PROGRAM AT A GLANCE


This course is designed to walk dentists and assistants through an entire endodontic appointment from phone call to the final result. The course focuses on the ultimate goal of the single visit Endo/Resto appointment: preservation and extension of the tooth life cycle. Dentists and assistants will not only come away with understanding how to efficiently fill the root, but how to immediately preserve the long-term success of the tooth via current restorative trends and techniques.
