Abstract:

This presentation will provide knowledge for bone augmentation using biomaterials. New concepts and clinical outcomes will be show, scientific data with follow up and large samples

Introduction:

Even today, many cases are challenging and few publications show long-term results for bone augmentation. Furthermore, there is no consensus on the use of biomaterials or comparative studies among the different options available.
Many techniques are available and there are many different defects and types of complications, when combined, make it difficult to plan and implement the best option treatment to the bone defects, leading to failure and increased morbidity. Furthermore, the search for faster, simpler and less morbidity treatment is desirable. Biomaterials plus new techniques and concepts can be the solution to these issues.

Abstract:

The root canal shaping is a crucial procedure in the success of primary and secondary root canal treatment to achieve a good disinfection and ensure the longevity of treatment with a proper seal of the root canal system.
The shaping must respect the original anatomy in easy and complex cases with progressive or abrupt curvatures. Heat treated NiTi files has proven their ability to create minimal canal transportation, ledges and file separation during canal preparation. During this presentation, we will discuss a system that creates the shape and resistance form, with improved irrigation and 3 dimensional obturation while being conservative.

Introduction:

The endodontic anatomy is complex, with curvatures in different planes, anastomosis, isthmus, lateral and accessory canals. The shaping procedure that will provide the optimal cleaning of the system and a 3-dimensional seal, should be done with the absolute respect of this anatomy. Any iatrogenic error such as ledges, canal transportation, instrument separation or perforation will decrease drastically the long-term prognosis of the tooth. Therefore, it is essential to perform this procedure with the proper flexible, efficient and resistant to fracture instruments such as the recent heat-treated files. Moreover, they allow for better flexibility, improved resistance to fracture and the possibility to pre-bend the instrument with a high cutting efficiency and shortened working time. The motion will also play a role in the safe shaping of the canals; rotation, reciprocation or OTR motion will be chosen according to the specific anatomy of each case.

This presentation will focus on the smooth preparation of narrow canals, complex curved canals such as S shaped or progressive curvatures.

Learning Objectives:

• Comprehend the importance of the evaluation of the endodontic anatomy
• Comprehend that the respect of the original endodontic anatomy is a goal of the shaping even in complex cases
• Comprehend that the creation of iatrogenic damages as ledge depends on a misuse of the instrumentation and in a not correct approach to the canal
• Comprehend that a iatrogenic damages created during the shaping negatively affect the outcome of the therapy
• Comprehend the knowledge of the features of the rotary instrumentation is mandatory for its proper use

Who should attend:

• General Practitioner
• Specialists
• Dental Students

Abstract:
The presentation discusses the basics of smile analysis, planning a case of indirect Veneers and understanding the importance of Index fabrications and proper guided preparation. 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 of how the patient performs their basic oral functions – such as speaking, swallowing, and chewing – is essential and must form the basis of any analysis of intraoral aspects. Several groups around the world have developed laboratory and clinical protocols in order to predict, with a high degree of accuracy, what the result of treatment will be for the patient (i.e. for completely edentulous patients or those who will receive porcelain cemented restorations on natural teeth). The presentation discusses strategies of how to relate appropriately facial and intraoral aspects.

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 accomplishment requires a differentiated preoperative individualized treatment plan, followed by a meticulous execution of each of the proposed steps in order to limit potential errors.

Learning Objectives:

• Planning a case of veneers

Abstract:

The goal of Non-Surgical Endodontics is to carry out an effective treatment with the maximum preservation of healthy tissue in order to not weak the tooth.
The goal of complicated extraction is the removal of the impacted tooth without removing a big quantity of bone.
In both cases the use of the Ultrasounds is really useful on the preservation of healthy tissue

Introduction:

The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate the important role of the proper use of ultrasonic devices during non-surgical endodontics and oral surgery.
The main benefit of the use of these devices is that the operator can work with a free-interference vision and with more precision. The result will be the loss of less sound tissue during the removal of pulp stones or the localization of MB2 in non-surgical Endodontics, and the preservation of bone during extraction.
The setting of the devices and the availability of specific tips permit the operator to work with high precision enhancing the quality of the treatment.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding the importance to be conservative in Endodontics
• Understanding the importance to be conservative in Oral Surgery
• Understand The benefits of Ultrasounds in Endodontics

Abstract:

The primary dentition has an important role in guiding the eruption of the permanent teeth. Premature loss of primary teeth can lead to undesirable tooth movements resulting in space loss in the permanent dentition to promote favourable developmental changes. The safest way to prevent future malocclusions from tooth loss is to place a space maintainer that is effective and durable. An appropriate use of space maintainer is advocated to hold the space until the eruption of permanent teeth.
Prefabricated band and loops require only one appointment, are quickly placed in session, and do not require laboratory work; thus, they need less time and cost.
The lecture will have details of the design, technique and clinical cases followed by a video demonstration and hands on of the technique of pre formed space maintainers.

Introduction:

The primary dentition has an important role in guiding the eruption of the permanent teeth. Premature loss of primary teeth can lead to undesirable tooth movements resulting in space loss in the permanent dentition. This can have detrimental effects on the developing occlusion including crowding, impaction or ectopic eruption, over-eruption of unopposed teeth and centre line discrepancies.1
It is important to try and maintain the primary dentition in the arch until exfoliation where possible,2 however, where early loss is unavoidable this should be managed to minimise the unwanted effects on the devel­oping occlusion.3–6 Space maintainers can be used for this purpose. A laboratory space maintainer works very well, but has several disadvantages:
-It requires a second appointment.
-It increases the overhead cost to the den­tist.
-It is sometimes challenging to obtain a good impression, either because the child is difficult, or because there is a great deal of gingival tissue still remaining on the dis­tal wall of the tooth that requires a band. By contrast, chairside space maintainers are very simple to fabricate, cost-effective, one-visit procedures that are generally un­complicated, and trouble-free.

Learning Objectives:

• To evaluate and diagnose a case of space maintainers
• To explain the newer dental materials and techniques in paediatric dentistry
• To compare and critically evaluate customized and readymade technique of space maintainers
