Join Dr. Sanket Meher on 18th September, 3 pm onwards, for the weekly #Dent-E-ssentials webinar to gain insights into the effects on the microhardness of root-end fillings. Session highlights: Apicoectomy procedure—Pros and Cons Prognosis of periapical surgery using bone grafts Regenerative therapy as an adjunct to…
