Description: Root perforations represent one of the most challenging complications during endodontic procedures. These are defined as a communication between the root canal space and the periodontal tissues, and can result as a pathological phenomenon (perforating root resorptions) or a iatrogenic event. To date, factors such as time, size, location, radiolucency adjacent to the perforation, gender or the repair material have been reported as significant prognostic factors. Thus, the primary aim of this this presentation is to perform an exhaustive literature review regarding root perforations outcome. The secondary objective is to describe the clinical management of root perforations and to present the results of a recent investigation carried out in a private practice during 2014-2022 with a minimum follow-up 2 years. A sample size of 82 teeth was retrospectively assessed and the outcome (healed, healing in process, failure) was statistically related to all the possible outcome predictors.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe a well-established protocol to manage root perforations according to the different scenarios (time, size, location of the perforation).
- Review the present literature regarding root perforations treatment outcome.
- Evaluate the success of root perforations repair in combination with the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative prognostic factors of current investigation.

Description: Teeth with mature apexes, necrotic pulps, and periapical lesions are routinely treated with conventional endodontic procedures with a high and long-term survival rate. Traumatic injuries associated with severance of the blood supply result in pulpal ischemia and often a secondary infection with bacteria. The consequence of pulpal necrosis in teeth with immature apexes, however, is the cessation of root development, making endodontic treatment with conventional techniques and materials difficult and sometimes impossible. Currently, treatment options for these teeth include MTA apexification, regenerative endodontics or a new tooth. MTA Apexification induces an artificial apical stop that allows for condensation of obturation materials. However, this procedure does not promote continuation of root development, nor does it increase fracture resistance of the root walls. An ideal treatment for a tooth with necrotic pulp and immature apex is the regeneration of pulp tissue into a root canal and promotion of a normal root development. The advantages of regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) lie in the potential for reinforcement of dentinal walls by deposition of hard tissue and the potential for the development of an apical morphology more appropriate for conventional endodontic therapy if future treatment becomes necessary. The American Association of Endodontists has developed Clinical Considerations for REPs, which outlines detailed information regarding the steps involved in REPs. However, there are challenges, and mishaps that can occur during pre- treatment, mid treatment or following treatment. The presenter will discuss how to prevent and manage these challenges and Mishaps.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe treatment options for teeth with open apexes.
- Describe challenges and mishaps during regenerative endodontics.
- Describe prevention and treatment of the challenges and mishaps.

Description: Team endodontic microsurgery has different procedural goals to non-surgical treatment. Although the aim of achieving a favourable patient centred outcome is the same – to preserve a tooth without any functional impairment, where the parameters are those valued by the patient – the entire mindset with a microsurgical approach requires a refocused treatment strategy for the team. Because extended treatment time and associated factors (an open surgical wound, prolonged bleeding) are critical in affecting healing outcomes and morbidity, the microsurgical team needs to be even more efficient than the non-surgical team in order to provide the same level of care. This means two chairside assistants are needed, each with different roles. The operatory setup also requires some changes to ensure both assistants are able to perform at the highest level of teamwork and efficiency. The instruments and materials are also different, but similarly to non-surgical treatment, are arranged in the sequence of use to ensure time is not wasted and the procedure occurs in a logical order.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how to provide apical microsurgery in a fast, efficient and predictable way.
- Describe how to ergonomically design a surgical operatory.
- Describe basic patient positioning.

Description: From GV Black and forward, every generation of dentists describes their methods and philosophy as "modern" with respect to endodontics and vital pulp therapy (VPT). When did science replace clinical opinions about saving pulps through VPT? How have different philosophies developed over decades with respect to VPT? What is the current "modern" philosophy of VPT and how much has the clinical success rate improved?This presentation will focus on the various factors that will determine whether the FREQUENCY of VPT will become a first level consideration among dentists, both generalists and specialists for the treatment of diseases of the pulp. The VPT success rates are currently high for pulps with a clinical diagnosis of both reversible and irreversible pulpitis. What developments in the future will further improve the prognosis? VPT is more than a pulp cap or pulpotomy or a material. VPT incorporates a philosophy of treatment and a strict process to be followed.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the history of the development of the Vital Pulp Therapy philosophy as it exists today.
- Define the detailed process of Vital Pulp Therapy and recognize the importance of each step.
- Describe how the process of working with the insurance industry and organized dentistry will be necessary to affect the changes necessary to insure the success of VPT as a primary treatment philosophy.

Description: When orthograde retreatment and apical microsurgery are considered unfeasible, when they fail to resolve persistent endodontic infection, or when the remaining tooth structure is deemed non-restorable, the tooth is usually extracted and replaced with an implant or another prosthetic device. Alternatively, when clinical conditions permit, the tooth can be extracted, manipulated extra-orally and replanted (Intentional Replantation, Surgical Extrusion), or a non-strategic tooth can be transplanted into the socket of the extracted tooth (Autogenous Transplantation). These seemingly radical but rather simple procedures offer predictably good outcomes when the biologic principles of tooth replantation are respected.
This lecture will discuss the procedures of Intentional Replantation/Transplantation in a contemporary context, as predictable means for retaining otherwise “untreatable” teeth to greatly benefit patients. Strict guidelines for case selection, a step-by-step protocol and a variety of clinical applications will be outlined and illustrated with typical cases. Reported outcomes will also be highlighted for various clinical applications of both procedures.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the procedural guidelines and steps for Intentional Replantation, Surgical Extrusion and Autogenous Transplantation aimed to prevent external root resorption and persistent infection
- Outline the indications for Intentional Replantation and Autogenous Transplantation
- Summarize the long-term outcomes of Intentional Replantation, Surgical Extrusion and Autogenous Transplantation

Description: Vital pulp therapy including pulpotomy is increasingly adopted in the management of various pulp exposures in children and adults, by virtue of the improved understanding of pulp histopathology and its response to the carious insult. The advent of MTA and other hydraulic calcium silicate based-materials has considerably improved the success rates over medium and long-term follow-up and therefore renewed the interest in vital pulp therapy. This presentation will review the available data on the clinical and histological diagnosis of various pulp exposures with a broad spectrum of symptomatology and will discuss the recent evidence in support of vital pulp therapy in mature permanent teeth and clinical symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis. Patients’, clinicians ‘, and scientists' centered outcomes including clinical and radiographic success, survival, pain management, patient satisfaction, quality of life improvement, and cost-effectiveness will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe management strategies for carious pulp exposures in children and adults based on currently available guidelines
- Define treatment consideration and case selection criteria for vital pulp therapy procedures based on possible prognostic factors
- Review the available evidence on clinicians' and patients' centred outcomes of vital pulp therapy procedures in teeth with carious pulp exposure

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
