Endodontic Challenges Early Clinical Essentials TOPICS AND PRESENTERS Conservative access techniques for molars and locating canals Dr Kim Mai Dang An adequate endodontic access cavity is essential in achieving successful endodontic treatment.The ideal access cavity enables easy identification of the root canal orifices,

facilitates irrigation, debridement and obturation of the root canals, whilst conserving sound tooth structure. Management of the "Hot Pulp" in terms of pain and anxiety Dr Mark Johnstone Mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis – or “hot pulps” – can cause anxiety for both the dentist and the patient. Achieving satisfactory anaesthesia to perform palliative treatment is a challenge. Standard anaesthetic techniques may be insufficient, and alternative techniques and agents should be considered. This lecture will discuss the physiological reasons for anaesthetic failure and techniques to achieve predictable anaesthesia in irreversible pulpitis. Successful endodontics: What can or should we do about accessory/lateral canals? Dr Michael Yoon The root canal system is a complex irregular network of spaces within the root. Unfortunately, the apical foramen is not the only point of communication to the periapical tissues. The lecture will cover the clinical significance of accessory and lateral canals on periapical disease and their possible effects on treatment outcome.
LEARNING OUTCOMES At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
obtain a greater understanding of several access techniques, including conservative access, minimally invasive endodontics and orifice directed access, and their limitations and advantages in modern endodontics
develop strategies to achieve satisfactory anaesthesia in irreversible pulpitis understand supplemental anaesthetic techniques and auxiliary methods for pain control
locate the root canals, including difficult to locate orifices (MB2 understand how accessory and lateral canals can affect the - maxillary molars, second distal - mandibular molars, lingual – clinical and radiographic manifestation of periapical disease lower incisors) using armamentarium available in the dental understand whether accessory and lateral canals can influence practice
