NS-15 The Retrospective Scope

3 (3 votes)

CE Hours: 1.5

Description: Your heart starts to beat fast, your face tingles, your stomach churns, and you start to sweat! Welcome to the moment you realize that your well-planned treatment has gone off the rails. This may be a misdiagnosis, an iatrogenic error, or a realization that your current approach is moving in the wrong direction. We are Endodontists, but we are also human! We can not realistically expect every case to proceed as we had intended. However, when faced with difficult choices, either caused by our own iatrogenicity or forced upon us with new and dynamic information, we must respond. We welcome you to join us as we each present a case that went off the rails for one reason or another. We welcome you to experience how our cases developed, what happened and how we approached getting the best possible result out of the situation. We present these cases to show how every clinician is human and to enrich us all with the beautiful learning that comes from treatment that does not go as planned

Learning Objectives: 

  • Discuss in-the-moment decision-making when faced with clinical surprises
  • Explain how experienced clinicians managed nonideal clinical scenarios
  • Explain the expanding scope of the modern endodontic practice
