How to remove a broken file with minimum dentin loss
BTR Pen Course
26th and 27th of January 2022
Hands on Course
When the clinician faces intracanal separated instrument, the most important concern is removal of this obstruction in order to be able to disinfect, shape and seal the root canal system. However, this procedure should be carried out conservatively without losing much dentin from the root, otherwise the tooth survival would be compromised. This workshop is designed to share the speakers’ perspective on management of broken instruments using a predictable and minimally invasive approach.
There are only 16 seats available for this course.
