    CE Hours: 1.0

    Description: The decision to treat or extract a tooth in the esthetic zone is one of the more complex decisions that a practitioner must make. It is a test of the team’s knowledge and ability to reach the ultimate goal of an esthetic and functional restoration that will last for years to come. All this must be done with the patient’s emotional and financial status considered. This session will focus on the latest challenges in diagnosing endodontically treated teeth that may require surgery to assist in dental dam isolation, apical surgery and/or intentional replantation. This will be both a “why to” presentation focusing on the decision-making process and a “how to” presentation.

    Learning Objectives: 

    • Obtain a 3D diagnostic database for successful endodontic treatment planning and case acceptance.
    • Review Digital Transformation and how we collaborate through new encrypted data opportunities.
    • Identify the benefits of collaborative studies

    CE Hours: 1.5

    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 course will present a thorough overview of the principles of  the management of medical conditions in dental patients, Furthermore, the participant will be updated upon current understanding and treatment of oral conditions such as oral cancer, xerostomia, lichen planus and candidiasis among others.

    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
    • Identify the oral manifestations and potential complications of medical problems in dental patients

    CE Hours: 1.0

    Description: Dental caries continues to be a global problem, with root canal treatment being considered as the conventional management for teeth with inflamed pulps. The current improved understanding of the histopathology and the healing potential of the inflamed pulp, and the use of MTA and hydraulic calcium silicate-based materials, have led to a renewed interest in vital pulp therapy procedures as a minimally invasive treatment approach. This presentation will comprehensively review vital pulp therapy for teeth with deep carious lesions, in terms of treatment planning, selection criteria, clinical procedures, clinical outcomes and patients’ satisfaction. 

    Learning Objectives: 

    • Summarize the biological bases that support vital pulp therapy 
    • Identify the importance for integration of patient’s symptoms with intraoperative clinical findings in the decision making for management of an exposed pulp.
    • Explain details of clinical procedures essential for a predictable outcome.

    Description

    Techniques and Technologies have been developed to satisfy the demands of evolving micro techniques but are not limited to the classical endodontic armamentarium. The most recent example is the implementation of the Piezosurgical technique for root end surgery. Posterior sites, with substantial cortical plate thicknesses and sensitive anatomy, present the dichotomy of visualization versus post-surgical regeneration of bone. The bony lid technique bridges the gap between these two concepts, and the application of Piezosurgery renders a precise and biocompatible osseous incision. This seminar will introduce the participant to the indications/contraindications of the Bony Lid technique, the fabrication of a precision endodontic surgical stent (PRESS) and execution of the technique in a mandibular molar site.

    Learning Objectives: 

    • Explain the development of the bony lid technique and the advantages/disadvantages.
    • Sequence the steps involved in the planning and fabrication of a precision endodontic surgical stent (PRESS)©
    • Evaluate the use of Piezoelectric surgery and PRESS© versus conventional techniques for posterior root end procedures.
