simplyendo – 10 day endodontic programme

10 Day Endodontic Programme

This programme runs on two consecutive days a month, allowing you to rapidly acquire a new confidence in your endodontic diagnosis, case planning and treatment.

Aims and objectives

simplyendo provides an endodontic coaching programme for dentists that:

  • teaches the biology of endodontic disease
  • demonstrates and discusses contemporary endodontic techniques, using an evidence-based scientific approach
  • is delivered by the simplyendo team of dentists and clinical assistants
  • this results in predictable endodontic care of the highest quality

Participants will develop:

  • an understanding of the aetiology of endodontic disease
  • the ability to assess the likely prognosis for successful endodontic treatment
  • the ability to carry out an appropriate treatment with a high degree of predictability

They will:

  • experience the use of rotary canal preparation techniques and thermal obturation systems
  • appreciate the importance of both apical and coronal seals
  • understand the difficulties of retreatments and concepts such as resorption
  • understand the management of trauma

They will also:

  • experience the very latest and evidence-based endodontic opinions
  • be in an excellent position to make valid diagnosis and choose appropriate treatment plans

Module topics

Hands-on techniques are demonstrated both live and with the use of video. The ratio of didactic to hands-on training is 50:50.

Participants are encouraged to have a go themselves, using all of the contemporary endodontic preparation and obturation systems currently available in the UK. The hands-on sessions allow participants the opportunity for an unbiased look at the different systems and materials.
