Program

The Master is divided into theoretical and practical lessons, modulated to deepen clinical, biological, microbiological, diagnostic and instrumental concepts. These will be joined by seminars, congresses, exercises and clinical activities on patients, in-depth analysis of simple and complex clinical cases, for a total of 1500 hours. The theoretical and practical lessons also include partecipation of national and international speakers. The weekly departmental activity within the university dental clinic, at a non-obligatory frequency, will focus on the diagnostic procedures, on the planning of the endodontic and post-endodontic treatment of the patient, on clinical treatment with manual and rotating instruments, up to prosthetic rehabilitation. Endodontic surgery techniques, endodontic microscopy, prosthetic rehabilitation of the endodontically treated tooth, as well as pulp regeneration techniques and implant rehabilitation will be used. During the Master, it will be possible to choose and deepen a specific aspect of clinical endodontics (such as management and treatment of complex cases, NiTi instrumentation and endodontic surgery), or to follow / document complex endodontic clinical cases during a training period. On-going meetings and tests will allow students to evaluate progresses.

CLINICAL ENDODONTICS: LESSONS, SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS AND WEBINARS.

The Master is divided into theoretical lectures and practical lessons on mannequins ('Pininfarina Salon' mannequins hall) and an optional practice of internship in the Endodontic Department of the Patient Dental Clinic. The frequency of 80% of the theoretical lessons - webinar is required. There is no mandatory attendance for the internship in the department. For the STAGE activities in the department, arrangements will be made with the Head of Department. At the end of the program, the participant will be asked to present clinical cases and demonstrate a theoretical and, above all, practical knowledge of Endodontics.
