Course Aims
DAY 1 - To understand the rational behind micro surgical retreatment approaches and acquire basic surgical knowledge.

DAY 2 - To understand the importance of magnification in endodontic microsurgery and acquire basic microsurgical skills.

Course Objectives
DAY 1 - By the end of the course delegates will understand:

• Outcomes of endodontic microsurgery vs traditional apicectomy.
• The science behind effective local anaesthesia in endodontic microsurgery.
• The use of a dental operating microscope in endodontic microsurgery.
• Flap design and tissue handling to improve post-surgical healing.
• How to effectively prepare an osteotomy.
• Correct methods of ultrasonic root-end preparation and how to identify anatomical markers.
• Which equipment is appropriate for use in micro-surgical techniques.
• Effective suturing and postoperative care including analgesia.

DAY 2 - By the endo of the course delegates will have:

• Been calibrated to a dental operating microscope.
• Have identified cases where surgical intervention is appropriate.
• Have raised a flap with microsurgical instruments.
• Created an osteotomy and identified anatomical markers.
• Performed root end resection and retrograde preparation of the root canal space.
• Performed microsurgical suturing.
• Developed a post-operative care strategy to minimize complications and improve healing.
