The morning session will focus on cutting-edge concepts, including root canal anatomy, advanced imaging interpretation, minimally invasive access cavity design and the latest developments in cleaning, shaping and obturation procedures. In the afternoon, participants will translate theory into practice through guided hands-on experiences designed to enhance clinical skills using extracted teeth on surgical models, plastic blocks and modern endodontic tools. This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and hands-on experience essential for achieving improved clinical endodontic outcomes with greater efficiency and effectiveness.You Will LearnTo identify the clinical significance of root canal anatomy and effectively interpret radiographs and CBCT scans in endodonticsTo apply the principles of minimally invasive access cavity design to optimize patient outcomesTo compare and contrast the latest kinematic developments in rotary and reciprocation systems for shaping canalsTo utilize advanced activation systems to enhance disinfection protocolsTo perform obturation using bioceramic sealers and the single cone technique with confidenceTo practice access cavity preparation with precision using ultrasonics, burs and magnification toolsTo safely shape root canals on plastic blocks and extracted teeth using rotary filesTo execute obturation techniques with a single cone approach in hands-on clinical scenariosWho Should AttendThis hands-on workshop is designed for dental practitioners seeking to expand their skills in endodontic treatment.Participants must bring at least three teeth that have not been accessed to the workshop, including at least one molar and one premolar. Registrants are strongly encouraged to bring their loupes and a light source for the workshop.PresenterWalid Nehme, DDS, MSc, PhD, is an experienced and accomplished dental professional with more than 30 years of expertise in endodontic education, research and clinical practice. He is currently a full-time faculty member at the Dugoni School of Dentistry. With a DDS, Master of Endodontics, Master of Molecular Biology and a PhD, Dr. Nehme has published numerous scientific articles, holds patents for endodontic devices and is a key opinion leader in clinical trials for endodontic manufacturers.
