  4. Cambridge Section: Choosing wisely - navigating endodontic case selection

IN-PERSON EVENT, hosted by Cambridge Section

What to expect

Successful endodontic outcomes depend not only on technical skill, but on selecting the right case and making sound clinical decisions from the outset. This clinically focused lecture will examine the practical decision-making process behind endodontic treatment planning, with emphasis on case complexity, risk assessment, and prognosis.

The aim of the lecture is to strengthen clinical decision-making in endodontics by exploring how clinicians can assess case complexity and plan treatment predictably.
