Advance your skills in endodontics with this two-day, hands-on training program. While working side by side with today's sharpest endodontists, you'll receive advice, tips, and technology-focused insights. When you return to work on Monday, you'll have new skills that allow you to perform better endodontic care more confidently and quickly. This hands-on program features diagnosis, anesthesia, access preparations, safer and faster instrumentation, obturation, pain and infection management, single visit endo, and the restoration of endodontically-treated teeth.
