Lecture Synopses

Louis H. Berman

Title

Failing Before Starting: When NOT to do Endodontics

Synopsis

It’s a fact! Perfect endodontic treatment can sometimes be unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the lack of healing can often be attributed to an inadequate preliminary diagnosis or an improper prognosis assessment. Dr. Berman will systematically review the many variables that should be considered before the bur ever hits the tooth, including endodontic case assessment, periodontal concerns, root fracture, root resorption, and tooth restorability. After this presentation, you will never look at pending endodontic treatment the same way again.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the variables that exist prior to endodontic treatment which may contribute to non-healing.
  • Recognize the variables that may decrease the prognosis for a tooth requiring endodontic treatment.
  • Realize the subjective and objective findings of root fractures as they may relate to the tooth and associated periodontal structures.

Title

The Use of Ultrasonics in Non-Surgical and Surgical Endodontics

Synopsis

Over the past 20 to 30 years, there has been a remarkable explosion of new technologies, tools, and materials. The most impressive was the introduction of the operating microscope and ultrasonic units with their corresponding tips. The operating microscope provides a better view due to its high magnification and coaxial illumination. Ultrasonics, especially when used with the microscope, allows operations to be performed with much precision, unlike before.

Ultrasonics have numerous applications, both in non-surgical and surgical endodontics. Ultrasonic vibrations can be used to remove dental crowns, posts, to finish access cavities, and to remove calcifications from the pulp chamber floor. Finding the mesio-buccal canal (MB2) of maxillary molars has become extremely easier with the new ultrasonic tips available on the market today. These tips cut like diamond burs, but at the same time, they are much more delicate. The removal of separated instruments from the root canals has become easier, less time-consuming, and more predictable. In surgical endodontics, the new ultrasonic tips enable the preparation of the retrograde cavity to be aligned axially with the root canal, facilitate the removal of the old root canal filling material, and attain a clean cavity throughout 360 degrees faster and more efficiently.

By using these instruments, non-surgical and surgical retreatment of endodontic failures can be done more efficiently, predictably, and with a higher success rate.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Make a correct treatment plan for surgical and non-surgical endodontics.
  • Appreciate the advantages of working at higher magnification.
  • Recognize the numerous advantages of using ultrasonic tips rather than burs.

Stanley F. Malamed

Title

Overview of Modern Local Anesthesia Agents and In-Depth Look at Articaine, a Most Intriguing Local Anesthetic for Endodontics

Synopsis

Modern local anesthesia agents allow the clinician to perform root canal procedures with a high degree of patient comfort. Articaine, introduced in the USA in 2000, has now become the most used local anesthetic in dentistry. Dr. Malamed presents an in-depth look into this local anesthetic, comparing it to other common local anesthetics, and discussing its clinical advantages as well as looking at the ‘controversy’ concerning its use by ‘mandibular block’ and paresthesia.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the goals of Endodontic obturation.
  • Recognize current techniques and technology for achieving successful obturation, including their advantages and disadvantages.
  • Discuss potential future goals and directions for improving endodontic obturation and overall patient care.

Terrel F. Pannkuk

Title

Nonsurgical Management of Root Resorptions

Synopsis

Root resorption has been historically regarded as an exotic, rare presentation in dental practice. However, it occurs quite frequently. Four main theories on pathogenesis have been proposed. Dr. Pannkuk will discuss these theories and the confusion associated with different resorption descriptors: internal, external, inflammatory, replacement, and extracanal invasive (EIR) types. Management of EIR from a nonsurgical approach will be highlighted. Case histories with long-term recalls monitored up to 18 years will be shown. Management strategies, CBCT mapping, and options assessment will be highlighted, emphasizing the differences between root repair materials and research. Extensive documentation with clinical microphotos, CT imaging, and conventional radiography will be demonstrated.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the underlying biological mechanisms that lead to root resorption.
  • Recognize the different types of root resorption defects.
  • Choose appropriate materials to repair resorption defects.

Oliver Pontius

Title

Management of Root Perforations

Synopsis

Root perforation presents a clinical challenge since it results in communication between root canal walls and the periodontal ligament. It is commonly caused by an operative procedural accident or pathological processes such as extensive dental caries and external or internal inflammatory root resorptions. In this presentation, Dr. Pontius will discuss the causes, preventive measures, diagnosis, and key variables when evaluating root perforations, operative procedures, repair materials, and prognosis of various root perforations that can occur during root canal treatment.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Realize how to prevent root perforations.
  • Evaluate different types of root perforations and methods of treatment.
  • Assess treatment outcome.

Fabricio B. Teixeira

Title

Intentional Replantation in Daily Practice

Synopsis

Current evidence has shown that teeth with failed endodontic treatment, unsuitable for retreatment due to restorative or anatomic factors, may be candidates for replantation procedures. The best evidence indicates clinicians should integrate the replantation procedure into their treatment planning in select cases. It has been demonstrated that replantation offers the potential for success when proper case selection and procedures are followed. There is a significant cost differential between replantation and that of an implant and crown or fixed prosthesis. Patients who cannot afford an implant, crown, or fixed prosthesis may have their needs addressed by replantation. The procedure offers a viable alternative for some patients who might otherwise lose a tooth, resulting in reduced function and diminished esthetics. This presentation will review pertinent literature, consider indications and contraindications for the procedure, and demonstrate completed cases with follow-up. The presentation will illustrate the procedure to serve as a procedural guide.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Realize how to prevent root perforations.
  • Treatment plan intentional replantation in appropriate cases.
  • Recognize indications and contraindications for intentional replantation.
  • Describe critical steps in the intentional replantation procedure.

