Course Description

Many advances have been made in the surgical endodontics in the past few years that have increased the feasibility and predictability of this procedure to save natural dentition. These include enhanced magnification and illumination, ultra- sonic tips, micro instruments, newer root-end filling materials, and the use of cone beam computed tomography.

In this symposium a group of experts in the field of Endodontic Microsurgery will gather in Seattle, to discuss the latest information regarding: treatment planning and outcomes, anatomical structures encountered during this procedure, management of soft and hard tissues, as well as do’s and don’ts of Endodontic Microsurgery. The primary objective of this symposium is not only to teach the attendees how to perform Endodontic Microsurgery, but also provide them with the latest science and technology behind the technical aspects of this procedure.

We invite you to join us this September for one and one half days to hear from our esteemed faculty who intend to bring the Endodontic Microsurgery to the next level.
