The Premise:

Most endo courses stop at the root filling. The tooth's survival depends on the restorative decisions too.

Negotiating a ledged canal, a superb irrigation protocol or a fancy obturation system are excellent skills to have — but they mean little if the root filled tooth doesn't last very long.

We teach the whole thing, from the first decision to the final restoration.

  • Pick the right cases

  • Deliver excellent treatment for your patients

  • Choose the right restorative approach

  • Build your skills along the way

Designed and delivered by Contemporary Endodontics and Incidental Training — teams with more than a decade of hands-on, scenario-based teaching behind them.

The collaboration:

Jon and Luca of Contemporary Endodontics are widely regarded as two of the finest endodontic specialists and teachers in the UK and internationally. Incidental Training has built the same reputation in restorative dentistry, running sold-out hands-on courses from its Newcastle teaching facility.

This is our first training course together, but not our first collaboration — we have worked together on projects for several years, and launched a joint typodont range in 2026. Both came from the same instinct: that hands-on endodontic teaching should be better than it is.

Who is this course for?

You should consider this course if:

  • You want to comprehensively build your endodontic clinical skills and decision making taught by genuinely expert and experienced clinicians

  • You take referrals — or want to — and need your endodontics and your restorative thinking to integrate

  • You learn by doing, and you want the opportunity to learn in a collaborative problem solving environment.

The Shape of the Course

  • 8 in-person days — four modules in two-day blocks (Thursday and Friday).

  • One year of contemporaryendo.com — on-demand access to support your learning before, during and after

  • State-of-the-art clinical simulation — the programme will be taught in our bespoke training centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. Delegates will have the opportunity to train with microscopes, natural teeth in specially designed simulators and bespoke typodont scenarios we have designed and manufactured and that you will not find anywhere else.

  • Multi-speaker format with limited group size for optimum 1-to-1 coaching.

  • This 8-day course is associated with 56 hours verifiable CPD.

  • Price £6,500 inc VAT. Early bird fee £6,000, available until end October 2026.

  • Module 3 speakers: Colin McGuirk, Oliver Bailey, Will Holme, Chris O’Connor

  • Module 4 speakers: Jon Cowie, Luca Moranzoni, Will Holme, Chris O’Connor

  • Module 1: 4th-5th Feb 2027 — Fundamentals of Endodontics

    The foundation everything else sits on. We go back to first principles — case assessment, prognosis, restorability — and forward to the techniques that are the cornerstone of modern restorative endodontics. Hands-on the whole way through.

    • Case assessment and prognosis

    • Restorability — the decision that should come first

    • Access — modern principles

    • Canal shaping — the principles, then the systems (multiple instrument systems explored hands-on)

    • Irrigation protocols that can move you towards single-visit endodontic treatment

    • Fundamentals of obturation, including warm vertical compaction

  • Module 2: 4th-5th March 2027 — Building Complexity

    The canals that make endodontics hard. We work through calcified, ledged and curved canals; anatomically driven preparation; and the obturation scenarios that catch most clinicians out.

    • Managing the calcified canal

    • Managing the ledged canal

    • The curved and S-shaped canal

    • Anatomically driven preparation — choose the approach that suits the canal

    • Complex obturation: oval canals, confluent canals, bifurcating canals, internal resorption defects

    • Managing the open apex — collagen barrier and hydraulic putty technique

  • Module 3: 15th-16th April 2027 — Restorative Integration

    These two days take a comprehensive look at both the decision making process and clinical technique for both pre-endodontic and post-endodontic restorative management.

    • Pre-endodontic isolation and build-ups — from simple to advanced

    • Deep margin elevation

    • Matrix selection

    • Fibre and titanium post placement

    • Short fibre composites

    • Onlays, crowns and vertipreps

    • Provisional restorations

  • Module 4: 13th-14th May 2027 — Endodontic Re-treatment

    Learn the techniques to make excellent yet quick decisions to ensure you pick the cases that are winners — and the techniques to efficiently re-treat most cases.

    • GP removal — multiple techniques

    • Thermafil removal — multiple techniques

    • Metal post removal

    • Fibre post removal

    • Two simulated cases, end to end. Full workflow on a complex case, recapping every skill taught across the course.
