Endodontic Retreatment Of Fabio Gorni

Category: Endodontics

Instructor(s): Fabio Gorni

Course structure: Lessons: 6 lessons | Duration: 7 h 03 min

Course overview

Endodontic retreatment according to Fabio Gorni protocols.
The lecturer will analyze 5 actual issues that endodontists face on a daily work:
1. Removal of metal and fiberglass posts from root canals;
2. Broken file management [remove, bypass or leave it?]
3. Removal of cement and guttapercha from root canals;
4.The use of MTA when closing perforations and open apex;
5. Non-surgical and surgical techniques for endodontic retreatment.
Our lecturer is the bright representative of the Italian school of endodontics and the founder of StyleItaliano Endodontics.
