Course Overview

The Advanced Clinical Micro-Endodontic Fellowship Programme is a 6-month, module-based intensive training programme designed for dentists seeking mastery in modern endodontics under magnification.

The fellowship blends didactic learning, microscope-based hands-on training, self-paced pre-clinical and clinical exercises, and contemporary biomimetic and regenerative concepts.

The programme is delivered over structured working days, allowing participants to continue clinical practice while completing advanced exercises over defined intervals.

• Duration: 6 months.
• Total working days: 18 days.
• Modules: 3.
• Training mode: on-site intensive weekends with guided completion of exercises on assigned days.
• Magnification: Dental Operating Microscopes and Loupes.

Achievement

Assessment and Certification

Final assessment includes:

• Clinical logbook evaluation.
• Theory examination: MCQs.
• Final case presentation evaluated by an internal examiner.

Successful fellows will be awarded the Certificate in Advanced Clinical Micro-Endodontics, recognising competence in microscope-assisted and biomimetic endodontic practice.
