PCC1 - An interactive day on Education in Endodontics
Full day (09h00-17h30)
Led by: Annemarie Baaij & Casper Kruse
Speakers: Fadi Jarad, Jale Tanalp, Meric Karapinar-Kazandag, Marcel Reymus, Annemarie Baaij, Rifat Özok, Mads Dahl, Casper Kruse
We all face challenges in Endodontic Education, and deal with them in our own particular ways. During this workshop, we aim to explore the similarities and differences in our schools, share challenges and experiences, and create opportunities to learn and inspire each other. In preparation for this interactive day, we ask participants to reflect on the Education they provide, considering both personal factors and those related to the Universities and clinics they work in. You may ask yourself: What are the challenges you and your team encounter? Is there another side of the coin – do your challenges create strengths and opportunities? What creative solutions could be identified? What has worked well, and what has been less successful? Everyone’s thoughts and ideas are important, so please be prepared to share with your colleagues. We may be surprised by the challenges we share and we hope that everyone will take away something useful.
PCC2 - CBCT for the diagnosis and management of complex endodontic problems
Half day (14h00-17h00)
Led by: Shanon Patel
Speakers: Shanon Patel, Conor Durack, Simon Harvey
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an integral part for the diagnosis and management of complex Endodontic problems. The importance of CBCT in Endodontics is reflected by the ESE publishing position statements (2014, 2019) on this topic.The aim of this pre-congress is to:
PCC3 - Systematic reviews and meta-analyses: a practical workshop
Full day (09h00-17h30)
Led by: Venkateshbabu Nagendrababu & Pulikkotil Shaju Jacob
Speakers: Venkateshbabu Nagendrababu, Pulikkotil Shaju Jacob
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
Topics covered:
PCC4 - Morphometric analysis of the root canal system using micro-CT: a practical approach on how to perform measurements
Half day (14h00-17h00)
Led by: Marco Versiani
Speaker: Marco Versiani
Micro-CT, like conventional tomography, uses X-rays to create cross-sections of a 3D object that later can be used to recreate a virtual model without destroying the original model. A micro-focus X-ray source illuminates the object, and a planar detector collects magnified projection images. Based on hundreds of angular views acquired while the object rotates, a computer synthesizes a stack of virtual cross-section slices through the object. The term 'micro' is used to indicate that the pixel sizes of the cross-sections are in the micrometer range. This non-destructive method allows scrolling through the cross-sections, interpolating sections along different planes, inspect the internal structure, measure 3D morphometric parameters, create realistic visual models, with no sample preparation, no staining, and no thin slicing. Nowadays, micro-CT has been considered the most accurate laboratory tool for researching the root canal anatomy and evaluating the influence of different materials and techniques on the root canal system. This workshop is focused on providing tips and tricks to work with this technology. Basically, it aims to explain how to design an experimental research using a micro-CT system considering not only important variables related to sample selection, but also the main limitations of the method. It will be also demonstrated step-by-step how to create 3D models and how to analyse morphometric parameters including volume, surface area, and geometry, before and after the mechanical preparation of the root canal system.
PCC5 - Case-based interactive pre-congress course: Endodontic management in the traumatized permanent dentition
Half day (14h00-17h00)
Led by: Gabriel Krastl
Speakers: Gabriel Krastl, Marga Ree, Kerstin Galler
The pulp plays a central role in the management of traumatized teeth and significantly influences their longevity, particularly in severe cases. The endodontic management should aim at avoiding root canal treatment if preservation of the pulp is a realistic scenario but at the same time should be directed towards early endodontic intervention in teeth of high risk of developing infection-related root resorption.
This pre-congress course will offer an interactive case-based approach to discuss the latest guidelines on the endodontic management in the traumatized permanent dentition.
Live answers and insights from the audience through a smartphone voting tool and discussion of the results will make the session interactive and more interesting for the participants.
PCC6 - Current advances in characterization and clinical management of complex canal morphology
Half day (14h00-17h00)
Led by: Hany M. A. Ahmed
Speakers: Hany M. A. Ahmed, Gianluca Plotino, Nicola Grande
Advances in knowledge related to root and canal morphology together with subsequent root canal treatment procedures of complicated anatomical variations is continuously of a special interest to the clinician and researcher. The main purpose of this pre-congress course is to provide participants with up-to-date evidence on the characterization and clinical management of complex root and canal anatomy. The key aims are to:
PCC7 - The Tooth “Implant” : Applications and outcomes of Intentional Replantation and Autogenous Transplantation
Half day (14h00-17h00)
Led by: Shimon Friedman
Speaker: Shimon Friedman
When orthograde retreatment and apical microsurgery are considered unfeasible, when they fail to resolve persistent endodontic infection, or when the remaining tooth structure is deemed non-restorable, the tooth is usually extracted and replaced with an implant or another prosthetic device. Alternatively, when clinical conditions permit, the tooth can be extracted, manipulated extra-orally and replanted (Intentional Replantation, Surgical Extrusion), or a non-strategic tooth can be transplanted into the socket of the extracted tooth (Autogenous Transplantation). These seemingly radical but rather simple procedures offer predictably good outcomes when the biologic principles of tooth replantation are respected.
This lecture will discuss the procedures of Intentional Replantation/Transplantation in a contemporary context, as predictable means for retaining otherwise “untreatable” teeth to greatly benefit patients. Strict guidelines for case selection, a step-by-step protocol and a variety of clinical applications will be outlined and illustrated with typical cases. Reported outcomes will also be highlighted for various clinical applications of both procedures.
Learning objectives: Upon completion, the participants will be able to:
