Description: Endodontic flare ups remain a perplexing occurrence. Most often they are thought of as a clinical problem rather than a complex biological phenomenon. Patients presenting with comparable chief complaints, pulp/periapical diagnoses and medical/dental histories, usually receive the same treatment. However, varied responses to that treatment can be difficult to understand. Pain has been described as the most complex symptom that a human can experience. There is increasing evidence that factors, not often considered during a flare up, may play an important role in the biological processes involved in converting an essentially passive condition to one characterized by acute pain. The patient's genetics, immune system and sex may predispose them to pain. This presentation will review the potential of those factors to play a role during a flare up.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify factors that may predispose a patient to pain.
- Describe how the immune system may be a factor in patient's pain.
- Evaluate research concerning male and female experiences with pain.

Description: The diagnosis and treatment of dental pain is fundamental to the practice of endodontics. However, there can often be a disconnect between the experience of pain in a patient and the presence of clinical disease. Teeth are uniquely innervated and cause severe pain and sensitization of the nervous system, even when there is minimal or no pathology in the pulp. Sensitization can lead to a confusing presentation of symptoms and complicate determining the diagnosis. Furthermore, persistent pain can occur even after successful endodontic treatment, due to changes in the nervous system that have been triggered by the original injury to the pulp. Endodontic materials, including sealers, can injure nervous tissues. In this presentation, we will review the current science underlying clinically relevant issues relating to pain and provide practical guidelines for minimizing risk for chronic pain after routine endodontic treatments
Learning Objectives:
- Explain how the unique innervation of the dental pulp can lead to peripheral and central sensitization.
- Explain how sensitization can impact endodontic diagnostic testing.
- Recognize how treatment planning decisions can reduce risk for chronic pain.

Description: With the advent of surgical techniques and instruments, the clinical and radiographic outcomes of endodontic surgery have been dramatically improved. However, alteration of soft tissue, including recession, loss of papilla, and scarring, may occur. In other words, surgery may solve the apical lesion but create a new soft tissue problem. With the importance of esthetics in our society, perfect management of hard tissues is insufficient; practitioners need to master the management of soft tissues additionally.
This presentation aims to review all the steps, from incision design and flap management to the choice of suture size, type, and technique in the interest of maximizing the aesthetic outcome of endodontic surgery. Dr. Wohlgemuth, an Endodontist, and Dr. Shi a Periodontist, will discuss and illustrate each aspect with several clinical cases.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the parameters related to the aesthetic outcome
- Describe different flap designs and suture techniques to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes
- Explain the role of pre-surgical planning on the outcome of endodontic surgery

Description: We describe a novel approach to simulating patient-specific dental operative procedures by combining extended reality (XR) technology and 3D-printed models of clinical cases. XR is an umbrella term that encapsulates virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and everything in between. XR can create a space where the real world and the virtual world merge and influence each other. This presentation applies XR in clinical practice and dental training. The complementary use of patient-specific XR technology and 3D-printed models contributes to easing the transition from preclinical to clinical operative practice and enables effective learning in dental education. We will describe this innovative XR technique in cases featuring 3D-guided access on calcified root canals, microsurgical cases of guided root resection, and non-surgical access of anatomically challenging teeth.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the application of XR technology in dental education and training
- Describe the approach to simulating patient-specific dental operative procedures by combining XR technology with 3D-printed models
- Describe the future applications in live augmented reality procedures

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: Systemic health is related to oral health and vice versa. Many systemic diseases are manifested in the oral cavity and many oral conditions and therapies have a profound impact upon systemic diseases. In addition, some of the therapies used to these conditions have significant effects on the oral cavity. For those reasons, it is important for dentists (and dental health care professionals) to know about their patients' medical conditions before treating them and to understand which diseases manifest themselves in the oral cavity. This lecture will present a general overview of the principles of the management of medical conditions in dental patients. The participant will be updated upon current understanding of medical conditions such as antibiotic prophylaxis, bleeding and cardiovascular conditions.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the changing epidemiology of medical problems in dental patients
- Review the medical manifestations and treatment options for medical problems in dental patients
- Review the current dental management for patients with medical problems in dental practice

Description: Endodontic retreatment is carried out in cases where previous endodontic therapies failed. The main cause of treatment failure is bacterial persistence within the root canal or coronal leakage after treatment. Literature reports a success rate ranging from 80% to 88% for endodontic retreatment; thus, it is a procedure with a predictable prognosis when well performed. Prognosis will be affected by the type of previous treatment and anatomical alterations occurred during primary treatment. Numerous technologies such as operative microscope, CBCT, and ultrasound are available to help execute the different procedures that could demand this therapy. Overall, clinical procedures include: removal of pins or posts and other core materials; removal of guttapercha, silver cones, management of ledges, root perforations and in some cases, even separated instruments. The main objectives of this clinical lecture are to describe some of the most common clinical situations that occur during endodontic retreatment and to highlight the importance of this practice for tooth conservation.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the importance of diagnosis and evaluate the causes of primary treatment failure
- Perform safe and predictable protocols to approach the different difficulties that a retreatment case may present
- Describe the available technologies such as operative microscope, CBCT and ultrasound for the management of retreatment cases
