Introduction:

Dental impaction confronts the practitioner with a serious challenge. Timely treatment for dental impaction is important. Precise diagnosis, an accurate treatment plan coupled with forced eruption using light forces are important to achieve the desired long term results.

The lecture and hands-on workshop will focus on diagnosis, how to choose between different approaches of exposure, open and closed eruption skills, the recent traction procedures and how to get the benefits from mini implants in deep impactions especially canines and molars.

Interdisciplinary care for the orthodontic management of impacted teeth provides a holistic method of treating patients. Careful planning is necessary to reach the desired treatment goals. The lecture and workshop attempts to highlight the importance of diagnosis and adequate treatment planning for successful eruption of impacted teeth to improve the bone morphology around the impacted teeth for better prognosis.

The hands-on workshop will focus on the uses of different tools in traction, application of chains, ligature, traction loops and piggyback technique step by step.

The lecture will be followed by cases discussion of different impaction types including centrals, canines, premolars and molars. Tips and tricks for every situation.

Learning objectives:

• Localization techniques of the impacted teeth
• The importance of the eruption technique on the gingival final outcome.
• Anchorage importance during impacted teeth traction and how to achieve
• How to deal with horizontally impacted cases
• The efficiency of mini implants in tough impactions.

Abstract:
Cleaning and shaping are important components in the treatment of root canal system. It is more correctly to say shaping and cleaning as it reflects the fact that enlarged root canals direct and facilitate cleaning action of irrigants and removal of infected dentin.

Different anatomical and histological studies have demonstrated complexity of root canal anatomy therefore manufacturers compete to provide clinicians with different rotary files that can deliver treatment safely with favorable outcome.

Each rotary system has its unique features in term of cross section, cutting edges, tip design, taper, heat treatment, mass of rotation, rotation direction, and the method of use.

Introduction:
Successful root canal treatment is based on: establishing an accurate diagnosis and developing an appropriate treatment plan; applying knowledge of tooth anatomy and morphology (shape); and performing the debridement, disinfection, and obturation of the entire root canal system.

Evidence has shown that the success of endodontic therapy strongly depends on proper shaping and cleaning of the root canal system before three-dimensional filling. Whereas shaping is primarily aimed at cutting infected dentin and enlarging the root canal space, cleaning mainly consists at removing endodontic pathogens and remaining debris (irritants).

Moreover, Morphologic factors such as lateral and accessory canals, canal curvatures, canal wall irregularities, fins, cul-de-sacs and ishmuses make total debridement virtually impossible. Therefore, the goal of cleaning is not total elimination of the irritants but it is to reduce the irritants.

Currently, several simplified shaping procedures based on the use of a single file along have been launched in the market. Among these are the single file with the adaptive technology introduced for cleaning and shaping root canal system. The unique features are cross section, cutting edges, tip design, taper, heat treatment, mass of rotation, rotation direction, and the method of use.

Abstract:

The one day course will constitute an amalgam between evidence based lecturing and hands-on training.

The lecture will be an in-depth over view of the steps in chronological order starting from planning all the way to delivery and post-op. This course is specially designed to highlight the laboratory steps that are often overlooked by dental education. In the hands-on, the participants will experience how to design different tooth preparations and provisionalization.

In addition, simplified digital smile design will be demonstrated using alternative cost effective techniques.

Introduction:

Ceramic veneer treatments start with careful planning (case selection, examination, wax-up) followed by multiple clinical and laboratory steps. Many of these steps are technique sensitive, interdependent, and case specific.

Technique sensitivity refers to some of the delicate processes such as bonding and adjustments of the very thin fragile veneers. With accurate bonding protocols, veneers can stay in place for a long time. However, the slightest contamination at bonding or misplacement of the veneer can result in an early failure and de-bonding.

The steps of veneer treatments are, just as in most Prosthodontic treatments, are highly interdependent. A mistake in preparation design can manifest later as a failure in aesthetics or mechanical failure. For example, if the tooth is very discoloured and the preparation is very minimal then the resulting aesthetics will be compromised.

Lastly, these treatments are case specific. The process of planning and executing veneers has to be case-by-case customized. For example mechanically speaking, a 30 year old heavily built bruxer will require a different preparation design than a 50 year old non bruxer.

Learning objectives:

• Plan veneer treatment cases
• Execute precise preparation and impression and provisionalization techniques
• Execute proper bonding
• Take pre and post intra and extra oral photos
• Design proper occlusion

Abstract
Direct posterior resin composite has become a solution for many obstacles that face the practitioners in their daily practice.

Nowadays, Modern adhesive restorative dentistry offers immediate restoration of defected tooth, bringing it in to anatomical, functional and esthetical harmony.

Yet, it is important to understand how we can deal with the material in terms of getting the maximum benefits and overcome its drawbacks. The aim of this workshop is getting through the work flow necessary for mastering direct restoration of posterior teeth following recent and updated scientific evidence.

Introduction:

Dental esthetics and minimal invasiveness have become increasingly important during the last decade when considering diagnosis and treatment planning.

Nowadays, Composite resins occupy a paramount position among restorative materials because they offer excellent aesthetic potential and acceptable longevity with a much lower cost than equivalent ceramic restorations for the treatment of both anterior and posterior teeth.

In addition, composite restorations allow for minimally invasive preparations or no preparation at all when assuming the replacement of decayed or missing tissue becoming a popular alternative to the more traumatizing prosthetic restorations.

Learning objectives:
1. Apply the modern concepts of minimal invasive dentistry
2. Select the most appropriate cavity design during preparation of the posterior teeth
3. Chase the best available evidence in literature about recently proposed protocols for durable bonding outcomes.
4. Select the resin composite system that fits the working style of the operator.
5. Apply a more predictable finishing and polishing protocol to obtain a highly esthetic restoration.

Abstract:

Differences in mechanical properties between endodontic instruments might be related to the chemical composition, phase constitution, or manufacturing process.

An awareness and knowledge of the mechanical properties of NiTi endodontic files and their association with the metallurgical properties is useful for clinicians to understand the behaviour of NiTi instruments in root canals and help them to make decisions regarding which instruments are appropriate for root canal therapy under certain clinical conditions.

In this course, we will explore- in clinical platform- the mechanical properties of NiTi endodontic instruments including the flexibility, torsional resistance, flexural resistance, and cyclic fatigue of the conventional super elastic NiTi instruments and the most recently developed novel NiTi instruments with martensitic files with special emphasis on One Curve.

Enhanced clinical utilization of this martensitic file-one curve- will be presented in a heavy multi-media presentation.

Introduction:

The first NiTi file was introduced to the market in 1991. Superelasticity and shape memory are the properties that make Niti files very flexible.

The high flexibility of Niti files makes them superior to stainless steel files for the purpose of rotary root canal preparation.

The use of NiTi rotary files in dentistry is a common practice.

Learning objectives:

• Discuss the limitation of the traditional rotary NiTi files
• Enumerate the procedural errors caused by traditional rotary NiTi files and have a mental image of how it could be prevented
• Outline the advantages of manufacturing rotary NiTi files in a martensitic form and address the ideal requirements in such a file
• Enumerate and clinically correlate the properties and procedural details of One curve
• Acquire skills in preparing a 3D printed tooth with the One Curve technology
