Abstract:
The clinical success of posterior composite resins restorations depends greatly on attention t details on each of the steps required to prepare, applied, cure and finish the restoration,
The key factors in direct composite resin restorations in the posterior, including isolation, matrix systems, light curing and placement methods. Successful implementation of these key elements is essential for survivability of posterior composite restorations.

ENDODONTICS COURSE
Reciprocation or Continuous Rotation with Heat Treated NiTi Files, What to Choose in Curved Ande Calcified Canals?
Date: 30 June 2021
Time: 09:00 – 13:00
Venue: Novotel World Trade Centre Hotel – DIAMOND ROOM
Registration Fee: AED 790

Abstract:
The main purpose of the course is to discuss the new technology in design and manufacturing of NiTi files, in regards of improvement in safety and security, in shaping complex root canal situations. After a short classification of NiTi files according to manufacturing process, we will interpret the results of a number of research papers and help understand the advantages of state-of-the-art NiTi files. The author will describe the dynamics and technique to shape safely curved and calcified canals, using continuous rotating and reciprocating files.
Introduction:
The success of endodontic therapy is based essentially on cleaning the root canal system, which inevitably requires an enlargement of the root canal space, to allow to disinfecting solutions, reach all areas of the canal. Shaping calcified and curved canals are challenging, it requires the respect of the original trajectory and the security in preventing the fracture of the shaping file. The Flexibility and the cyclic fatigue are detrimental factors to maintain the integrity of the file while shaping canals. New manufacturing processes of NiTi wires have led to an important level of preventing file separation. The objective of this presentation is to discuss the importance and understanding the physical properties. We will also describe the operator’s role in establishing optimal conditions of shaping in respect of security and safety.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the difficulties of shaping the root canal, and the risks of deformation or perforation due to curvatures and degree of calcification.
- Classify NiTi files, and identify the physical properties of advanced technology and manufacturing, to match the needs of security and safety while shaping canals.
- Describe the advantages of kinematics, reciprocating and continuous rotation of NiTi files.
- Discuss the security and safety of glide path preparation prior to using the shaping files.
- Explain the design and clinical use of two types of files, WaveOne Gold and ProTaper Gold.
Who should attend:
- General Practitioners
- Specialists

Abstract:
The treatment of esthetic areas has received a great deal of attention since the turn of the century. The constant search for a natural, harmonious and pleasant smile clearly reflects the fact that there are more-demanding and better-informed patients. An accurate knowledge of facial topography and the dynamics how the patient performs their basic oral is essential and must form the basis of any analysis of the intraoral aspects.
Introduction:
The presentation discusses strategies of how to relate appropriately facial and intraoral aspects. In facial analysis, images can be vital for diagnostic development and the preparation of a treatment plan. The use of images/photography in which the patient exhibits lips parted in a resting position is essential for determining the best length and exposure of upper incisors at the end of treatment. The use of facial photographs allows a better identification of potential discrepancies associated with esthetic sites. Soft-tissue esthetics represents a constant challenge for the clinician and its accomplishments requires a differentiated preoperative individualized treatment plan, followed by a meticulous execution of each of the proposes steps in order to limit potential errors
