Small teeth, big challenges
🎯 Training objective
- The aim of the training is to comprehensively prepare dentists for the diagnosis and treatment of primary tooth pulp, taking into account both the theoretical foundations and the practical skills necessary in everyday work with young patients.
- Participants will gain knowledge and techniques enabling effective diagnosis of pulp disease states, proper treatment planning, as well as safe and effective performance of procedures such as indirect capping, vital amputation, and endodontic treatment of primary teeth using modern materials and rotary instruments.
- The training also places great emphasis on the psychological aspects of working with the child and parent, the use of sedation and anesthesia, as well as practical training in placing a rubber dam and performing safe exodontia of primary teeth.
- The aim is to increase the diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness of participants and to prepare them to independently and confidently perform endodontic procedures in pediatric dentistry.
👩⚕️ Who is the training for?
- The training is for dentists interested in expanding their knowledge and improving practical skills in the diagnosis and endodontic treatment of primary teeth in pediatric patients.
