OVERVIEW
33rd Annual Shankle Lecture: 1. Management of Immature Teeth with Vital and Necrotic Pulps 2. Root Canal Treatment or Dental Implant is organized by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and would be held on Mar 31, 2017 at UNC School of Dentistry, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event are Dentists. This CME conference has been approved with 6 hours of continuing education credits.
Activity Description
1. Management of immature teeth with vital and necrotic pulps:
One of the main functions of the dental pulp is formation of dentin. When the pulp undergoes pathologic changes before complete root development, normal root growth is disrupted. If the pulp is reversibly inflamed due to caries or exposure, the treatment of choice is to maintain pulp vitality by pulp capping or pulpotomy. When the pulp dies, root canal treatment is indicated. Teeth with necrotic and infected pulps are routinely treated with endodontic procedures with a high rate of long-term success.
2. Root Canal Treatment Or Dental Implant?
Advances in endosseous implants have had a significant effect on treatment planning in dentistry. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss factors involved in decision-making regarding selection of root canal treatment or dental implants.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Management of teeth with vital and necrotic pulps and open apexes:
• Enumerate the treatment options for teeth with vital pulps and open apexes
• Discuss the treatment options for teeth with necrotic pulps and open apexes
• Discuss Outcomes of these procedures
Root Canal Treatment Or Dental Implants?
• Enumerate the factors involved in treatment planning for teeth with pulp and periapical diseases
• Discuss the indications for root canal treatment and single implants
• Identify the outcomes of surgical and non-surgical root canal treatment as well as single implants
