Course Review

Dr Caldwell has changed the way I approach endodontics and has given me much more confidence in this area of dentistry.

The training course was full of both hands-on clinical workshop time and mini lectures.

The lectures explained, why and how we perform a root canal. Going into details of diagnosis, the different tests and how to interpret those results. This was followed by clinical scenarios with images and test results ready for us to interpret.

We tackled cracks, pain management, instrumentation, use of apex locators and so much more in just 2 days.

What I found extremely valuable and apply to every extirpation, is how to create a safe and efficient access cavity. Pat provided us with a step by step outline which was great because we applied it straight away in front of Pat in the hands on workshop.

Pat also introduced us to the correct sequencing to instrument our canals to ensure correct working length, minimal ledges, minimal risk of perforations and file breakages.

Overall I find my skills have improved and my confidence has grown due to this course!
