Level 2 Practical Endodontics (DENT0008)

This module is designed to enable the postgraduate to become acquainted at first hand with more advanced techniques for preparing and obturating root canals, endodontic retreatment and microsurgery. The operative techniques are carried out in simulated canals in plastic blocks, on extracted teeth inserted in simulated jaws mounted in a Phantom Head and on a sheep’s/pig’s jaw. Contemporary endodontic preparation techniques involving automated delivery and super-elastic rotary files, together with heated gutta-percha and bonded resin obturating techniques, will be taught through demonstration and practice. Perfection of these techniques will be encouraged for use in the clinical mentoring modules.
