This condensed program is designed to teach and enhance the candidates’ ability to manage their daily workflow endodontic cases. The program tackles different topics including diagnosis, treatment planning, Cone Beam Computed Tomography “CBCT” interpretation, advanced molar endodontics with the recent shaping and obturation techniques. Since the main aim is to expose participants to a wide variety of cases, 25% of the program content is lectures & hands-on workshops and 75% is clinical work on patients.
