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

This fellowship uniquely blends:

• Didactic excellence
• Microscope-based hands-on training
• Self-paced pre-clinical & clinical exercises
• Contemporary biomimetic and regenerative concepts

The programme is delivered over 20 structured working days, allowing participants to continue clinical practice while completing advanced exercises over defined intervals.
