• Technique of the removal of gutta-percha and carrier based obturation
• How to dislodge different types of post
• Ledges management
• Technique to remove or bypassing separated instruments
• Effective disinfection using new and innovative instrumentation
• Problem solving using Bioceramic material
• Have learnt how to use better an operating microscope

DAY 1
Covers the aetiology, diagnosis and management of failed endodontic treatments, how and when to treat or refer. The remainder of day will be occupied by practical exercises using ultrasonic tips. Disassembly of obturation materials: gutta percha, carrier based obturation, screw post, fiber post and metal post on extracted teeth.
