To Exo or not to Exo? With Professor Mahmoud Torabinejad

When non-surgical endodontic procedures fail, endodontic surgery is an alternative to extraction and placement of a partial denture, bridge or an implant. 

During the lecture, Professor Torabinejad will discuss when to retreat and when to perform surgical endodontics. Various types of endodontic surgeries, including their indications, will be discussed. Steps in minimal trauma apical micro surgery (MTAMS) using innovative and new techniques and materials including ap designs, ostectomy, root end resection, root end preparation, root end filling, suturing and post-operative instructions will be presented.
