3. CBCT, magnification, ultrasonics, bioceramics, thermoplastic obturation.
4. Solutions for the most challenging cases.
5. Cracked teeth, calcifications, C-shaped canals, retreatments, open apices, perforation repair, removal of separated instruments, ledge bypass, endodontic emergencies, dental trauma, severely curved canals.
– Personal Endodontic Microscope: Every participant will work with their own microscope during the entire hands-on training
– Take-home materials worth RM 1000 included
– Free printed reading material specially designed by the mentor
– Personalized training and mentorship for 3 months post-workshop
– One-hour online session every month to discuss your cases and refine your skills
