How CBCT Transforms Diagnosis and Treatment in Endodontics

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand the fundamental principles of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and its applications in dentistry, including its role in three-dimensional imaging.
  • To recognize the clinical scenarios where CBCT is most beneficial for precise diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry, enabling improved patient outcomes.
  • To demonstrate the ability to integrate CBCT findings into treatment planning, considering patient-specific factors, to optimize treatment decisions and enhance the quality of dental care.

Specific Objective:

By the end of this lecture, participants will be able to identify specific clinical cases in dentistry where the use of CBCT technology significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning.

Reviving the Root: Exploring the Latest Techniques and Innovations in Non-surgical Endodontic Retreatment

Learning Objectives:

  • Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment Planning: After attending this lecture participants will be capable of conducting comprehensive assessments and diagnosing cases that require non-surgical endodontic retreatment. They will be able to formulate patient-specific treatment plans, considering factors such as previous treatment history and anatomical challenges.
  • Advanced Non-surgical Retreatment Techniques: Participants will gain in-depth knowledge with the latest techniques and innovations in non-surgical endodontic retreatment.
  • Optimizing Patient Outcomes: Attendees will be proficient in executing non-surgical endodontic retreatment procedures with precision, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

Specific Objective:

Participants will be able to proficiently identify and address complications in previously treated root canals, employing the latest non-surgical endodontic retreatment techniques to improve the overall health and function of the tooth while ensuring patient comfort and satisfaction.
