Synopsis: In today’s focus on patient-centred outcomes, the ultimate goal is lifelong retention of teeth. For endodontics other goals are for example the management of acute dental pain and of course healing of apical periodontitis. The European Society of Endodontology (ESE) recently published in-depth evidence and consensus-based guidelines that addressed which clinical approach is most effective, based on clinical presentation and diagnosis. This course will look at some of the specific recommendations provided by the S3 guidelines, relevant to the Trans-Tasman practice context. The second part of the course will provide an update on what current technology can do for clinicians to optimize the desired outcomes. Specifically, we will discuss diagnosis, indications for and approach to vital pulp therapy as well as procedural challenges and their management in root canal treatment. Contemporary materials and technology, such as calcium silicate-based sealers, flexible and dentine-preserving instruments and new motors will be highlighted. Collectively the course will provide interested clinicians with an updated view of what is achievable in endodontics. |
