“Treatment planning dilemmas for Endodontic Complex Cases” Professor Giuseppe Cantatore

This presentation is dedicated to the Endodontists who still believe that saving our patient’s teeth should be our duty and our mission even in the presence of particularly complex cases. The presentation will be divided in 3 Parts, each of them documented with X-rays, CBCT Scans and HD Videos.

1. Part 1: “Treatment of traumatized teeth in young patients.”
Clinical cases of permanent teeth in young patients who suffered trauma will be presented. The treatment plan in these cases can be difficult and highly variable depending on: age of the patient, formation of the root apex, presence of external or internal resorptions, presence of vital or necrotic pulp, presence of periapical radiolucency, type of trauma etc.…. The use of CBCT, operating microscope and bioceramic materials can help to successfully face these clinical cases even if the outcomes are not always predictable given the importance of the patient's individual response.

2. Part 2: Relations between Endodontic Failures and missed canals.
In this presentation the importance of the untreated canal spaces as one of the main reasons of the endodontic failures will be discussed on the basis of the E.B. Literature. Operative sequences for disassembling and removal old endodontic obturation and for locating and negotiating the missed canals will be exposed. Since retreatment often fail because of our inability to remove all the remnants of the primary treatment, we will exam various techniques to improve the detersion and disinfection of the root canal system. Finally, it will be demonstrated, with various clinical cases, the importance of the CBCT and of additional software based on the CBCT DICOM files, to understand the reasons of the endodontic failures and locate the untreated canal space.

3. Part 3: Treatment of difficult Root Canal Systems.
This lecture will start with an exam of the techniques for treating teeth with calcified canals. These canals represent a real challenge for Endodontists. However, with prudence and with the help of the Microscope, adequate ultrasonic tips and CBCT, many severely calcified canals can be successfully treated. The second part of this lecture will be dedicated to the presentation of clinical cases with complex Root Canal Systems, from “Dens Invaginatus” type 2 and 3 to mandibular premolars with bifurcated or trifurcated canals. For each of these cases the treatment planning will be discussed with participants.

What will the audience take away from your presentation:

1. Different operating protocols to treat the traumatized teeth of young patients.
2. Differences between the available Bioceramic Materials: indications, limits; what is better to use in different clinical situations and why.
3. Operating protocols to treat the teeth with open apex and necrotic pulp.
4. How the missed canals affect the outcomes of endodontic therapies.
5. Irrigation protocols to optimize the detersion/disinfection in retreatment cases.
6. A classic protocol to treat severely calcified canals.
7. Basic principles of guided endodontics to create micro-access to the calcified canals.
8. Treatment planning in cases of “Dens Invaginatus” type II and III
9. Treatment Planning in mandibular bifurcated premolars.
