Endodontic applications of bioceramics

Calcium silicate materials (bioceramics) can be highly useful in endodontics—but consistent results rely on choosing the right product for the right indication and mastering handling in realistic clinical situations. This one-day EndoArt short course combines focused teaching with extensive hands-on training to help you build confidence in selection and use of commercially available bioceramic materials.

What you’ll gain

• A clear understanding of the setting reaction and biological basis behind calcium silicate materials
• Practical guidance on when bioceramics may be beneficial in day-to-day endodontic scenarios
• Hands-on experience to refine technique, decision-making, and material handling—so you can apply learning directly to clinical practice

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

• Explain the biological benefits of calcium silicate materials in endodontics
• Devise a decision-making strategy for selecting and using these materials
• Appraise handling and performance across different clinical scenarios
• Appraise their use in microsurgical endodontics, including root-end filling and repair indications

Hands-on training with simulated scenarios

A core feature of this course is practical work with a selection of calcium silicate products using 3D-printed teeth, including:

• Use as a ‘regular’ root filling material
• Management of open/wide apices
• Perforation repair
• Management of internal resorption defects
• Consideration of microsurgical endodontic applications (e.g., root-end filling and repair scenarios)

Course experience (EndoArt short-course approach)

EndoArt short courses are designed to be hands-on and clinically focused, and typically include:

• Small group teaching
• A microscope per delegate
• All equipment and materials provided
• Lunch and refreshments provided

CPD

• 5 hours verifiable CPD
• GDC Development Outcomes: C and D
