The Complete Obturation Course

It’s time to put the focus on obturation.

This intensive, heavily hands-on masterclass is built for clinicians who want to refine and expand their obturation skillset—particularly warm vertical obturation—and learn practical approaches for the complex scenarios you face in practice.

A dedicated online, on‑demand theory component is provided in advance, so you can arrive prepared and make the most of two days focused on practical skill development.

Why choose this course?

• Close supervision with two specialist endodontists in a small group, with a modern, honest and unbiased approach.
• A format designed to keep the emphasis on hands-on practicals, with time tailored to delegate needs within the course framework.
• Zeiss microscopes available to use.
• Premium Member access to Contemporaryendo.com for one month before and one month after your course registration date—supporting essential pre‑course viewing, plus access to 40+ videos.

What you’ll cover

You’ll work through a structured progression—from foundational techniques to advanced warm vertical applications.

Foundation and core protocols

• Cold lateral compaction: refine the basics for tougher cases.
• Warm vertical compaction: standard protocol.

Warm vertical in complex anatomy and defects

• Warm vertical compaction for oval-shaped canals.
• Hybrid technique for a large apex (“big but not so big apex”).
• Warm vertical compaction of an internal resorption defect.

Practical clinical scenarios

• Confluent canals (e.g., lower incisor): preparing and obturating two joining canals.
• Bifurcating canals (e.g., premolar): preparing and obturating when canals split.
• Open apex obturation with MTA/bioceramic putty.
• Lower molar with perforation: warm vertical obturation with simultaneous perforation repair.
• Final scenario: warm vertical compaction plus bioceramic putty/MTA repair of an internal/external resorptive defect.

Who it’s for

Dentists looking to up-skill in challenging obturation scenarios, strengthen their warm vertical workflow, and leave with practical techniques they can apply to complex cases.
