Updates in Endodontics: An Echo Lecture of the 19th Biennial European Society of Endodontology Congress

The practice of endodontics has undergone numerous technological advancements these past years. These changes have been thoroughly discussed in the various lectures in the recently concluded 19th Biennial European Society of Endodontology Congress held last 11-14 September 2019. This lecture aims to share the extensive changes in the diagnosis of endodontic problems, access cavity preparation designs, working length determination, root canal disinfection, obturation and the restoration of endodontically-treated teeth. In addition, autotransplantation as a management for traumatic dento-alveolar injuries will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

To present the improvements in endodontic practice during the various phases of root canal therapy
To describe the different anatomic variations of the pulp as a challenge to root canal treatment
To discuss various clinical management strategies to improve root canal disinfection and obturation
To present the impact of dento-alveolar trauma and tooth transplantation as a management for such cases

Dr. Nyongesa recently completed his Residency Program in Endodontics at the University of the East, Philippines (2019). He earned his BDS degree in 2010 (Kenya).
He has published several articles in peer-reviewed journals nationally and internationally.
His major areas of scientific research interest includes: Root canal morphology, Endodontic instruments and materials science, Endodontic Microsurgery, Endodontic therapy outcome and epidemiology, Endodontic materials and applications.
Dr. Nyongesa has received numerous awards including the David B. Scott Fellowship from the International Association of Dental Research (IADR-2010) and the University of the East’s Presidential Certificate of Recognition (2019) for exemplary performance in inter-school competitions, Manila Philippines.

From Cheers to Tears and Back: A Tale of 4 Iatrogenic Instrument Separation Events and their Management

Instrument breakage remains one of the most frustrating and tragic events that we have to face in our daily practices. Instrument fracture immediately hinders the clinician from performing further treatment, and thus the outcome of the treatment will be compromised.
This lecture will present 4 cases of a separated instrument that were managed via microsonic approach and also summarize the literature involved in this field.
In addition, the speaker will elaborate on a decision-making process for managing separated instruments.

Learning Objectives:

To make the best decision while managing separated instruments
To systematically discuss treatment options for separated instruments
To explain the use of microsonic technique to retrieve instruments
To incorporate the microsonic technique in their day to day practice for the predictable management of separated instruments

Frederick Weboko Ikhabi, BDS, MScd-Endodontics

Dr. Fredrick Weboko Ikhabi holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Surgery from the University of Nairobi, Kenya.
He recently completed MScD Endodontics at the University of the East, Philippines.
He has 10 years, experience in general dentistry, working at two different government hospitals in Kenya and equally serving with distinction as the head of department.
Assistant lecturer at Moi University School of Dentistry in Kenya since 2014, Department of Conservative Dentistry and Prosthetics.
His main interest is in dental education and research. He has always been fascinated by teaching systems that dental schools employ. Dr. Ikhabi believes that they have a great impact on the transformation of dental students to clinicians.

Making the Crooked Straight: Non-Surgical Endodontic Revision, Can We Really Vanquish the Impediments?

When initial endodontic treatment fails to promote healing, the treatment options to save the tooth include non-surgical retreatment with or without apical surgery, apical surgery and intentional replantation. If the tooth is periodontally stable, with adequate remaining tooth structure and no detectable vertical fractures and access to the root canal system is feasible, non-surgical retreatment is usually the primary treatment option.

During revision, a number of obstacles will be encountered and must be overcome in order to have a successful outcome. These include coronal restorations, posts, pins and root filling materials. In addition, the failure of the endodontic treatment could have resulted from inadequate shaping and filling due to ledges created or separated instruments.

After disassembly of restorations post and core materials and the removal of all caries, tooth restorability must be determined. Thereafter the existing root filling material must be removed. Moreover, obstacles that prevent obtaining correct working length, cleaning, shaping and filling canals to correct length must be addressed for a successful revision.

Revision procedures are usually more difficult to perform than those used in the initial treatment. They frequently require advanced instrumentation, magnification systems, and special training.

Learning Objectives:

To highlight the causes of endodontic failure
To outline the indication and contraindications of non-surgical endodontic revision
To discuss the impediments likely to be encountered during non-surgical endodontic revision
To discuss how the impediments can be overcome in order to have a successful non-surgical endodontic revision
