SESSION 1:
MANAGEMENT OF COMPLEX CASES IN DAILY ENDODONTIC PRACTICE
Managing complex cases in daily endodontic practice presents significant challenges that necessitate the use of advanced diagnostic tools, clinical expertise, and tailored treatment strategies. This presentation explores the comprehensive approach required to effectively address complex endodontic cases, including those involving calcified canals, severe curvatures, retreatments, and cracked teeth. Emphasis is placed on the importance of accurate diagnosis and the adoption of minimally invasive instrumentation techniques. Additionally, the role of contemporary irrigation technologies, such as laser-activated irrigation will be examined for their potential to improve clinical outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Implement a patient-centered approach in managing complex endodontic cases
- Better diagnose and predict the treatment outcomes of cracked teeth
- Integrate contemporary techniques in an evidence-based approach
SESSION 2:
WHEN TO GRAFT?: GUIDELINES TO GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION IN ENDODONTIC SURGERY
The success rate of endodontic surgery has shown significant improvement over the past two decades. Many clinicians today started to integrate guided tissue regeneration approaches by through the use of bone-substitutes and resorbable membranes. Emerging questions that are raised by clinician are; when should I place a bone graft? Which graft material I should use? Do I always need to place a membrane with bone grafts? And will my patient benefit or be affected by presence or absence of a graft material?
In this course, we will attempt to answer all these questions based on the most recent research findings. We will discuss the impact of guided tissue regeneration on bone remodeling and present clinical guidelines that can help clinicians make better decisions on when and how guided tissue regeneration should be applied.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the best evidence available regarding Endodontic microsurgery
- List reasons for using guided tissue regeneration techniques in endodontic surgery
- Outline the scenarios where guided tissue regeneration is essential for better bone remodeling
- Discuss when graft material and resorbable membranes can be used separately or in combination
* Tuition includes coffee and pastry break with an opportunity to network with peers at 10:00 – 10:30 am.
