Upcoming Courses
Dental photography - from clinical documentation to professional visual content
Basic course information
The training is structured over two consecutive days - the first day is focused on the basics and standardized protocols in clinical dental photography, and the second day is dedicated to advanced techniques: studio, portrait, object and art dental photography. Participants work with real equipment, accessories and lighting, receiving individual guidance and feedback.
The course format includes theory, demonstrations, and hands-on practice.
What participants will learn
During the course participants will learn:
- The basic technical principles of dental photography and working in Manual mode;
- Correct selection and use of cameras, lenses, flashes and accessories;
- Creation of standardized extraoral and intraoral clinical photographs;
- Control of light, reflections, angle and composition in clinical and specialized shots;
- Working in a studio environment and building different lighting setups;
- Portrait photography – styles, posing, lighting and expression;
- Object and art dental photography with a focus on detail, texture and form;
- Image analysis and real-time adjustments under the guidance of the lecturer.
Benefits for participants
After completing the course participants will be able to:
- Independently create high-quality and consistent clinical documentation;
- Improve communication with patients and dental laboratories through visual materials;
- Use photography as an effective tool for diagnosis, monitoring and case presentation;
- Build professional visual content for training, lectures and online presence;
- Apply what they have learned directly in their daily clinical practice.
Endodontics - From Basics to Expert
Endodontics Modular Program with Dr. Kosturkov — 6 modules, one goal: from fundamentals to expert level. This intensive program in endodontics combines theory, hands-on practice and motivation to guide participants from their first steps to clinical mastery. In an era of advancing microscopy, 3D printing and increasingly complex cases, this training gives clinicians the up-to-date skills needed to deliver predictable, high-quality endodontic care.
Who should attend: general dentists, endodontists, restorative specialists, dental residents and clinic owners who want to strengthen their endodontic practice. The program is designed for clinicians at all levels — from those building foundational skills to practitioners seeking advanced, clinic-ready techniques.
What participants will gain: a complete, clinically focused endodontic workflow — from diagnosis and microscope use to canal shaping, disinfection and obturation, as well as retreatment and management of complications such as separated instruments, perforations and resorptions. The course emphasizes live demonstrations and extensive hands-on practice on realistic 3D-printed models and extracted teeth to build precision and confidence for everyday practice.
- Develop precise microscope-assisted technique and fine motor control.
- Learn contemporary protocols for canal preparation, disinfection and obturation.
- Gain real-case experience and strategies for managing complex and retreatment cases.
Led by Dr. Kosturkov, the master program centers on practical training and real clinical cases, with live demos and guided hands-on sessions to ensure measurable skill development. Reserve your place to advance your endodontic competence and confidence.
