Description: Cemental tear is an important condition of relevance to Endodontics and Periodontics but is often overlooked. The diagnosis of cemental tear is often challenging, even for the experienced clinician. In practice, it is common for a cemental tear to be misdiagnosed as a vertical root fracture, an endodontic–periodontal lesion, or a failed periodontal or endodontic treatment. Dentists may treat these clinical cases as pure periodontal and periapical lesions due to misdiagnosis of cemental tears. In some cases, the presence of cemental tears was realized after the extraction of non-healing teeth. Some failed cases, for unknown reasons, are due to the presence of cemental tear. The limited attention received is most likely due to the unawareness amongst dental professionals and challenges in accurately diagnosing them, resulting in misdiagnosis and erroneous treatment. In this lecture, we will review 1) the etiology, 2) clinical, radiographic, and histological features, (3) classification, 4) recommended treatment strategies linked to the classification 5) treatment outcomes of cemental tear.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the different etiology of cemental tear.
- Elaborate clinical and radiographic presentation of cemental tear.
- Demonstrate different treatment strategies for cemental tears depending on the classification.

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: Severe traumatic dental injuries in growing patients often lead to a range of complications, including pulp necrosis, ankylosis, infra-occlusion, complex restorability issues, tooth loss and subsequent bone loss. These issues can severely impact the patient’s quality of life, since the most affected teeth are the maxillary central incisors in the aesthetic area. Given that young patients have limited options for tooth replacement, preserving both the architecture and amount of bone in the affected area is crucial. Effective bone preservation ensures that when the time comes for future prosthetic solutions, such as implants, they can be implemented with minimal additional procedures. By employing effective bone preservation techniques, both immediate and long-term results can be improved, making future tooth replacement easier and less costly. This presentation will cover a series of clinical cases that demonstrate how these strategies can significantly impact aesthetic and functional outcomes for young patients.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the range of complications that can arise from severe traumatic dental injuries in young patients.
- Explain bone preservation techniques and how they can potentially maintain both the architecture and quantity of bone in these patients assisting in future replacement procedures.
- Describe practical skills in applying effective bone preservation strategies in clinical practice to ensure optimal outcomes for future prosthetic interventions.

Description: Pulp Necrosis in young patients may lead to interruption of the normal root development. Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) have been shown to be a promising treatment strategy for the repair or regeneration of the damaged tissues in order to achieve complete development or closure of the apical root third. Most published reports using REPs have focused on patients aged 8-16 years and mainly with open apex teeth. In the recent years, REPs have been also suggested for the treatment of adult patients in different clinical scenarios. During this presentation, different situations where REP have been performed in adult patients will be introduceD treatment of teeth with fully developed roots, apical root resorptions, teeth with previous surgical and non-surgical retreatment or autotransplanted teeth. Some of these cases have been followed for up to 15 years after treatment.
Learning Objectives:
- List the different clinical scenarios where regenerative endodontic procedures can be performed in adult patients.
- Describe the potential benefits and limitations of regenerative endodontic procedures in adult patients, as compared to conventional endodontic procedures.
- Discuss the short and long-term outcomes of regenerative endodontic procedures in adult patients.

Description: Until recently there was a paucity of information on the concise relationship between endodontics and orthodontics during treatment planning decisions especially following tooth trauma and its sequelae. This relationship ranges from effects on the pulp from orthodontic treatment and the potential for resorption during tooth movement, to the clinical management of teeth requiring integrated endodontic and orthodontic treatment. This presentation will provide both a literature basis for this relationship along with treatment directives to meet challenges in clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the impact of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) on the pulp and the supporting periodontium.
- Identify and discuss treatment planning for teeth that have undergone trauma and are planned for OTM.
- Identify issues of tooth resorption as it relates to the dental pulp, trauma and OTM using the literature as a guide for diagnostic and treatment choices.

Description: Dental trauma to immature maxillary incisors can result in various complications such as discoloration, critical fractures, resorptions, or ankylosis and might lead to tooth loss. All of the above can influence patients’ physical and social aspects, including self-esteem, confidence, eating and speaking abilities, and proper development and growth of the jaw bones. Treatment of traumatized immature incisors should not only focus on the acute phase but also the long-term consequences. Any time gained with the tooth in the jaw bone, free of infection, is an achievement, as it allows normal growth and development. All these aspects will be discussed, given clinical cases and updated scientific literature. An evidence-based summary will be presented for clinicians to be used as a concise tool when planning treatment for traumatized immature maxillary incisors.
Learning Objectives:
- List the common implications of post-traumatic treatment of immature maxillary incisors.
- Discuss the pros and cons of common post-traumatic treatments of immature maxillary incisors.
- Evaluate dental trauma cases while considering future implications of the treatment provided.
