Non-Surgical Root Canal Retreatment: Hands-on Workshop by Yoshi Terauchi

Hands-on course with Yoshi Terauchi — your key to successful non-surgical root canal retreatment and predictable instrument fragment removal with minimal complications and long-term results!

Two intensive days of theory and practice await you.

During the theoretical part of the course, you will learn:

— Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for non-surgical retreatment
— Effective and safe techniques for removing gutta-percha and bacterial biofilms from root canals
— Methods to prevent and bypass ledges in canals using predictable and practical approaches
— Innovative approaches to root canal obturation using MTA.

The practical part of the course will allow you to:

— Develop skills for precise and safe removal of instrument fragments using modern techniques and specialized equipment
— Learn to manage complications such as ledges and perforations, significantly improving treatment prognosis
— Gain confidence in applying comprehensive retreatment protocols aimed at long-term success and tooth preservation.

This course is a unique opportunity to master advanced techniques and significantly elevate the quality of your endodontic practice!

Day 1 (July 30)

Theory

Course aim: to enhance participants' knowledge and clinical decision-making skills in non-surgical root canal retreatment and provide a structured approach to the predictable and minimally invasive management of challenging endodontic retreatment cases.

Learning objectives: 

— Apply a systematic approach to the diagnosis and treatment planning of non-surgical retreatment cases
— Identify the biological and clinical factors contributing to persistent endodontic disease and treatment failure
— Evaluate and select appropriate techniques for the removal of gutta-percha and biofilms during retreatment
— Apply predictable techniques for the prevention and management of ledged canals
— Assess separated instrument cases and select appropriate strategies for safe and minimally invasive instrument removal
— Recognise the indications, clinical properties and limitations of MTA in retreatment and perforation repair
— Apply evidence-based principles to the management of challenging endodontic retreatment cases.
