Description: Calcium hydroxide has a long history of applications in endodontics and dental traumatology. The material has strong disinfectant and osseo-inductive properties. With regard to dental traumatology, the use of calcium hydroxide has applications in vital pulp therapy of complicated crown fractures, pulp necrosis following trauma, avulsions with extended dry time, apexification, MTA barrier techniques and regenerative endodontics. However, the use of calcium hydroxide in apexification has become controversial. Cvek identified a high incidence of transverse root fractures for immature teeth treated with long-term calcium hydroxide dressings. In vitro studies have reported calcium hydroxide has decreased the fracture strength of root dentine over time. However, this finding is also controversial with inconsistent and conflicting observations reported. Calcium hydroxide has been used for 50 years and now some authors and organizations advocate for the use of MTA barrier techniques rather than calcium hydroxide. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the science around calcium hydroxide, its use of and concerns with calcium hydroxide in dental traumatology.
Learning Objectives:
- Critically appraise the calcium hydroxide literature.
- Follow fracture mechanics principles of root fracture mechanics.
- Appraise the different approaches to treat immature permanent teeth with pulp necrosis and infection.

Description: Traumatic dental injuries are potentially very complex and can lead to a number of different responses of the pulp and peri-radicular tissues. A thorough understanding of the various potential pulp responses is essential so appropriate management can be undertaken. Following many injuries, the pulp may survive – but this can only occur if the pulp is managed appropriately at the emergency visit which includes not removing the pulp in many cases! However, there are some specific injuries where pulp survival is predictably unlikely. If the pulp necroses and becomes infected, then there is the potential for external inflammatory resorption to develop if there has also been damage to the periodontal ligament and/or external root surface of the tooth. In such situations, a preventive approach can be used to prevent this resorption from developing. A key factor is to recognize which specific injuries make teeth susceptible to this type of resorption. Hence, understanding and knowing when and when not to commence root canal treatment after a traumatic dental injury is essential to ensure better outcomes and prognoses for traumatized teeth. This lecture will review the literature and provide guidelines for practitioners regarding when and when not commence root canal treatment.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the various responses of the pulp following trauma to a tooth.
- Explain why some pulps survive and others do not survive after trauma to a tooth, and identify those teeth where pulp survival is unlikely.
- Discuss when and when not to commence root canal treatment following trauma to a tooth.

Description:
Antibiotics are useful adjunctive tools in the management of endodontic infections. That said, their overuse and misuse in dentistry and medicine have caused a dramatic increase in the rates of antibiotic resistance. The rise in resistance, among other concerns, underscores the need for stewardship of this valuable resource. Participants in this webinar will understand the diagnosis of endodontic infections, but will more importantly appreciate those situations that may benefit from antibiotic therapy as well as those where antibiotics may not be necessary. Evidence-based strategies for prescription will be reviewed, as will antibiotic premedication in dentistry.
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Define antibiotic stewardship and discuss its necessity.
- Review the diagnosis of orofacial infections
- Discuss indications and contraindications for antibiotic therapy in endodontic infection management, as well as evidence-based antibiotic regimens.

Description: Substance use disorders have an enormous impact on individuals, families and communities. The National Institute of Drug Abuse reports that there are more deaths, illness and disabilities from substance use than from any other preventable health condition. In fact, one in four deaths in our country is attributable to prescription or illicit drugs, alcohol or tobacco (NIDA 2017). The management of patients with substance use disorders can be challenging, especially if the patients are experiencing pain. This presentation is designed to present the latest information on Substance Use Disorders with a focus on patient management.
- Prescribe appropriate analgesics for patients with severe opioid use disorder.
- List common "red flags" that might prompt questioning for patients trying to obtain controlled substances.
- Define terminology used when treating patients with SUD.
