Endodontic Surgical Anatomy. 1.5 Credit Hour

Catalog description

This course consists of a series of four four-hour seminar sessions devoted to an in-depth discussion of endodontic surgical anatomy, surgical indications and techniques, and wound healing. This is followed by twenty hours of laboratory during which students practice actual surgical procedures on anterior, premolar and molar teeth in teeth mounted on manikins using contemporary endodontic microsurgery techniques. Emphasis is given to the correct use of the surgical microscope for these procedures and adequate management of soft and hard tissues.
