Description: Endodontic surgery has become a predictable and highly successful way of solving recurrent endodontic infections. Even with the technologies such as operating microscope, CBCT, piezotome, ultrasonics, etc, still there are many situations that arise that require special approaches. This presentation will focus on achieving access to difficult areas, such as palatal roots, or areas covered by thick cortical bone. We will also discuss safe management of the sinuses and mental nerve, as well as a newer concept called selective curettage. When all else fails, then intentional replantation must be considered, and we will discuss techniques to perform replantation with success rates approaching 90%. The presentation is clinically oriented, showing many cases with clinical tips to successful microsurgery.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate proper positioning of microscope/patient/doctor
- Troubleshoot potential complications involving the mental nerve and sinuses and palatal roots
- Become comfortable performing Intentional Replantation

Description: Prevention and/or elimination of pulpal pathology and apical periodontitis is the ultimate goal of endodontic treatment. The success rate of primary non-surgical root canal treatment is >90%.Root canal retreatment might also fail or may not be feasible, on those cases root end surgery is the procedure of choice in those cases. The success rate of the micro-surgery was reported to be (94%) as shown in the systematic review and meta-analysis by Setzer et al. Despite its very high success, micro-surgery may be difficult to perform in certain cases. The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital workflow has the potential to revolutionize endodontics. AI can be used to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care, while digital workflow can improve efficiency and accuracyIn this lecture, the advancement of AI and digital workflow in the field of Endodontic microsurgery, intentional replantation , and autotransplantation will be discussed, including the use of guided and navigation systems technology to perform the highest standard procedure with a predictable outcome.

Description: Tooth autotransplantation, intentional replantation and surgical extrusion are different treatment options with a similar principle; the preservation of the periodontal ligament (PDL) in order for the tooth to heal and be newly articulated with the bone. Tooth autotransplantation is defined as the surgical movement of a tooth from one alveolar socket to another, either after extraction or by surgically preparing the recipient site in the same patient, it is a viable option to replace lost teeth or poor prognosis teeth. Thus, both function and preservation of the alveolar bone crest is maintained. Its success is associated with healing of the PDL and pulp tissue, absence of root resorption, soft tissue healing, and radicular formation. Intentional replantation is the atraumatic extraction of a tooth enabling the clinician to do a procedure (mostly endodontic microsurgery, or cervical resorption treatment) in less than 15 minutes (extra-alveolar time) in teeth in which, otherwise, access would not be possible. Surgical extrusion consists of atraumatic luxation and coronal repositioning of a tooth with in its same socket, this with the purpose of exposing root resorption, root fractures or decay and treat it, leaving sound tooth structure subgingival.Over the last 15 years these techniques have had a great evolution due to the introduction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanning, 3D planning software, 3D printers and computer aided dynamic navigation devices. All this technology enables a more predictable, faster and safer procedure with lower extra-alveolar times. In this lecture several clinical cases, with a proper follow up period, show the rapid progress of the technique always based in the best scientific evidence available and trying to inspire Endodontists to have this type of treatments as valid options to help their patients.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate if a patient is a potential candidate for Tooth Autotransplantation, Surgical Extrusion or Intentional Replantation.
- List the digital work flow necessary to perform computer guided Tooth Autotransplantation.
- Introduce these type of treatments as possible options for clinical cases that otherwise would be hopeless.

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: There is increasing evidence that teeth with failed endodontic treatment, unsuitable for retreatment due to restorative or anatomic factors, may be candidates for a replantation procedure. The best available evidence indicates that clinicians should integrate the replantation procedure into their treatment planning in select cases. It has been demonstrated that replantation offers the potential for success when proper case selection and procedures are followed. There is a significant cost differential between replantation and that of an implant and crown or fixed prosthesis. Patients who cannot afford an implant, crown, or fixed prosthesis may have their needs addressed by replantation. The procedure offers a viable alternative for some patients who might otherwise lose a tooth resulting in reduced function and diminished esthetics. This presentation will review pertinent literature, consider indications and contraindications for the procedure, and demonstrate completed cases with follow-up. The presentation will utilize a video demonstrating the procedure to serve as a procedural guide. An ongoing multicenter replantation outcomes study will also be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize indications and contraindications for intentional replantation
- Describe critical steps in the intentional replantation procedure
- Organize the armamentarium necessary for a replantation procedure

Description: Although different techniques have been suggested for clinical crown lengthening, all of them have some limitations in terms of aesthetics. In aesthetic zones, crown lengthening maneuvers require a complex diagnostic process, special attention should be taken, or the surgical technique could often result in gingival line asymmetry. The basic goal of the surgical extrusion treatment is to coronally reposition the remnant tooth structure, which will guarantee a reliable sound and healthy supragingival tooth support, to offer a good restorative outcome. This technique can be used successfully to treat severely damaged teeth, especially in the anterior aesthetic zone. During the lecture, a simplified protocol for surgical extrusion will be presented, as well as long-term follow-up clinical cases (more than 9 years follow-up period). The advantages and disadvantages of this procedure will be analyzed.
Learning Objectives
- Based on clinical evidence to discuss risks and benefits of surgical extrusion techniques
- Describe and perform the simplified surgical extrusion technique presented during the lecture
- List inclusion and exclusion clinical criteria for choosing cases to apply the surgical extrusion technique

Description:
Intentional Replantation or Re-implantation has traditionally been thought of as the “treatment of last resort” because of the difficulties in extracting, handling and successfully replanting the tooth. The replanted tooth was often lost to resorption shortly after the procedure, usually from the desiccation of the periodontal ligament. This technique has been modified by the presenter to significantly reduce this root surface event. The resection, preparation and filling of the root end are achieved while the remainder of the tooth is immersed in a tissue culture solution. This satisfies the nutritional requirements of the cells populating the root surface, and considerably extends the extra-oral period. This multi-media presentation outlines in detail the modified technique via case presentation and examines the success rate with recall periods of 3-20 years.
- Appraise via 2 and 3-D imaging the triage and feasibility of the selected tooth for successful harvest and replantation.
- Describe the sequences and techniques for the extraction, handling and replantation of the tooth, and the proper care of the alveolus.
- Identify potential sources of complications and discuss their remedies.
