“The Papilla"
 
Summary: The apicocoronal position of the papilla is critical to positive gingival aesthetics. Endodontists perform procedures every day that may affect this important tissue. In this lecture, the factors relating to the size, shape, and presence of the papilla as they relate to both teeth and implants will be discussed.
  
Topics:

1) The aesthetic importance of the papilla.  
2) Biological factors affecting papilla.
3) Restorative factors affecting papilla.

 
Learning Objectives: 
  1. Understand the anatomy and function of the papilla.
  2. Understand how variations in supporting structures of the teeth and implants affect the papilla.
  3. Understand how variations in dental hard tissues and restorations affect the papilla.

“What is Normal? CBCT and Apical Periodontitis."
 
The use of CBCT as a diagnostic tool has become mainstream in specialist and general practice endodontics. Although efforts have been made, our literature fails to address a number of fundamental issues, particularly regarding the diagnosis of apical periodontitis on CBCT.
  
Topics:

This brief essay will address a number of limitations of CBCT research, utilizing the author’s own published paper as a learning example and revise concepts regarding studies of diagnostic accuracy including sensitivity, specificity, and ROC curves.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Understand the limitations of previously published endodontic CBCT research
  2. Revise issues surrounding studies of diagnostic accuracy
  3. Reinforce concepts such as sensitivity/specificity and the use of ROC curves

“Dynamic Guided Surgery"
 
Endodontic Microsurgery is a treatment option for teeth with persistent periapical pathology. Modern microsurgical techniques developed after the introduction of the Dental Operating Microscope have shown to provide better results when compared to traditional ones.

The use of CBCT imaging helps the clinician to reach a more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment planning. Recently, computer-aided techniques based on the use of three-dimensional (3D) cone-beam computed tomography have been developed in different disciplines in medicine and dentistry to also guide the clinician during treatment. The use of these techniques has many potential benefits:

  • Less invasive treatment
  • Higher accuracy than free-hand techniques
  • Lower risk of iatrogenic damage
  • Reduced chair time, less morbidity and faster recovery
  • Increased ergonomy

To date, 2 different approaches to computer-aided techniques have been described: static and dynamic navigation.

The static techniques use a pre-designed guide, which is placed on the patient’s mouth during treatment. These guides, usually made of laboratory resin, contain one or several openings designed for the use of drills/trephines, which allow a precise osteotomy.

In the dynamic techniques, the patient’s jaw is registered on the CBCT image, providing real-time guidance to the surgeon. Thanks to this live feedback on the screen, the surgeon can verify the position and angulation of the drill. It also allows him to change the treatment plan if necessary while always the following guidance from the computer.

During this presentation, I will describe the use of dynamic surgical navigation in different situations during endodontic microsurgery.

  
Topics: Dynamic Surgical Navigation in Endodontic Microsurgery
 
Learning Objectives: 
  1. Describe Dynamic Surgical Navigation
  2. List the different applications of Dynamical Surgical Navigation in Endodontic Microsurgery
  3. Describe how this technique is used in different clinical situations

“Clinical cases spanning 40 years from a private practice"
 
Although survival of teeth is the goal of endodontics, often the primary focus of treatment is conformity with the endodontic triad: clean, shape, obturate. My experience over the last 9 years in private practice has led me to rethink these clinical objectives. Seeing recalls of patients treated in my family’s endodontic practice over the past 40 years has been a confusing, yet enlightening experience.  Survival of teeth labeled with a guarded prognosis, failure in perfectly treated teeth, and long term retention of teeth with severe treatment deficiencies and radiolucent periapical findings have caused me to challenge existing paradigms.   This presentation will review selected cases from a 40-year-old endodontic practice, explore them in-depth, and arrive at conclusions by which parameters for accurate outcome prognostication can be based.
  
Topics:

1) Tooth survival as it relates to patient-centered, disease-centered, and process-centered outcome parameters. 
2) Retention of teeth with “guarded” or “poor” prognosis. 
3) Failure of technically superior endodontic treatment. 

 
Learning Objectives: 
  1. Revisit clinical cases and techniques performed in the 1970s and 1980s
  2. Understand why traditional process-centered and biologic-centered outcomes may not be good predictors of tooth survival.
  3. Understand why patient-related and other factors outside of the clinician’s control may have the greatest impact on tooth survival.
