These courses are ideal for those new to endodontics or looking to refresh their foundational knowledge of the field. These endodontic courses will introduce how to use a patient's medical history, self-reported symptoms and clinical exam to make a diagnosis before discussing the proper selection of 2D and CBCT radiographs. Afterwards, we'll examine pulpal diseases and their etiology, followed by an endodontics armamentarium. By the end of the four Foundational courses, you will have a concrete understanding of the basics of endodontics, allowing you to move forward to our intermediate-level course series, the Procedure-Based courses.

Procedure-Based
The intermediate-level courses are ideal for those with an established understanding of the fundamentals of endodontics or looking to refresh their basic knowledge of the field. The modules will examine endodontic therapy on three types of teeth: the anterior, premolar and molar. In addition to discussing factors that affect the outcomes of treatments, experts will examine possible challenges and the latest techniques and instruments required for clinical success. After completing the three courses, participants are encouraged to visit hands-on courses and continue to the advanced level, the Mastery course series.
