Endodontics is a multi-step procedure. Reaching success in every step in the procedure will eventually lead to an ultimate success of endodontic treatments. However, challenges do exist in the basic procedures of endodontic treatment starting from the diagnosis and decision making passing through access, instrumentation till reaching obturation and do exist in the advanced procedures varying from Broken instrument removal , Perforation and MTA application and finally saving hopeless teeth. Through these integral steps, the operator must be aware about how to manage safely these challenges in order not to adversely affect the outcomes of treatment or encounter mishaps.
We will take you through this 3 days event covering all the challenges you may face as an endodontist and how to handle them safely and efficiently.
Day 1 – Thursday 17 Jan 2019
Challenges in Basic treatment procedures
The Challenge of Endodontic Diagnostic procedures
• Introductory speech
• The value of subjective findings in differential diagnosis
• The value of radiographic interpretation in Endodontic treatment planning
The Challenge of Endodontic Core Procedures
• Pain control strategies
• Treatment planning and emergency managements
• Traditional Vs. Modern Guidelines of access cavity preparations
The Challenge of Instrumentation
• Instrumentation Kinematics
• The Era of NiTi: from conventional to heat treatments
• A simple and smart approach for Radicular instrumentation
• Hybridization for Stress Free Endodontics
Learning objectives:
1. Solving the dilemma of clinical decision making.
2. Solving challenging radiographic presentations of certain difficult clinical endodontic cases
3. Getting acquainted with clinical solutions for adequate pain control
4. Anatomically based preparation and instrument selection
5. Proper selection of irrigation protocols
6. Getting familiar with bio active materials and recent Obturation techniques
Day 2 – Friday 18 Jan 2019
- The challenge of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures
Occasionally the young pulp of permanent developing teeth might become infected or necrotic due to carries or trauma. Depending on the magnitude of pulpal damage, different treatment modalities may exist such as direct pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexogenesis or apexification. The greater the pulpal damage to the developing permanent dentition, the more compromised the prognosis can be. Recently, regenerative endodontic procedures were introduced in order to improve the long-term prognosis of the compromised developing permanent teeth by re-establishment of a functional vital tissue that fosters continued root development and immune competency. A paradigm shift toward these biological-based approaches might benefit the young patients by improving the long-term survival of even otherwise hopeless teeth. The aim of this lecture is to describe the application of specific clinical regenerative endodontic protocols for the treatment of hopeless teeth in children and adults.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss the biological basis of regenerative endodontic procedures.
2. Apply specific clinical regenerative protocols for the treatment of compromised and hopeless teeth in children and adults.
3. Evaluate the regenerative treatment alternatives in the everyday clinical practice.
- The Challenge of managing broken instruments
The separation of endodontic instruments is a procedural accident that results in major treatment challenges and medico legal considerations in endodontics. With the advent of rotary nickel-titanium (Ni Ti) instrumentation the issue became extremely prominent. Extensive research has been conducted to understand the mechanism of instrument separation. This has led to changes in the manufacturing methods, instrument design and instrumentation protocols. Most recently, reciprocation is challenging rotary instrumentation in terms of speed and safety from file fracture.
Although the incidence of file breakage can be drastically decreased, it cannot yet be eliminated.
Irrespectively of the type of instruments used inside the root canal system, the prevention and management of breakage still remains a hot topic.
This lecture aims to review the most common preventive measures to avoid file breakage and to provide clinical tips and hints for the successful removal or bypassing of challenging broken file cases.
Learning objectives
1. Understand the mechanics of instrument failure
2. Review the most common preventive measures for this procedural mishap
3. Review the most common methods for broken instrument management
T- he challenge of MTA applications in clinical Endodontics
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a calcium silicate–based hydraulic cement that gained wide acceptance in dentistry since its introduction in the early 1990s. It was initially used as a root-end filling material but because of its good biological and physical properties is now used in a variety of clinical situations such as pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexogenesis, and apical barrier formation in teeth with open apices, repair of root perforations and as a biocompatible root canal filling material in challenging cases.
Despite the many advantages of MTA, handling characteristics have been identified as a potential drawback for the material. Demystifying the evolutionary applications of MTA material course seeks to overcome MTA handling difficulties during perforation repair, management of open apical foramina and root canal filling of pathologic deviations of the internal anatomy of human teeth.
Learning objectives
1. Understand compositional characteristics and hydration behavior of MTA material
2. Review leakage and biocompatibility patterns of MTA
3. Discuss challenging cases of MTA application through video case presentation
4. Take away tips and hints to use them in the everyday practice
