Training, mentoring and clinical collaboration
In addition to clinical support in resolving complex endodontic cases, training and clinical mentoring activities are available for fellow dentists, based on real clinical practice, case discussions, and continuous scientific updates.
A clinical partner,
not a substitute
The clinical support provided is designed as an extension of the referring colleague's practice. The intervention focuses exclusively on the identified endodontic problem, ensuring rigorous technical monitoring, continuous communication, and referral of the patient to the original clinic for continuation of the treatment plan.
This approach allows the colleague to maintain overall control of the treatment, while simultaneously ensuring the proper resolution of situations requiring specialized endodontic intervention.
Situations in which referral is recommended.
Referral is indicated whenever the clinical case presents a degree of technical complexity that benefits from operating microscopy, specific expertise, or advanced support in therapeutic decision-making, namely:
-
Endodontic retreatment;
-
Fractured instruments;
-
Complex root anatomy;
-
Extensive periapical lesions;
-
Internal or external reabsorption;
-
Cases with a history of endodontic failure;
-
Need for advanced differential diagnosis;
Clinical Referral Process
The referral process was structured to be simple, transparent, and geared towards effective communication between colleagues.
1
Clinical case submission
Completion of the referral form with relevant clinical information and submission of supplementary examinations (X-rays, CBCT, CT scan).
2
Diagnostic assessment
Analysis of the clinical case and definition of the most appropriate endodontic approach, based on the diagnosis and prognosis.
3
Communication and clinical intervention
Communication with the referring colleague and performance of the indicated endodontic treatment.
4
Patient return
Return of the patient to the originating clinic, accompanied by detailed clinical information for the continuation of the treatment plan.
Clinical Referral Form
This form is for referrals of endodontic cases by fellow dentists. The clinical information submitted will allow for a proper case assessment and effective communication between peers.
