Clinical Endodontics II: Endodontic Retreatment and Complex Clinical Cases (RED_037)
About Study Course
Objective
The course develops the resident's advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills in endodontic retreatment and the diagnosis, treatment planning and management of complex clinical cases. Residents acquire contemporary retreatment techniques, principles for the diagnosis and management of procedural complications, and the ability to make evidence-based clinical decisions to optimise treatment outcomes and ensure the long-term prognosis of the natural dentition.
Learning outcomes

4. Acquire knowledge of the principles and techniques for the removal of conventional root canal filling materials.
5. Acquire knowledge of the principles and techniques for the removal of root canal sealers and other filling materials.
6. Acquire knowledge of the principles of bypassing and removing separated instruments.
7. Acquire knowledge of the diagnosis, prevention and management of complications associated with nonsurgical endodontic retreatment.
8. Acquire knowledge of the diagnosis and management of root perforations.
9. Acquire knowledge of the diagnosis and management of root resorption.
10. Acquire knowledge of the diagnosis and management of calcified and obliterated root canals.
11. Acquire knowledge of the diagnosis and management of complex root canal anatomy.
12. Acquire knowledge of the diagnosis and management of discolouration of endodontically treated teeth and the principles of internal bleaching.
