Prostho/Endo: The Fork in the Road: Part 1 and Part 2

Course Description

General or specialist dental practitioners face challenges when making critical decisions on whether treatment of an extensively broken tooth should include endodontic and crown therapy versus performing an extraction followed by implant placement.

Both paths have risks and benefits – how should you choose?

During this course, there will be a discussion of the challenges practitioners face, supported by evidence-based literature review, when making these important decisions.

We’ll also explore answers to questions such as:

• What is the definition of a successful endodontic treatment?
• What is a successful implant restorative treatment?
• Can we compare and contrast the two approaches?
• What are the crucial elements and factors that must be ascertained in the diagnostic phase before any clinical treatment takes place?

Part 1 of the course will thoroughly review diagnosis, treatment planning, protocols and processes necessary for appropriate decision-making with respect to this complex problem.

Part 2 will be a discussion on case presentations using the learned principles from Part I and use of CBCT images as a diagnostic tool in the assessment process and treatment planning phase.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this event participants should be able to:

• Understand the seven guidelines that are an essential and mandatory part of the diagnosis and
  treatment planning of any implant restoration
• Assess and analyze which teeth are more likely to survive and which teeth should be extracted and restored with implants
• Perform a quick analysis of a single-tooth diagnostic problem to determine if an implant alternative is even feasible
• Have a thorough understanding of diagnostic challenges and be able to present a patient with options of whether to restore or extract
• Perform a complete dental exam of the patient as it relates to endodontic treatment or implant treatment
• Implement a protocol and process for making these diagnostic and treatment planning decisions in their practices
• Recognize the red flags associated with cases that are likely to have problems with a high concomitant failure rate
