Endodontics Then & Now
Topic:
Endodontics Then and now: 35 Years in Retrospect
This lecture will focus on the treatment planning and biologic approach to endodontics that has evolved as a part of a multidisciplinary care of patients.
Philosophy of treatment is based on the following three concepts:
- Confidence
- Communication
- Competency
Confidence defines how the practitioner feels about themselves and the way patients feel about their dentists. Communication is always established between the patient and doctor, and this relationship is based on respect, friendship and total loyalty. Competency is driven by biology and a complete understanding of the masticatory system in health and disease. The patient’s desire to follow through with all recommendations, maintenance and treatment will be discussed.
Recognizing endodontics is predictable 97 percent of the time is important in developing the confidence to provide health and success to our patients. Times have changed and we will address the changes that endodontics has undergone. This presentation will conclude with where we are today and what the future holds for the specialty.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the audience will have a confident set of guidelines to follow in achieving a predictable and successful endodontic result when compared with the alternatives. The basics are still in place, and the determination to satisfy the patient’s needs and functions are still the goal of endodontists. As a team, we can achieve long-lasting results.
Three-hour to one half-day lecture.
