Two-day intensive masterclass at ICLO (Verona) offering advanced clinicians primarily hands-on cadaver training in endodontic microsurgery.
In recent years, advancements in endodontic equipment, biomaterials, and CBCT imaging — coupled with enhanced visibility through operating microscopes — have drastically increased the success rates and predictability of endodontic microsurgery. Micro instruments, ultrasonic tips, and new root-end filling materials have dramatically raised success rates to over 90%.
This advanced refinement course combines focused theoretical sessions with clinical demonstration and extensive cadaver-based practical work under expert guidance from Prof. Fabio Gorni, Dr. Giuseppe Carrieri, and Dr. Konstantinos Kalogeropoulos. Following the Style Italiano Endodontics approach: teachable, feasible and repeatable.
⚠️ PREREQUISITE: Participants must have solid knowledge and prior clinical experience in endodontic surgery. This course is not suitable for beginners.
