AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectEndodontics
DescriptionWe will be joined by local Specialist Endodontist, David Langham, who will be taking us back to basics in an effort to demystify modern endodontic procedures. We will be discussing isolation, access, instrumentation, irrigation and obturation. David fully understands the pressures faced by NHS dentists. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. Everyone is very welcome, however this course may be particularly useful for those of us who lack confidence or experience in delivering endodontics in practice.
Additional information

This is not a hands on course, nor is it suitable for those wishing to extend their endodontic skills (no curved canals or fancy kit discussed on this course!).
