Description: The presentation will focus on endodontic surgery and its peculiarities. It will begin with a brief introduction and a simple step-by-step clinical case. Then various clinical cases will be shown in which the endodontic lesion will be in contact with or within the sinus. This will be followed by a brief description of how to manage clinical cases near the alveolar nerve, and finally the periodontal part and its importance in endodontic surgery will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Manage modern endodontic surgery.
- Manage endodontic survey involving maxillary sinus.
- Manage periodontal approach to modern endodontic surgery.

Description: Computer Guided Endodontic Solutions for Complex Cases. With the introduction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), intra-oral scanning, 3D planning software, 3D printers and computer aided dynamic navigation devices, It is possible to plan ahead, in a very precise, predictable, more conservative way computer aided procedures with lower clinical times for high difficulty cases, such as, severely calcified canals, endodontic microsurgery of cases with intact cortical bone close to important anatomical structures like the maxillary sinus, the mental foramen or the mandibular canal, and tooth autotransplantation of both mature or immature teeth. The necessary digital work flow for static 3D-printed guides or dynamic virtual guides and the available scientific evidence will be discussed in detail as well as the clinical protocols and required armamentarium. Several clinical cases of each type of guided treatment will be shown and described step by step with proper follow up periods displaying a positive outcome.
Learning Objectives:
- List the digital work flow necessary to perform computer aided endodontic treatments.
- Evaluate if a specific case is indicated, or not, to be treated with a computer aided or guided procedure.
- Discuss the possibility of offering these types of treatments to a patient.

Description: It's only one concept in endodontics: elimination of bacteria and the pulp tissue from the root canal system while preserving maximum tooth structure for restoration and function. The purpose of endodontic therapy is to remove all the inflamed and necrotic tissues in the pulp, as well as the bacterial component, making the pulp and the root canals of the tooth as clean as possible. Making the root canals as clean as possible (one of the predictor factors for endodontic success) increases the predictability of our treatments.
Scouting canals technique improves the shaping, disinfection, and obturation of the root canal system with cheap tools and a simple approach.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the aim of this procedure
- Explain the details of the technique
- Discuss documented cases and to realize that this is a teachable, repeatable, and reproducible technique
