This one hour presentation will delve into techniques and procedures that can help clinicians reduce their post restorative sensitivity and increase tooth nerve survival. By handling pulpal tissues and deep lesions appropriately we can have happy teeth. We are in an era where patients are often not wanting root canals so learning how to prevent them can position you and your practice to help these patients. Materials, techniques and procedures will be presented that have proven to be successful in keeping teeth calm or preventing them from becoming sensitive. Vital pulp capping and safe handling of tissues close to the pulp along with creating predictable final restorations will be the focus of this presentation. Not every tooth that has a deep lesion or a pulp exposure requires a root canal so learn which ones can survive and how to tip the scales towards long term survival.
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Diagnose pulpal health along with strategies for monitoring long term pulpal health
• Understand the steps involved in reducing pulpal tissue response
• Handle deep caries and direct and indirect pulpal exposures
• Maximize their bonds and prevent pulpal sensitivities
