Endodontic Retreatment: A Hands-On Masterclass

Join Dr. Satnam Virdee on this hands-on course which will focus on overcoming the decision making and practical challenges associated specifically with endodontic retreatment cases.

Delegates will have the opportunity to take part in small group case-based discussion, re-access endodontically treated 3D printed teeth and subsequently retrieve gutta-percha via a combination of ultra sonics and hand and mechanical instrumentation techniques.
