SP-34 Guided Endodontics
CE: 0.75
Accessing the root canal system in calcified/obliterated cases can be very difficult and time consuming. The use of CBCT is very useful in the treatment planing and in the evaluation of its complexity. The use of virtual models and 3-D guides allows a new approach - the access is performed minimizing the risk of procedural errors. 3-D printed guides are used to locate the canal in a safe and easy way. In the treatment of calcified canal systems, endodontic guiding devices reduce the procedural time and facilitate an easy access with minimal dentinal destruction, improving the long-term prognosis of endodontic treatments.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Discover the possibilities of applying CbCt and 3-D printed devices to gain access to calcified canal systems.
- Use new technology available (3-D imaging, dental operating microscope) to improve on the diagnosis and prognosis of cases with calcified/obliterated canal systems.
- Recognize important clinical and radiographics findings useful to decision making in the treatment of calcified canals.
