Topic: “Managing Dental Trauma/Root Canal Treatments and Failures"
Instructor: Dr. Prashant Verma
>Meeting Description:
Session 1:
Managing dental trauma, especially in children, can be a challenge for clinicians. Lack of proper and prompt care may result in serious long-term complications.
Learning Objectives:
- Introduce resources for patients and clinicians that can be used to guide care immediately after an injury.
- Describe evidence-based guidelines for specific diagnosis and treatment of traumatic dental injuries.
- Present clinical cases that illustrate real-world decision-making criteria used for successful management of such situations.
Session 2:
Dentists routinely encounter treatment planning scenarios involving teeth with failed root canal treatments. They have to decide whether to attempt to retain the natural tooth through revision (non-surgical or surgical) of the prior treatment, or to extract and replace with an implant.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the factors that can lead to failure of root canal treatments.
- Present evidence-based comparative outcomes for each treatment option.
- Present a series of clinical cases illustrating successful management of such compromised teeth.
