ACDE - Endodontics - The Art of Maintaining Natural Teeth

This lecture explores the central philosophy of contemporary endodontics: preserving the natural dentition whenever possible. Through an evidence-based clinical approach, participants will learn how modern endodontic techniques and treatment concepts empower clinicians to successfully manage complex clinical situations and maintain the health, function, and esthetics of natural teeth. The presentation will address sound decision-making principles and practical, clinically applicable strategies for a variety of challenging endodontic scenarios, including anatomical complexities, endodontic-periodontal lesions, and both surgical and non-surgical approaches to resolving iatrogenic complications or persistent endodontic infections. Attendees will gain valuable insights into predictable, biologically driven protocols that improve outcomes even in demanding cases, reinforcing the understanding that endodontics is both a science and an art dedicated to keeping natural teeth.

Course Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will:

• Understand the principles and decision-making frameworks that guide the preservation of natural teeth through contemporary, evidence-based endodontic care
• Learn practical and clinically applicable strategies for managing complex endodontic scenarios—including anatomical challenges, endodontic-periodontal lesions, and iatrogenic complications—using both surgical and non-surgical approaches

• Recognize predictable, biologically driven treatment protocols that enhance outcomes in demanding cases, reinforcing endodontics as both a scientific and artistic discipline focused on maintaining natural dentition
