Description: Dr. John Olmsted and Katie Panikian, JD, CPCU, ARM will present case studies of several real endodontic malpractice cases to the audience. They will highlight endodontic procedures that became issues for dentists, and also endodontic procedures that developed problems for endodontists. A discussion will follow each case, giving the audience a chance to discuss the risk management issues involved in each case. The audience will then be asked to act as a jury, reaching a verdict on the case, and a dollar amount on a judgment. The audience will then be given the real-life verdicts and awards.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how errors in record keeping, diagnosis, treatment planning, and endodontic treatment will affect the claims handling and legal process.
- List the cost in terms of judgments rendered against dentists/endodontists through the discussion of real life malpractice case examples.
- Outline the steps of risk management.

Description: The decision to treat or extract a tooth in the esthetic zone is one of the more complex decisions that a practitioner must make. It is a test of the team’s knowledge and ability to reach the ultimate goal of an esthetic and functional restoration that will last for years to come. All this must be done with the patient’s emotional and financial status considered. This session will focus on the latest challenges in diagnosing endodontically treated teeth that may require surgery to assist in dental dam isolation, apical surgery and/or intentional replantation. This will be both a “why to” presentation focusing on the decision-making process and a “how to” presentation.
Learning Objectives:
- Obtain a 3D diagnostic database for successful endodontic treatment planning and case acceptance.
- Review Digital Transformation and how we collaborate through new encrypted data opportunities.
- Identify the benefits of collaborative studies

Description: Operative field isolation is the standard of care for root canal treatments even in complex cases as prosthetic abutments, teeth with a severely damaged crown or during combined endodontics and restorative open-flap procedures.
The presence of leakage is recognized to be an unfavorable prognostic factor for therapy outcome. A proper isolation has to be carefully planned and it can affect the whole treatment plan for the recovery of the tooth. According with techniques and available materials, generally the clinician has many possibilities to get a proper isolation: before starting the treatment a deep and a proper analysis of pro and cons has to be done to decide the more convenient technique to apply.
The aim of this case-based presentation is to provide a practical guide for a fruitful isolation of challenging situations in endodontics, sharing protocols to get easily the leakage control, saving time and number of appointments for the recovery of the tooth.Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate the role of isolation in the outcome and in the treatment plan
- Implement strategies to get a proper leakage control in complex cases
- Perform a very effective and easy technique for leakage control in endodontics and / or conservative open-flap procedures
