• Overview of sterilization and infection control protocols in endodontics

• Understanding root canal anatomy

• How to assess restorability and prepare access cavities

• Understanding of conservative access cavity preparation

• Special diagnostic tests and aids

• Importance of identifying anatomical variations (e.g., curved canals, accessory canals)

4. Working Length Determination and Chemo-Mechanical Preparation and Disinfection

• Principles of canal irrigation for cleaning and disinfection

• Determining working length using apex locators

 
Afternoon Session (Practical)

1. Rubber Dam Placement & Isolation

• Hands-on practice placing a rubber dam on models or extracted teeth

• Participants will isolate a tooth and prepare it for treatment

2. Access Cavity Preparation

• Practical session where participants will practice opening access cavities on extracted teeth

• Focus on the correct design and location of the access, considering the tooth’s anatomy

3. Canal Preparation

• Practical demonstration of cleaning the canal system to achieve optimal disinfection

5. Obturation Techniques

• Hands-on obturation practice using cold lateral condensation and warm vertical techniques

• Participants will fill the prepared canal with gutta percha, ensuring an appropriate seal and adequate compaction

6. Emergency Pain Control & Post-Operative Management

• Clinical scenarios of endodontic emergencies and management

7. The Importance of Magnification in Endodontics

• Introduction to the use of a dental microscope and loupes for improving visibility during root canal therapy

• Hands-on practice with the microscope to assist in access cavity preparation and canal shaping
