This series of presentations will take a deep dive into the mysteries of internal and external cervical resorption\, pediatric endodontic management\, management of endodontic emergencies in the GP office\, and finally and update on the newest techniques and advancements in this exciting field. \n \n \nJC Fat\, DDS\, MS\nCleaning the Root Canal System: When is it Clean Enough? \nThe objective of root canal treatment is to neutralize disease process of endodontic etiology in order to retain the natural tooth.  Endodontists have constantly been searching for ways to better clean out damaged or diseased tissue within the complex anatomy of the root canal system.  Some of the most recent methods that have enhanced cleaning of the root canal system will be discussed. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand and appreciate why the root canal system is often much more than a single pipeway to the root apex\nKnow what means there are to neutralized disease process of endodontic etiology\nIntroduce irrigation modalities that endodontists use to address the complex root canal anatomy when providing endodontic treatment\n\nDr. Fat is a local Jesuit High School graduate.  He received his DDS degree from the University of the Pacific\, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and obtained his MS degree in endodontics at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.  Dr. Fat has an endodontic practice with Dr. Timothy A. Wong in Sacramento\, and enjoys spending his free time with his wife and three kids. \n \n \nJeffrey H. Janian\, DDS\nInternal Resorption: Detection\, Etiology and Treatment\nInternal root resorption (IRR) is a process resulting in progressive destruction of dentin within the root canal space. When present\, it is often an incidental finding on routine dental radiographs and asymptomatic. Fortunately\, it is a relatively rare occurrence\, when recognized and treated early enough\, usually results in a favorable outcome.   \nObjectives: \n\nBe able to recognize internal resorption radiographically\nUnderstand the benefit of 3D imaging of internal resorption\nKnow how to treat internal resorption \n\nDr. Janian is board-certified in endodontics. He graduated from dental school at UC San Francisco. From 1996-1999\, he served as a general dentist in the United States Air Force. He completed his endodontic residency in 2001 at the VA Hospital in Long Beach\, California\, then entered private practice.  From 2009-2016\, he was Program Director for Endodontics at UC San Francisco. Currently\, he practices endodontics in Folsom\, California. \n \n \nPaul Johnson\, DDS\, MS\nPulp Therapy for the Primary Dentition \nThe main objective of pulp therapy in primary dentition is promoting the health of the teeth and the supporting tissues to maintain the proper functions of the oro-facial complex (mastication\, speech\, esthetics) and ultimately\, to retain the teeth in their position to preserve arch length. Pulp therapies in the primary dentition include: direct pulp cap (DPC)\, indirect pulp therapy (IPT)\, lesion sterilization/tissue repair (LSTR)\, pulpotomy and pulpectomy.  \nObjectives: \n\nReview evidence-based pulp therapy treatments in the primary dentition\nAdequately diagnose primary tooth pulpal status and ideal primary tooth pulpal therapy\nUnderstand the indications\, objectives\, and type of pulp therapy required based on the health status of the primary tooth pulp tissue\nReview the procedural techniques for each primary tooth pulp therapy\n\nDr. Johnson obtained his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of California\, San Francisco. He continued his training by completing a Master’s of Science degree and pediatric specialty training from University of California\, San Francisco. During undergraduate and professional training Dr. Johnson was continually active in clinical and scientific research. He has contributed and is co-authored on two published papers. His master’s research project focused on the effects of oral Xylitol (non-cavity causing sugar) supplementation in an elementary school-based dental program. Dr. Johnson is board-certified in Pediatric Dentistry and is a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. \n \n \nInderpal Sappal\, DDS MSD\nManaging Endodontic Emergencies in the General Dental Practice\nDental emergencies are common\, yet stressful situations encountered regularly in the dental practice which can easily disrupt a busy schedule. The most common emergencies are endodontic in nature and involve patients experiencing a significant amount of pain. Expeditious treatment of these emergencies is imperative in order to not only provide pain relief to patients\, but also to minimize disruptions of these unscheduled visits in the practitioner’s regular schedule. Thorough management of endodontic emergencies is streamlined by employing a “3D” approach. \nObjectives: \n\nLearn to diagnose and identify the cause of the emergency\nDiscuss appropriate dental treatment\, based on the diagnosis\, in order to reduce inflammation or infection\nDescribe the use of drugs as adjuncts to allow for patient comfort and healing during the post-operative period\n\nDr. Sappal was born in England and grew up in Northern California from a young age. He received his DDS degree from University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and subsequently completed a general practice residency at VA San Diego. He obtained a certificate in endodontics and MSD degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Sappal currently practices endodontics in Midtown Sacramento with his brother Dr. Harkeet Sappal. He enjoys spending his time with his wife and dog cooking and grilling. \n \n \nKatherine Shi\, DDS\nGetting to the Root of External Cervical Resorption \nFinding external cervical resorption (ECR) on a radiograph often comes as a surprise to both practitioner and patient. Stealthy\, invasive\, and destructive\, this form of root resorption is characterized by its cervical location and progressive loss of tooth structure. Initial stages show resorption with granulation tissue and advanced stages have reparative potential with bone-like remodeling. Understanding the latest research on pathogenesis\, classification systems\, and management strategies can allow for better diagnosis and treatment planning. \nObjectives: \n\nReview the etiology and pathogenesis of ECR\nIdentify and classify ECR lesions in 2D and 3D\nDiscuss evidence-based treatment options and management of ECR lesions\n\nDr. Shi grew up in Michigan and Georgia\, graduated with her DMD degree from University of Pennsylvania\, and completed her Endodontics Residency at Tufts University in Boston\, MA. With Penn\, she worked on integrating artificial intelligence for computer-aided CBCT detection of periapical lesions. She followed her husband to Sacramento and is thankful to practice at Endodontic Associates with an incredible team that shares a passion for saving natural teeth. \n \nSign up with fillable PDF »\nSign up online » \nTerms and Conditions: \nCancellation/Refund Policy\nFull refund granted less $25 administration fee\, if received in writing 14 days before the class.
