Complex cases in Endodontics. Original program created by Michael Solomonov
Course overview
A unique opportunity to learn ONLINE numerous original protocols developed by Michael Solomonov for performing effective and successful endodontic treatment in complex cases: management of the canals with broken instruments, C-shaped canals and MB2 and many other clinical situations.
