Dental Trauma

Course Description: 

Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) have a high global prevalence; the literature indicates a 20% overall prevalence, often resulting from falls or sports. However, dental trauma is usually a small part of the dental school curriculum. Everyday practice demands urgency and timely treatment with crucial decision-making to ensure a successful treatment plan and minimize long-term complications.

This course focuses on real-world dental trauma management for general dentists, from uncomplicated crown fractures to avulsions and jaw fractures, emphasizing predictable techniques, decision-making, and problem-solving strategies that improve outcomes and efficiency. Participants will learn practical methods for managing the complexity of these cases with practice dialogues and scripts, practice scenarios, and front desk-to-clinical communication essentials. In addition, failures will be addressed as a learning experience to avoid. This comprehensive curriculum is rarely addressed and will also include patient/care-giver management and communication challenges to set everyone up for success. Knowing when to treat and/or refer and involve specialist/s will also be reviewed. This course will fill in the gaps to boost your confidence in all aspects of dental trauma.

Course Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

1. Identify and classify dental traumatic injuries using current [IADT] guidelines.
2. Perform a systematic trauma examination including medical, dental, and radiographic evaluation.
3. Provide emergency management for common traumatic dental injuries with ease  from the first call to definitive treatment to long-term management and follow-up.
4. Determine prognosis and appropriate follow-up for traumatized teeth.
5. Manage trauma in primary vs permanent dentition.
6. Recognize complications including pulp necrosis, root resorption, and ankylosis.
7. Develop long-term treatment plans including restorative, endodontic, and surgical options.

Real-Life Endodontics

Course Description:

Dental school teaches the theory of endodontics, but everyday practice introduces complications rarely covered in depth: underfilled/short or long-filled canals, calcified canals, missed anatomy, ledges, separated instruments, irrigation failures, and patient management and communication challenges.

This course focuses on real-world endodontics for general dentists, emphasizing predictable techniques, decision-making, and problem-solving strategies that improve outcomes and efficiency. Participants will learn practical methods for managing easy endodontic cases to difficult canals, avoiding common mistakes, improving obturation, and knowing when to treat versus refer. Overall, even after having taken a hands-on course, this course will fill in the gaps to boost your confidence in all aspects of endodontics.

Course Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

1. Diagnose endodontic conditions with greater confidence.
2. Identify complex root canal anatomy and common missed canals.
3. Apply predictable access and canal location techniques.
4. Manage calcified canals and difficult anatomy.
5. Prevent and manage endodontic complications.
6. Improve irrigation and disinfection protocols.
7. Select appropriate obturation techniques.
8. Decide when to treat, retreat, or refer.
9. Ask targeted, specific questions and get answers
10. Improve communication skills about endodontics with your specialists and patients.
