OHI-S Evidence-Based Endodontics Complex Histo-analysis and Treatment Protocols

3 lessons + 1 free (6h 59min)

Scanning electron microscopy evaluation of root canal treatment – Advanced guidelines by Dr. David Jaramillo.

Microscopic analysis of mechanical preparation, different irrigation techniques, sealer penetration and interfacial adaptation to improve efficacy and endodontic treatment prognosis.

Within the course, you will learn about:

– Application and analysis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

– Histological anatomy of the root canal

– Diagnosis in endodontics

– Modern irrigation techniques

– Histological analysis of dentin-pulp complex

– Protocols for mechanical treatment and disinfection of root canals

– Intraoral sinus tract treatment.

The OHI‑S Evidence‑Based Endodontics: Complex Histo‑Analysis and Treatment Protocols course is best for endodontists, restorative dentists, and prosthodontists who want structured, training in advanced endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. It emphasizes histological understanding of pulp and periapical tissues, evidence‑based treatment protocols, and clinical application for complex cases.

Who Should Enroll
Endodontists managing complex root canal cases and retreatments requiring histological insight.
Restorative dentists & general practitioners performing endodontic therapy who want to strengthen evidence‑based decision‑making.
Prosthodontists integrating endodontic outcomes into comprehensive restorative plans.
Residents & fellows in endodontics or restorative dentistry seeking advanced training in histo‑analysis and treatment protocols.
Dental researchers & academics interested in histological perspectives on pulp and periapical pathology.
What You’ll Learn
Histological analysis: pulp and periapical tissue responses to disease and treatment.
Evidence‑based protocols: modern approaches to diagnosis, instrumentation, irrigation, and obturation.
Complex case management: retreatments, resorption, perforations, and challenging anatomy.
Clinical integration: applying histological insights to everyday endodontic decision‑making.
Case‑based lessons: real examples demonstrating histo‑analysis and treatment protocols in practice.
