Course Overview

During tooth formation, all endodontic therapy must have as its goal the preservation of pulpal vitality to allow for root completion.  This presentation will outline conservative procedures to achieve this goal.  Current concepts for pulpal management following traumatic injuries will be reviewed, as well as the treatment of emergency and long-term crown and root fractures, and displaced, intruded and avulsed teeth.  The use of calcium hydroxide, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), splinting techniques to minimize root resorption, and other MTA uses will also be discussed.
