Description: It is paramount for all endodontists to have some understating on how to diagnose and treat the most common dental injuries, especially the emergency phase of the treatment. This is because the time from injury to treatment can differentiate between saving a tooth or losing it to later complications. Recently, the AAE has updated its recommendation of emergency treatment and follow up schedule as well as when and how to endodontically treat the most common dental, injuries. In the first part of the webinar there will a detailed description of diagnostic procedures needed in case of oral and dental trauma. Recommended radiographic, facio-skeletal and oral evaluations will be explored. The second part of the webinar will focus on changes in treatment recommendations from the last Guidelines and the rationale behind those changes.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the updated AAE’s Recommended Guidelines for the Treatment of Traumatic Dental Injuries.
- Describe the recommended emergency treatment of most common dental injuries.
- Explain the need for follow-up and possible late complications.

CE: 1.0
Description:
Avulsions is considered to be one of the most severe and complex dental injuries with regards to treatment and long-term prognosis. The extra-alveolar dry period and storage medium in which a tooth is kept prior to replantation remain critical factors affecting the survival and repair potential of the periodontal ligament in avulsed teeth. When replantation is not immediate, replacement root resorption (RRR) and ankylosis is the most common complication. This lecture will discuss the recently published guidelines and present emerging approaches for the treatment of avulsed teeth with long extra-alveolar dry time.
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Discuss avulsion injuries and its complications in growing patients.
- Explain the new published protocols and strategies for avulsed teeth
- Describe new concepts for rehabilitation and regeneration of injured tissues.

CE: 1.25
Description:
The treatment of dental alveolar trauma should be a multidisciplinary discussion. Early mixed-dentition injuries ranging from simple displacements to advanced intrusions and avulsions will be described in detail with special emphasis on the role of each team member. Proper treatment of injuries in the developing dentition will many times prevent or lessen long-term recurrent problems related to periodontal and restorative disfigurement. Similar injuries in the adult dentition will be differentiated. Implant placement combined with hard and soft tissue management and restoration, will be demonstrated. Participants will be enlightened by the stable and esthetic results achievable when the focus is always from a multidisciplinary approach in the esthetic zone.
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe Multi-Disciplinary Management of Dental Alveolar Trauma in the Developing Dentition
- Describe Multi-Disciplinary Management of Dental Alveolar Trauma in the Adult Dentition
- Describe Long-term Follow-up and Problems Encountered in a Lifetime

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:Traumatic dental injuries comprise a number of the dental emergency patients that are often seen after hours or on an unscheduled basis in a dental practice environment. While there are a variety of traumatic dental injuries that can occur, each with their own recommended treatment protocols, the initial evaluation and diagnosis of the traumatized dentition makes up a critical aspect of the management of these cases. Through a series of clinical case presentations involving horizontal root fractures, avulsions, luxations and crown fractures along with literature references, this lecture will provide an overview of initial decisions and treatment principles that can lead to successful management of various types of traumatic dental injuries.
- Perform an organized and thorough evaluation of the traumatized dentition.Discuss the value of and limitations of various pulpal tests on traumatized teeth.
- Identify a variety of traumatic dental injuries and have an understanding of what the immediate treatment principles entail for each injury.

Course Description:Endodontists should play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and the treatment planning of comprehensive cases. The negative impact of occlusal trauma on the periodontium has been thoroughly investigated. However, little attention has been given to the effects of occlusal trauma on the integrity of the human dental pulp and the surrounding hard tissue structures. 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.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Evaluate the typical clinical presentation, signs, symptoms, radiographic features, and the pathophysiological course of traumatic occlusion.
- Perform systematic analysis of the occlusal trauma and treatment plan the cases on evidence based manner.
- Discuss the studies that show the negative effect of occlusal trauma on the dental pulp, dentin, and cementum.
