The participants were guided through the rotary protocol through demonstrations and hands-on courses, which were held in the cutting-edge Virtual Reality and Simulation Academy (VIRSA) Lab, and the course was sponsored by Coltene India. 

The program offered a comprehensive curriculum, including the fundamentals of rotary endodontics, rubber dam isolation, recent advances in access opening, and the basics of rotary instruments. Participants received hands-on training with endomotors and apex locators, followed by obturation exercises. The program concluded with a live demonstration of intraoral scanning in a patient, highlighting CAD CAM (Computer-aided Designing, Computer-aided Manufacturing) crown designing and fabrication.
