This specialized course has been developed with the Endodontist in mind.

Implant dentistry has evolved to a point where it is not just mainstay but inevitable as far as predictability. Where endo teeth fail and the success rates are lower in some cases, the evolution into a more predictable treatment modality for some of these cases is with Implant Dentistry.

Gain the knowledge to take implants into your referral endodontic practice while assisting your referral base with proper case design and treatment planning.
