THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL COURSE
Orthograde Endodontics
The most advanced techniques for modern root canal therapy
Master modern endodontic techniques
Endodontic techniques in the last 10-15 years have made giant strides both in the ease of performing root canal therapy and in the quality of results obtained.
The objective of the course is to enable participants to acquire new methodologies in a practical, fast but completely safe way, so they can be applied immediately in their own clinical practice.
The course is structured in 4 encounters over 2 months, with Diagnocat AI integration for canal morphology analysis.
