10 Day Endodontic Programme (London)

Make endodontics more predictable, enjoyable and cost effective—with a part‑time, in‑person programme built for busy dentists who want real clinical confidence, not just theory.

Delivered in London with hands‑on sessions every day, this 10‑day foundation programme is simplyendo’s starting point for clinicians who want to strengthen core endodontic decision‑making and treatment skills, and (if desired) progress into their wider postgraduate pathway.

Why dentists choose this programme

Part‑time structure that fits practice life

• Ten full‑day sessions delivered as two or three consecutive days per month over approximately four months.

Practical, skills-first learning (50:50)

• Approximately 50% teaching / 50% hands‑on training.
• Techniques demonstrated live and supported with video, then practised by delegates with tutor feedback.
• Designed to let you trial a broad range of contemporary preparation and obturation systems used in the UK, supporting an unbiased view of different approaches.

Verifiable CPD you can rely on

• Complies with GDC requirements for verifiable e‑CPD and provides 70 hours.

What you’ll learn (clinically relevant from day one)

Across the programme you’ll build a clear, evidence‑based workflow covering:

• Diagnosis and case planning

  • Diagnostic procedures, radiographic interpretation (including limitations and future trends)
  • Managing non‑odontogenic pain and medically‑compromised patients
  • Prognosis and treatment planning with predictable objectives

• Access, shaping and cleaning

  • Accessing the canal system: the why and the how
  • Balanced force hand filing and when hand files still matter
  • Glide path management (hand vs automated) and how to reduce separation risk
  • Rotary vs reciprocating instrumentation and appropriate protocols
  • Working length and apical management using apex locators and radiographic methods
  • Irrigation strategies and activation—reinforcing the principle that files shape, irrigants clean

• Obturation and seal

  • Comparing thermal/heated obturation systems with single‑cone techniques
  • Sealers and controlled placement to minimise extrusion
  • Interappointment medicaments and practical decision making

• Retreatment and managing complications

  • Endodontic retreatment strategies, including dismantling obturated canals
  • Managing procedural challenges: ledges, perforations, blocked canals and separated files
  • Practical experience in dismantling restored teeth and removal of posts and canal obstructions

• Restoration of endodontically treated teeth

  • Temporisation, coronal seal and cuspal protection
  • Planning the coronal restoration before commencing endodontic treatment (“start with the end in mind”)

• Trauma, resorption and medico‑legal considerations

  • Trauma: immediate and long‑term management
  • Internal/external resorption and contemporary repair concepts
  • Consent and medico‑legal issues in endodontic diagnosis and treatment

A foundation you can build on

This programme is positioned as the starting point within simplyendo’s education pathway. simplyendo is an approved academic partner of the University of Chester, and delegates who wish to progress can use the 10‑day programme as a foundation for further formal study (delivered from simplyendo’s Formby education centre).

Who it’s for

• General dental practitioners who want a structured, hands‑on endodontic foundation
• Clinicians looking to improve predictability in cleaning, shaping and obturation
• Dentists who want practical exposure to modern instrumentation and retreatment/complication management in a supportive learning environment
