Failing Before Starting: When NOT to do Endodontics
Topic:Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the variables that exist prior to endodontic treatment which may contribute to non-healing.
2. Explain the variables which may be present that may decrease the prognosis for a tooth requiring endodontic treatment.
2. Discuss the reasons for the lack of endodontic healing based on an improper prognosis assessment.
4. Describe the subjective and objective findings of root fractures as they may relate to the tooth and associated periodontal structures.It’s a fact: perfect endodontic treatment can sometimes be unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the lack of healing can often be attributed to an inadequate preliminary diagnosis or an improper prognosis assessment. Dr. Berman will systematically review the many variables that should be taken into consideration before the bur ever hits the tooth, including endodontic case assessment, periodontal concerns, tooth restorability, and the detection and prediction of the presence of root fractures. After this presentation, you will never look at pending endodontic treatment the same way again.
One hour and 30 minute lecture.

Dental Traumatology
Topic:Learning Objectives:
1. Assess a traumatic injury to the teeth and associated soft tissues.
2. Evaluate and manage crown and root fractures, with and without pulp exposures, for mature and immature teeth.
3. Evaluate and manage luxation and avulsion injuries for mature and immature teeth.Dental Traumatology is the branch of dentistry that encompasses the epidemiology, etiology, prevention, assessment, diagnosis and management of trauma to the jaws and surrounding tissues. These injuries are typically quick, sudden, and unexpected; this is why clinicians must be prepared to render appropriate emergency care at any time. Dr. Berman will present an evidence- based and common sense approach to clinically managing every phase of dental traumatology, including crown fractures, root fractures, luxations and avulsions. Other related topics such as resorption and prevention will be discussed.
One hour and 30 minute lecture.
