Endodontic & Periapical Surgery
Learn it. Practice it. Apply it with confidence.
This intensive, practice-driven course is designed for endodontists (with or without surgical experience), residents, and general dentists who want to step confidently into the world of endodontic microsurgery — guided, structured, and evidence-based.
If you’ve ever thought “I understand the theory, but I need real hands-on confidence”, this course is for you.
