Endodontic Seminars & Hands-On Courses

Live endodontic education delivers what structured online learning cannot: direct clinical observation, supervised technique practice, and real-time expert feedback on the procedural decisions that separate consistent endodontic outcomes from avoidable complications. This page lists upcoming endodontic seminars, congresses, conferences, and hands-on workshops from OHI-S — covering retreatment sequencing, non-surgical and surgical management of failed cases, MB2 and complex canal anatomy, microscope-assisted endodontics, broken instrument retrieval, perforation repair, MTA protocols, apical microsurgery, and advanced instrumentation technique. Events span multiple cities and clinical levels, from focused practical workshops for general dentists to advanced congresses for experienced endodontic clinicians.

Why In-Person Endodontic Training Matters

Some endodontic competencies develop more reliably through live instruction than through self-directed study. Watching an experienced clinician navigate a calcified canal under the microscope, or handle a broken file retrieval in real time, conveys procedural judgment that video demonstrations can only approximate. In a live seminar or workshop, the reasoning behind decisions — why this access angle, why this retrieval sequence, why surgical over non-surgical at this point — becomes visible and discussable in a way that pre-recorded content cannot replicate. Direct expert feedback, case discussion, and professional exchange accelerate calibration in a discipline where precision is rarely forgiving.

What Clinicians Can Practice and Improve

Hands-on endodontic workshops provide structured practice in the procedural areas where technique gaps have the most clinical consequence. These include microscope-assisted access cavity preparation, instrument navigation in curved and calcified canals, ultrasonic techniques for broken file management and retrograde cavity preparation, MTA placement protocols, perforation identification and repair sequencing, irrigant activation and obturation technique, and the step-by-step logic of apical microsurgery — from flap design through retrofill and wound closure. Attending clinicians work with instruments, magnification, and clinical materials under direct faculty supervision, allowing technique correction in the moment rather than through self-assessment after the fact.

Choosing the Right Format and Event

The right event depends on what you need to change in practice and how you learn best.

Seminars deliver focused scientific content — case analysis, protocol rationale, evidence review — suited to dentists who want to update clinical reasoning in retreatment, microsurgery, or specific diagnostic areas without a hands-on component. Congresses bring multiple faculty together around a broader endodontic theme, combining lectures, case presentations, and peer discussion — the most efficient format for broad clinical updates and professional networking. Hands-on workshops prioritize direct procedural practice under supervision and are most valuable when you have the conceptual foundation but need technique development in a specific area: broken file retrieval, microsurgical protocol, or perforation management, for example.

Beyond format, consider the clinical gap you're closing. Dentists who avoid retreatment cases or refer broken file complications routinely will benefit most from events focused on non-surgical retreatment technique. Clinicians adding microsurgery to their scope should prioritize surgical workshops with direct faculty contact. Smaller workshops offer more individual feedback; larger congresses offer broader coverage. Browse by topic, city, or faculty to find the event that fits your current clinical priority. ADA credits are available upon request on eligible events.
