By MAHMOUD TORABINEJAD, D.M.D., M.S.D., Ph.D.
Many advances have been made in the surgical endodontics in the past few years that have increased the feasibility and predictability of this procedure to save natural dentition. These include enhanced magnification and illumination, ultra- sonic tips, micro instruments, newer root-end filling materials, and the use of cone beam computed tomography. In this lecture the presenter will discuss the do’s and don’ts of endodontic microsurgery before, during and after this procedure. They include do’s and don’ts during treatment planning, record keeping, do’s and don’ts during anesthesia, flap design, ostectomy, root end resection, root end cavity preparation, root end filling and suturing as well as post operative instructions and complications. The primary objective of this lecture is not to teaches the attendees how to perform endodontic microsurgery, but provide them with pitfalls of this procedure from diagnosis to prognosis and discuss the latest science and technology behind the various aspects of this procedure.
Objectives:
After attending this lecture, the participant should be able to:
- Elaborate the do’s and don’ts during treatment planning, and record keeping,
- Discuss the do’s and don’ts during anesthesia, flap design, ostectomy, root end resection, root end cavity preparation, root end filling and suturing and
- State the do’s and don’ts regarding post operative instructions and complications..
