Five endodontic masters, five focused topics — working length, glide path, fibre posts, vital pulp therapy and file retrieval
Each of the five modules in Endodontics in Focus: Expert Perspectives belongs to one specialist: Arnaldo Castellucci on working length, Gilberto Debelian on minimal access and glide path, Talal Al-Nahlawi on fibre posts, Domenico Ricucci on vital pulp therapy in deep caries, and Yoshi Terauchi on ultrasonic removal of separated instruments. The 27 episodes add up to 9 h 25 min and every module closes with a Q&A.

What you’ll be able to do
- Set an apical termination point and choose between tactile, radiographic and electronic methods
- Size a minimally invasive access cavity and scout canals safely
- Establish a predictable glide path by hand or with rotary files
- Decide when to retreat and how to remove a fibre post without complications
- Choose between direct pulp capping and partial pulpotomy in deep carious teeth
- Loosen and retrieve a broken file with ultrasonic and non-ultrasonic approaches
Inside the course
Shaping the canal from access to apex
Castellucci questions the cementodentinal junction, the radiographic apex and apical patency, and whether overfilling really causes failure. Debelian follows with access size, locating orifices and building a reproducible glide path.
Restorative and biological decisions
Al-Nahlawi covers daily fibre post use, when to retreat first, his removal technique and cases from simple to difficult. Ricucci, who runs his own histology laboratory, explains how to judge whether pulp inflammation is reversible and challenges the idea of selective excavation.
Recovering separated instruments
Terauchi, developer of a well-known file retrieval kit, walks through preparation, why a fragment will not vibrate loose, two sessions of ultrasonic attempts and non-ultrasonic alternatives.

Curriculum
Arnaldo Castellucci. Working length (2 h 34 min) 5 episodes
- Which is the ideal termination of root canal preparation and obturation? Suggestions and guidelines for predictable outcomes
- Cementodentinal junction? How far from the Radiographic Apex? The apical constriction Radiographic Terminus?
- Which method should we use: tactile, radiographic, electronic, consistent drying point? “Apex locators” or “Foramen locators”?
- What about apical patency? Could overfilling cause an endodontic failure?
- Q&A session
Gilberto Debelian. Minimally invasive access cavity, scouting and glide path (1 h 25 min) 5 episodes
- Minimally invasive access cavity – how small and how large an access cavity should be? Clinical strategies to choose the best access cavity for your case.
- How to find and prepare the canal orifices before scouting.
- Scouting the root canal with manual and/or mechanical approaches. Instruments and techniques.
- How to predictably establish a glide-path.

Before you buy
Do the five modules build on one another?
No — each is a self-contained mini-course by one expert, so they can be watched in any order.
How much of each module is question-and-answer?
Every module ends with one Q&A episode, which counts toward the 27 episodes.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
