DAY 1

Aims

To understand the presentation and management of orofacial trauma. To be able to access contemporary treatment modalities and implement them when pts present with trauma. To be able to understand non-odontogenic pain.

Objectives

Students will be able to evaluate the types of dental trauma and be able to manage them. To be able to understand and apply appropriate splints and know when to undertake root canal therapy. To be able to diagnose non-odontogenic pain and use efficient pain history and examination techniques to assist in diagnosis.

Agenda

DAY 2

Aims

To understand the role of obturation in successful endodontic therapy. To be able to understand the different obturation techniques and the role that sealers play.

Objectives

Students will be able to evaluate and diagnose different obturation techniques. To be able to appropriately select the correct sealer and be able to evaluate cold and warm methods of sealing root canals.

Agenda

DAY 3

Aims

To introduce various techniques of dam application. To increase understanding of and implementation of contemporaneous preparation and obturation techniques in an attempt to achieve a 3-dimensional treatment of complex root canal spaces.

Objectives

Students will be able to apply the rubber dam effectively and understand which clamp is appropriate. To be able to safely and accurately prepare and obturate artificial root canals in plastic blocks and 3-d printed teeth. And to be able to understand, visualize and analyze the limitations of current treatment modalities.

Agenda

DAY 4
