Inside the course
Days one and two: plan, then open
Castellucci starts where most failures begin — diagnosis and planning — then shows how to design an access cavity that is easy to work through and free from typical errors.
Days three and four: shape and seal
Session three covers predictable cleaning and shaping with practical tips. Session four makes the biological case for thorough disinfection and complete obturation, reviewing filling materials and techniques with their limits.
Bonus sessions
A Q&A covers instrument choice, canal preparation, obturation and CBCT. The second bonus uses cases to show diagnostic pitfalls, vitality testing and his preference for endodontic surgery over extraction.
