With all the paraphernalia available to clinicians, (re-) root canal treatment has become more predictable ….but does it improve clinical outcomes?

The aim of this presentation is to look at the bigger picture….keeping teeth going for as long as practicaly possible. This can only be done by appropriate case selection, a conservative approach to treatment and most importantly looking at the bigger picture. Cutting edge clinical research from the KCL Endo unit will be presented to show how we can improve outcomes in a relatively simple way.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the clinical relevance of SUCCESS versus SURVIVAL of root treated teeth
Discuss about new prognostic factors which can improve longevity of root treated teeth
Gain an insight into alternative treatment options and how their success/survival rates compare to root canal treatment
