Molar endodontic surgery is often considered as a lengthy and complex procedure.
Some of the limiting factors are the restricted access, the lack of visibility and the complex anatomy of the molar roots and the surrounding tissues.
However, if all the fundamental principles of the endodontic surgery are carefully observed, the procedure becomes reliable, and can be predictably performed in less than an hour.
The presentation will focus on the armamentarium , the ergonomics and the working positions.
The maxillary and mandibular molar surgery protocol will be addressed in details.
Specific clinical tips will be described for every step of the procedure.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the specificity of molar endodontic surgery
Discuss the importance of a careful surgical planning to avoid time consuming unexpected complications
Implement clinical tips to be able to perform predictably molar endodontic surgery in less than an hour
