422 RDSClinical Endodontic Procedures

Course DirectorDr Ebtissam Al-Madi

Endodontics

That branch of dentistry concerned with the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human dental pulp and periradicular tissues.

2Introduction to Clinical EndodonticsE. Al-Madi

Its study and practice encompass the basic and clinical sciences including

biology of the normal pulp, the etiology,

diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and

injuries of the pulp and associated periradicular

tissues.


Skills to acquire in 433 RDS

• Develop a systematic approach to diagnosis of endodontic pain by organizing clinical findings, symptoms and pain history.


• Clinically record the status of the pulpal and periapical tissue through clinical and radiographic examinations.


• Utilize endodontic tests to determine pulp vitality.


• Establish a differential diagnosis of odontogenic and non-odontogenic pain.


• Establish a differential diagnosis between endodontic and periodontal disease.


• Be familiar with major pulpal and periapical pathology and their sign and symptoms.


• Plan and deliver routine non-surgical endodontic treatment to patients with pulpal and periapical disease.


• Select or differentiate cases for treatment or referral based on knowledge, experience and ability.

E. Al-Madi Introduction to Clinical Endodontics 11

• Determine the prognosis of the treated tooth


• Recognize the need for endodontic surgery in appropriate cases.


• Identify the need for adjunctive procedures subsequent to endodontic therapy.


• Plan and refer case for appropriate restoration.


• Recall treated patients, and be aware of the value of post-operative follow-up (recall), and continuing prognosis.


• Diagnose, evaluate and perform retreatment on suitable cases.


• Be exposed to trauma cases, emergency cases, endo-perio cases, bleaching and preventive therapy cases.


• Exposure to new endodontic technologies; such as apex locators, rotary instrumentation, innovations in irrigation, and contemporary obturation techniques.

Clinical Requirements

Point system to include:• Difficulty of case (patient factor)• Number of canals• Curvature of the canals• Accessibility of the tooth• Retreatment case (removal of GP)• Caries control• Vital pulp therapy• Extra procedure (build-up,

gingivectomy, etc.)


• Initial access and pulp extirpation• Completed case (all endodontically

involved teeth in pt)• Partial procedures (incomplete

pt’s)• Restoration of case• recall• Cases that are of poor quality, and

considered for retreatment will not be credited as requirements.


Clinical Protocol (Attendance =2)

dam is prohibited.• Every procedure & file must

be signed before 4:30pm.


Clinical Protocol

• You must be ready for the step you are going to perform that day. (Daily Knowledge=3)

• Present cases to the course director as soon as you finish the case.


Clinical Forms

• Start check must be signed BEFORE any procedure.

• Instructor's signature for each step.

• Sign each procedure as soon as you perform it.
