19.03.2026 - 13:00-16:30 WORKSHOP - Removal of separated instruments - The Platformless Technique

This exclusive session focuses on one of the most challenging clinical scenarios: the management and removal of separated instruments.
Participants will learn The Platformless Technique—a minimally invasive, anatomy-respectful approach designed to maximize success while preserving dentin.

• Understanding the causes & classifications of instrument separation
• How to assess the case and choose the safest strategy
• The Platformless Technique step by step
• Microscope-assisted strategies & ergonomics
• Ultrasonic refinement methods
• How to avoid iatrogenic errors during retrieval
• Decision-making: remove, bypass, or leave in place

Each participant will work directly on extracted teeth to practice:
✔ Locating separated instruments
✔ Creating precise micro-access
✔ Applying the Platformless Technique
✔ Controlled ultrasonic usage
✔ Dentin-preserving retrieval maneuvers

Separated instruments can turn a routine case into a clinical nightmare.
After this workshop, participants will leave with a predictable workflow, upgraded confidence, and strategies can be applied immediately in their practice.
