Advanced Clinical Micro-Endodontic Fellowship Programme
Advanced Clinical Micro-Endodontic Fellowship Programme
Course Details
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.