John I. Ingle’s Legacy

Dr. Ed McLaren, DDS MDC
DR.JOHN I. INGLE, DDS, MSD
1919 – 2017

Dr. Ingle was born in 1919 in Colville, Washington. His career in dentistry and endodontics spanned more than 6 decades, beginning with dental school at Northwestern University in Chicago, which he completed in 1942, just in time to join the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. After serving the country for 4 years in the military, Dr. Ingle began a long and distinguished career in dental education. He accepted an offer to teach periodontics at the University of Washington in Seattle.

However, Dr. Ingle was interested in both periodontics and the new emerging field of root canal therapy—endodontics. Because of that interest, he was sent to the University of Michigan, where he earned a graduate degree in both periodontics and endodontics in 1948. He returned to Seattle to teach both disciplines. He subsequently earned certification from both the American Board of Periodontics and the American Board of Endodontics.

Establishing the first endodontic specialty program on the West Coast in 1959, Dr. Ingle was involved in the education of many endodontists who followed in his path of endodontic education. He took great pride in inspiring others to become engaged in teaching endodontics. After 16 years of teaching at the University of Washington, Dr. Ingle moved to Los Angeles, California to assume the position of Dean of the School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California, which allowed him to become involved in the expanding endodontic community in Southern California.

Dr. Ingle’s interest in endodontics covered all aspects of the discipline, including the instruments used for root canal treatment, the outcomes of treatment, the dissemination of information, and the participation in activities of the specialty. Frustrated with the lack of standardization of root canal instruments, Dr. Ingle tried to interest dental companies in developing a worldwide standard for the size and shape of endodontic files and reamers. In the United States, nonmetric measurements were used while in the rest of the world the metric system was in use. In addition, each manufacturer had its own standards for sizes and shapes of instruments. In an attempt to raise an interest in the problem, Dr. Ingle published a paper pointing out the need for standardization of instruments and following intensive research he developed the standardization system in 1957, the 0.2 taper and metric measurements. This system is still in use today.

The precision in design and manufacturing of endodontic instruments that Dr. Ingle’s innovation created so early in the history of endodontics is today taken for granted. It illustrates how he would identify a problem and work hard to find a solution. His constant search for solutions to treatment problems made him open to accepting many innovations in techniques and instruments and he ensured they were described in his textbooks. While root canal therapy probably originated in the mid-1800s, the treatment of teeth with root canal infections was set back when, in the early 1900s, the focal infection theory put a roadblock in the path of such treatments. It took the efforts of pioneers such as Dr. Ingle to change the attitudes of many in the dental and medical professions. Even in the 1950s, endodontics was not widely accepted and questions were raised about the success and the safety of such treatment.

Along with pioneers such as Dr. Larz Strindberg in Sweden, Dr. Ingle conducted outcomes research that enabled to describe important clinical and radiographic factors associated with the success and failure of root canal treatment. It soon became known as the “Washington Study”. Its importance was not only because it demonstrated a high success rate in root canal treatment, but it also identified the causes of failures: poorly performed treatment procedures. The conclusion was that root canal therapy could be successful if properly done. Thus, the classic “Washington Study” has taken its place in the history of important contributions to endodontics.

One of Dr. Ingle’s passions in life was to disseminate information on all aspects of endodontics. That led to the publication of a milestone in endodontic textbooks – Ingle’s Endodontics, the first edition of which was published in 1965. Ingle’s Endodontics gained notice as soon as it was published. The bright yellow-colored book (a color suggested by his wife, Joyce) was an innovative textbook for its day, and its 9”x11” size was unique for medical texts at that time. In addition to the superb illustrations, it contained full-size plates of access preparations. It soon became a textbook that inspired many dentists to pursue endodontics as a specialty and has been a model for other books to follow.

In recognition of his many contributions to our specialty, Dr. Ingle received the American Association of Endodontists’s (AAE) Ralph F. Sommer Award in 1987 and the Edgar D. Coolidge Award, the AAE’s highest honor, in 1999. The Sommer Award had a special meaning for Dr. Ingle in that Dr. Sommer had been one of his teachers at the University of Michigan. In 2015, the AAE General Assembly, at the Annual Session, honored Dr. Ingle with a special recognition for his contributions to endodontics. He was also honored by many other international organizations.

Dr. Ingle’s interests were also directed more broadly. After completing six years as Dean of the School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California, he was honored to be appointed Senior Staff Officer to the Institute of Medicine in the National Academy of Sciences in 1972.

The words “icon,” “legend,” and “giant” are often overused, and Dr. John I. Ingle would not have wished to be described in such terms. He would likely have been pleased to be remembered as a mentor, a teacher, and a friend to numerous colleagues in the United States and abroad, having had a lasting impact on the lives and careers of dental professionals and endodontists worldwide.
