Add to Calendar 2025-10-25 09:00:00 2025-10-26 17:00:00 Beyond Apical Surgery: Management of Complex Microsurgical Procedures This immersive two-day workshop is designed to equip endodontists with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform advanced endodontic surgical procedures. The hands-on program will primarily focus on complex molar surgeries, particularly those involving difficult-to-access areas. We will discuss key elements to consider when planning such cases including the use of piezosurgery, creating bony windows, managing nerves and sinus involvement.The program also covers decision-making and surgical techniques for managing a variety of complex clinical scenarios, including root amputations, intentional replantation, auto-transplantation and the surgical management of cervical root resorption.You will gain hands-on experience using piezoelectric surgical units to create bony windows on 3D surgical models. You will train on sinus lift procedures using models that closely replicate clinical conditions. All procedures will be performed under a surgical operating microscope with appropriate surgical armamentarium.You Will LearnTo identify key anatomical and clinical considerations in planning complex endodontic surgical procedures, including nerve proximity and sinus involvementTo demonstrate the use of piezoelectric surgical units to create bony windows and perform minimally invasive access to complex molar sites on 3D surgical modelsTo perform simulated sinus lift procedures using clinical models that replicate real-world conditions under surgical magnificationTo evaluate appropriate case selection and decision-making protocols for advanced surgical procedures such as root amputation, intentional replantation, auto-transplantation and cervical root resorption managementTo utilize a surgical microscope and instruments to execute precise endodontic surgical techniques with optimal visualization and ergonomicsWho Should AttendThis hands-on workshop is specifically designed for endodontists seeking training in complex microsurgical procedures.Early Bird Tuition: $2,995 (for registrations received by September 25)Regular Tuition: $3,295Program: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm each dayLocation: Arthur A.
