Endodontic Microsurgery: Evidence Based, Hands-on and Live Surgery Demo 2018

Endodontic Microsurgery: Evidence Based, Hands-on and Live Surgery Demo is organized by UCLA School of Dentistry and will be held during Jun 22 - 24, 2018 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 22 CDE Credits.

This course will allow participants to engage in hands-on laboratory exercises on simulated surgical models. In addition, live patient endodontic microsurgery will be performed to allow real-time interaction between the participants and the operator.

Learning Objectives are :
• Understand the etiology of periradicular pathosis of endodontic origin
• Understand the concepts and techniques of hemostasis in apical surgery
• Understand the concepts behind different flap designs suitable for apical surgery
• Understand the selection criteria for proper surgical cases with predictable outcomes
• Participants will acquire knowledge and skills in apical tissue excavation, root end resection, retro preparation and retro filling using bioactive materials.
• Participants will learn to use specific surgical instruments and ergonomics for optimal positioning of patients and the operator
• Understand the indications and techniques for the use of bone grafting and barrier usage
• Participants will acquire suturing skills for different flap designs

Workshop Exercises :
• Full thickness marginal and submarginal flaps
• Root end resection and excavation of apical granulation tissue
• Retro-preparation with ultrasonic instruments
• Root end filling with MTA and Bioceramic putty
• Bone grafting and membrane placement
• Tissue adaptation and suturing techniques

Registrations 30 days prior to course start dates are eligible for a 10% early registration discount (unless otherwise noted).
