“Reconstruction of root canal treated teeth using continuous fiber-reinforced composite"
 
 
Explore the reconstruction of root canal-treated teeth, focusing on the use of continuous fiber-reinforced composite restorations. This short essay will explore the application of long ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber in dental composite resin, with a specific emphasis on its effects on fracture resistance, crack deflection, and C-factor in root canal-treated teeth.
 
 
Major Topics:
  • What is a continuous fiber-reinforced composite resin
  • The benefits of long-polyethylene fiber use in ETT
  • Step-by-step guide for effective and precise application in ETT reconstruction  
  
Learning Objectives: 
  1. Understand the Indications for use of continuous fiber.
  2. Understand the Impact of fiber on fracture resistance, crack deflection, and C-factor
  3. Understand the intricacies of placing long-polyethylene or similar fiber

“Biomimetic Management of the Compromised Dentition"
 
In recent years it has become well accepted the direct composite resin restorations are predictable in small to medium sized cavities; similarly, the durability of full coverage crowns is well known. However, the grey area is when a cavity falls somewhere between the two: what do we do when a direct restoration would seem wildly optimistic, yet a crown overly destructive?
This lecture will explore strategies and protocols for these difficult to treat teeth and suggest evidence-based solutions.
 
 
Major Topics:
  • Immediate Dentin Sealing and Gingival Margin Elevation: the new normal.
  • Preparation designs and instrumentation for partial coverage adhesive restorations
 
Learning Objectives
  1. The “Peripheral Rim Theory” and the importance of Rainey’s Ridge and Web in
    preparation design.
  2. Minimally invasive cavity preparations. Why preservation of tooth structure is critical
    to long-term success.
  3. Marginal ridge preservation and new concepts for tunnel preps.

“External Root Resorption – A Periodontal Perspective"
 
The decision to retain or remove a tooth, and then replace it with a dental implant, can be quotidian or nerve-racking. In this presentation we will discuss the periodontal parameters that can help one make this decision.
 
 
Major Topics:
When is it appropriate to replace a tooth with a dental implant?
 
 
Learning Objectives
  1. What is the prognosis for a periodontally compromised tooth?
  2. What is the prognosis for a periodontally compromised implant?
  3. Do all teeth need to be replaced?

“Maintaining pulp vitality: A matter of invasiveness?"
 
The lecture will circle around the current debate around selective removal of carious dentin, pulpotomy, direct capping, and root-canal treatment as alternatives for managing deep caries lesions in teeth with no or minimal symptoms. It will provide an update on the current evidence landscape and critically appraise clinical versus histological outcomes in managing pulp vitality.
 
 
Learning Objectives
  1. To understand the rationale behind different excavation strategies in deep lesions.
  2. To be able to describe the technical implementation of different excavation strategies.
  3. To know the latest literature on emerging alternatives in vital pulp therapy.
