Non-Surgical Root Canal Retreatment: Hands-On Course by Yoshi Terauchi

Hands-On Course with Yoshi Terauchi — your key to successful non-surgical root canal retreatment and predictable instrument fragment removal with minimal complications and long-term results!

Two intensive days of theory and practice await you.

During the theoretical part of the course, you will learn:

— Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for non-surgical retreatment
— Effective and safe techniques for removing gutta-percha and bacterial biofilms from root canals
— Methods to prevent and bypass ledges in canals using predictable and practical approaches
— Innovative approaches to root canal obturation using MTA.

The practical part of the course will allow you to:

— Develop skills for precise and safe removal of instrument fragments using modern techniques and specialized equipment
— Learn to manage complications such as ledges and perforations, significantly improving treatment prognosis
— Gain confidence in applying comprehensive retreatment protocols aimed at long-term success and tooth preservation.

This course is a unique opportunity to master advanced techniques and significantly elevate the quality of your endodontic practice!

- Where do biofilms typically form?
 

— Removal of gutta-percha and biofilms:
 

- Why is it necessary to remove gutta-percha during retreatment?
- What is the most effective method for removing filling material?
 

— Managing ledged canals:
 

- How to prevent ledge formation?
- Which techniques allow predictable and effective bypassing of ledges?
 

— Predictable and minimally invasive instrument removal:
 

- Practitioner preparation
- Diagnosis and treatment planning for broken instrument removal
- Key concepts of broken file removal (BFR)
