Complex Cases in Endodontics. Original Program Created by Michael Solomonov

Complex Cases in Endodontics. Original Program Created by Michael Solomonov is organized by OHI-S.

Total Lecture Time: 10h 53 min

Description:
A unique opportunity to learn ONLINE numerous original protocols developed by Michael Solomonov for performing effective and successful endodontic treatment in complex cases: management of the canals with broken instruments, C-shaped canals and MB2 and many other clinical situations.

Skills I will learn in the course
Endodontics:

• Treatment methods:
  • Conservative endodontics
  • Extraction of broken file from root canal
• Pathologies:
  • Perforations of root canals
  • Complex root canals
  • Root canals with a ledge
  • MB2
  • C-shaped root canals

Lesson 1.Sealers: various modalities of application

– Selection of a sealer type in different clinical scenarios

– Types of sealers and indications for their use

– Epoxide-amine sealers vs calcium silicate-based sealers : overview and performance comparison

– The algorithm for selection of a sealer in cases of:

- treatment of vital and non-vital teeth

- treatment in one or two appointments

- perforations and different types of root resorption

- treatment of teeth with open apices.

– Comprehensive presentation of numerous clinical cases.

Recommended for: Endodontists.

Lesson 2.To treat or not to treat

– Challenges in decision making process in clinical practice

– Imaging techniques: complexity assessment tool

– Limitations of 2-dimensional radiographic evaluation

– Tissue healing after finished treatment: timing and causes of prolonged healing period

– Differential diagnoses with non-odontogenic conditions

– The concept of “functioning tooth".

Recommended for: Endodontists.

Lesson 3.Treatment options in cases with broken instruments inside the root canal

– A broken instrument: causes and treatment strategy

– Causes that could lead to the fracture of stainless steel and nickel-titanium instruments

– Torsion and cyclic fatigue

– Prevention and risk factors of instruments fracture in the root canals

– Removal attempts and bypassing of broken fragments: technical and clinical tips and tricks, tools and instruments

– Biology and biomechanics vs. mechanics and marketing

– Evidence based approach to broken instruments removal

– Original approach in cases with a broken instrument.

Recommended for: Endodontists.

Lesson 4.Obliterated (calcified) canals: diagnostic and treatment planning

– Etiological factors of calcification:

- trauma

- revascularization

- age-related changes

- orthodontic treatment

- vital pulp therapy

- occlusal trauma

- vital bleaching.

– Calcifications: types and consequences for the treatment strategy

– Challenges in diagnostic of the pulp status

– Indications for treatment of the calcified canals

– Tooth discoloration: problem solving procedures

– Decision making criteria for orthograde root canal treatment and/or endodontic microsurgery

– The use of CBCT data for diagnostics and treatment planning.

Recommended for: Endodontists.

Lesson 5.Obliterated (calcified) canals: treatment protocols

– Prevention of the loss of tooth structures

– Guided endodontics: static and dynamic navigation

– Drills and ultrasonic tips for orifice scouting: indications

– Instrumentation technique in cases of calcified canals: instruments and methods for bypassing ledges

– Original insights and know how, tips and tricks, clinical cases analysis.

Recommended for: Endodontists.

Lesson 6.MB2 in the life of an endodontist

– Prevalence ,Incidence,Symmetry and Clinical reality

– Primary root canal treatment vs retreatment

– Possible configurations and Topographical leads

– Analyses of Periapical X-rays and CBCTs

– Clinical tips and tricks

– Literature review and Clinical cases.

Recommended for: Endodontists.

Lesson 7.Extreme in endodontics or C-root canals

– Melton and Fan classifications

– Anatomic features: cross section, diameter, danger zones

– Unexpected findings, urban legends and real dangers

– Clinical and radiographic hints for early or late identification

– Problems of instrumentation, cleaning and obturation and different solutions depending on variable armamentarium at clinic’s disposal

– Scrubbing instruments as possible choice

– Scientific researches and clinical experience

– Hard choice of post endodontic tooth restoration

– Cases, cases, cases.

Recommended for: Endodontists.
