Description: Managing root resorption can be challenging as it involves the management of pulpal, periapical, and periodontal tissues. The clinician must consider long-term vs. short-term outcomes, function, and esthetics. Maintaining a balance between conservative and aggressive approaches renders the decision-making process complicated. In this presentation, biological and clinical aspects of different types of resorption will be explored, with a focus on External Invasive Resorption. Various approaches to the treatment of root resorption will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify common types of root resorption.
- List clinical and pathobiological features for each type of resorption.
- Describe various treatment modalities for External Invasive Resorption.

Description: Cemental tear is an important condition of relevance to Endodontics and Periodontics but is often overlooked. The diagnosis of cemental tear is often challenging, even for the experienced clinician. In practice, it is common for a cemental tear to be misdiagnosed as a vertical root fracture, an endodontic–periodontal lesion, or a failed periodontal or endodontic treatment. Dentists may treat these clinical cases as pure periodontal and periapical lesions due to misdiagnosis of cemental tears. In some cases, the presence of cemental tears was realized after the extraction of non-healing teeth. Some failed cases, for unknown reasons, are due to the presence of cemental tear. The limited attention received is most likely due to the unawareness amongst dental professionals and challenges in accurately diagnosing them, resulting in misdiagnosis and erroneous treatment. In this lecture, we will review 1) the etiology, 2) clinical, radiographic, and histological features, (3) classification, 4) recommended treatment strategies linked to the classification 5) treatment outcomes of cemental tear.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the different etiology of cemental tear.
- Elaborate clinical and radiographic presentation of cemental tear.
- Demonstrate different treatment strategies for cemental tears depending on the classification.

Description: Maxillary sinusitis of endodontic origin refers specifically to sinusitis secondary to periradicular disease of endodontic origin. This pathology requires an accurate diagnosis followed by appropriate endodontic treatment to remove the source of endodontic pathogens associated with the periapical disease and secondary sinus infection. The use of CBCT imaging significantly improve the ability to detect mucosal soft tissue changes, sinus membrane thickening and odontogenic sources for sinusitis, such as untreated canals. In this presentation, several cases of maxillary sinusitis of endodontic and dental origin, with different manifestations, diagnostic challenges, treatment and outcomes will be described. All of them with inflammatory sinus changes represented by mucositis, osteoperiostitis or partial obstruction; that showed sinus signs and symptoms which disappeared after dental management. In most of them, the sinus condition had an endodontic origin, however, in one case, sinusitis was caused by trauma to the face. All cases had a satisfactory response of the periradicular tissues and maxillary sinus to treatment that consisted of root canal therapy or trauma management.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe classification of maxillary sinusitis of endodontic origin.
- Diagnose through CBCT maxillary sinusitis associated with endodontic infection.
- Evaluate different treatment alternatives for teeth causing maxillary sinusitis.

Description: Patient injury as an outcome of endodontic treatment can have devastating consequences for both the patient and the endodontist. Mishaps that occur during the therapeutic stages of endodontic therapy can result in significant irreversible damage to teeth and the jaws as well as neurologic damage within the head and neck, with an unpredictable course and an uncertain prognosis. This presentation will discuss the evidence and best practices regarding clinician thinking and actions resulting in patient injury and impairment as a result of endodontic care. The presentation will review the data for prognosis and how to determine treatment and intervention strategies in local anesthetic injury; chemical harm from overfill; as well as irrigation accidents and the resulting neural trauma caused by surgical error.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the advantages of imaging technologies in identifying key neurovascular structures and their proximity to the root canal systems of teeth.
- Identify safe protocols for avoiding extra-radicular overfill of the root canal space when there is close proximity to neurovascular anatomy.
- Become familiar with prognosis and best practice for injuries and overfill mishaps that result in neurologic damage.

Description: For endodontists, it is easy to assume that any radiolucency associated with pain is of pulpal or inflammatory origin, especially if the tooth has a significant restorative history. However, numerous disease entities of variable clinical significance can be identified in the periapical region, and differentiating the typical endodontic presentation from that of a potentially more life threatening or insidious etiology is of critical importance to ensure ideal management and outcome. This review, based on clinical cases, will highlight a variety of diagnostic roadblocks including the limitations of pulp testing and radiographic interpretation of periapical images and cone beam computerized tomography. Advanced endodontic diagnosis with systematic method for the development of a differential diagnosis of periapical radiolucencies will be the main focus of this discussion.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the limits of available technology and issues related to pulp testing and radiographic imaging.
- Incorporate a systematic method to formulate a differential diagnosis of radiographic lesions found in the periradicular areas.
- Discuss the radiographic changes consistent with non-inflammatory etiologies and recognize when referral for biopsy is indicated.

Description: Prevention and/or elimination of pulpal pathology and apical periodontitis is the ultimate goal of endodontic treatment. The success rate of primary non-surgical root canal treatment is >90%.Root canal retreatment might also fail or may not be feasible, on those cases root end surgery is the procedure of choice in those cases. The success rate of the micro-surgery was reported to be (94%) as shown in the systematic review and meta-analysis by Setzer et al. Despite its very high success, micro-surgery may be difficult to perform in certain cases. The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital workflow has the potential to revolutionize endodontics. AI can be used to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care, while digital workflow can improve efficiency and accuracyIn this lecture, the advancement of AI and digital workflow in the field of Endodontic microsurgery, intentional replantation , and autotransplantation will be discussed, including the use of guided and navigation systems technology to perform the highest standard procedure with a predictable outcome.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Perform precise and accurate guided Root-end surgeries.
- Discuss the use of digital workflows in Endodontics to maximize the outcome of Auto transplantation for different clinical presentations.

Description: CBCT has superior sensitivity in detecting periapical pathosis compared with conventional periapical radiographs. However, CBCT may not always be able to discern vertical root fractures and cracks due to the overlapping structures and fracture’s variability. Nevertheless, there are some pathological CBCT manifestations as secondary changes that aid us detecting these fractures/cracks. Several factors influence the diagnosis of cracks using CBCT such as those related to the device used, patient-related -and operator-related factors. The diagnostic accuracy detecting fractures / cracked teeth can be improved using certain strategies in clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss different types of cracked teeth.
- Discuss the secondary pathological changes using CBCT by correlating the clinical signs and symptoms with their CBCT manifestations.
- Discuss how to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT in finding fractures / cracked teeth.
