Nestor Cohenca, D.D.S., F.I.A.D.T. | This presentation will discuss the current AAE guidelines, with emphasis on current evidence-based literature supporting therapeutic modifications, as well as new philosophies to be considered for future guidelines.

Speaker: Mohammed A. Alharbi, B.D.s, D.Sc.D|This lecture will discuss the less known consequences of occlusal trauma such as accelerated pulpal tissue degeneration and the role of occlusal trauma on external root resorption. The implications of occlusal forces on periapical healing and the survivability of endodontically treated teeth will also be addressed.​

Speakers: Nestor Cohenca, D.D.S., F.I.A.D.T.;Barbara Sheller, D.D.S., MS.D.|The importance of a multidisciplinary approach will be thoroughly discussed and illustrated using advanced 3D technology for diagnosis and treatment planning.

SP-46: Speaker: Maobin Yang, D.M.D., M.D.S., Ph.D. In the last decade, regenerative endodontic procedures have emerged as an alternative to treat necrotic permanent teeth that have immature root formation with an open apex. This lecture will provide the current knowledge, from the tissue engineering aspect, of the biological basis and treatment outcomes of the regenerative endodontics procedure. SP-47: Speakers: Terrell F. Pannkuk, D.D.S., M.Sc.D., Frederic Barnett, D.MD. Dr. Pannkuk will provide measured unique data taken from 1,000 uninterrupted sequential recalled patients from his practice with a minimum recall period of 5 years highlighting numerous complex treatment descriptors with over 600 CBCT recall scans, microphotographs, and radiographs dating his practice period of 30 years with a mean recall term of 12.5 years. He will discuss the strategies for assimilating such a large volume of data and value it has had for endodontic treatment planning in his practice.

SP-16: Speaker: Christine Berthold, D.D.S., D.M.D., M.S.C., Ph.D. Splinting is one aspect of the initial/emergency treatment of dento-alveolar injuries. The aim of splinting procedures is to functionally fixate teeth and alveolar process fragments in their anatomically correct position, during the healing period. SP-17: Speaker: Carlos Aznar Portoles, D.D.S., M.Sc. External Cervical Invasive Resorption is an uncommon type of root resorption that, when not detected and/or treated on time, may result in the loss of a tooth. This presentation will focus on the management of cervical root resorption lesions by an internal approach with or without additional surgical intervention. SP-18: Speaker: Guillaume Jouanny, D.D.S., M.S. This presentation will discuss the etiology and pathophysiology, the diagnosis, the prognosis and the treatment choices of tooth resorptions. The advantage of new technologies such as CBCT will be shown through the presentation of several clinical cases.

SP-39: Speakers: Keith R. Boyer, D.D.S. An enhanced revision of the endodontic revitalization technique to treat immature teeth with apical periodontitis will be presented. This includes the addition of a collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffold to the currently established revitalization technique, for previously untreated and retreatment cases. SP-40: Speaker: Maria A. Giron Cerrato, D.D.S. Dento-alveolar trauma is an unfortunate event occurring to patients as a result of accidents or sport-related injuries. This lecture will present various types of trauma cases in children and adults.

SP-33: Speaker: Eric J. Herbranson, D.D.S., M.S.(C). This course is designed to be an update to my 2012 presentation on dentin conservation in endodontics which was the first to introduce to the associations members the modern principals and rational behind dentin conservation with its benefits to tooth strength and improved tooth survival. We will build on that lecture and highlight what we have learned the last five years. SP-34: Duo Zhang, D.D.S. Maximal reduction of microbial load in the infected root canals is a key goal in endodontics. The presentation summarizes past achievements and developments in antibacterial methods and describes recent advances in strategies to completely eliminate microbial presence in the root canals.

SP-21: Speaker: Sumin Lee, D.D.S., M.S.D., D.Sc. Since the discovery of stem cells in the dental pulp and the periradicular tissues, research in regenerative endodontics has grown exponentially, promising that stem-cell-based therapies have the potential to improve our conventional endodontic treatment. This presentation will review the perspectives in the field of dental pulp tissue-engineering. SP-22: Speaker: Christine Berthold, D.D.S., M.Sc., Ph.D. Dento-alveolar trauma can cause reversible or irreversible damage to the involved tooth structure and surrounding tissues. Based on interesting clinical cases, the different pulpal conditions, found after dento-alveolar trauma, will be discussed including treatment approaches, biological background and advantages/disadvantages of the various techniques.

Speaker: Leif K. Bakland, D.D.S. Constance M. Killian, B.D.S. Robert J. Steelman, B.D.S., M.D. Brian Barsness, D.D.S., M.S. Understanding the scope of the dental and medical issues that can arise from injury is crucial for developing the appropriate action plans. This session will demonstrate and discuss specific cases of trauma with input and perspectives from an endodontist, pediatric dentist, and emergency medicine physician.

Speaker: Nestor Cohenca, D.D.S. The management of dental trauma remains a significant clinical challenge affecting healthcare providers and patients alike. Falls, accidents and sport-related injuries are the most frequent causes of dental trauma. Patients can present with a wide variety of injuries, ranging from crown or root fractures, to injuries to the supporting periodontal structure, including luxations and avulsions. Treatment is complex, time consuming and expensive and it requires a multidisciplinary approach. This presentation will discuss the current AAE guidelines, with emphasis on current evidence-based literature supporting therapeutic modifications, as well as new philosophies to be considered for future guidelines.
