S-18 - Guided Piezosurgery: The Next Evolution in Endodontic Root-end Procedures Workshop (Lecture/Hands-On)

Fee: $1,345 (after March 29: $1,495). Full-day workshop. Registration includes didactic lecture and hands-on workshop. Boxed lunch included.


Treatment of a failing endodontic procedure via microsurgical revision presents better outcomes due, in part, to the integration of the Surgical Operating Microscope (SOM) and CBCT into clinical practice. The combination of superior visualization at higher magnifications with the ability to “virtually” rehearse the procedure and anticipate complications expand the potential surgical possibilities. Technologies have been developed to satisfy the demands of evolving micro techniques but are not limited to the classical endodontic armamentarium. The most recent example is the implementation of the Piezosurgical technique for root end surgery. The established use in OMFS for osseous incisions and resections is being adapted in endodontic microsurgery for conservative ostectomy and bony-lid access of anterior and posterior sites.

Didactic:
The morning session of this full day course provides a didactic reinforcement of contemporary surgical concepts and procedures, and their integration/ modification within the piezosurgical technique with and the fabrication/application of the Precision endodontic surgical stent (PRESS).

Hands-On:
The afternoon session affords the participants the opportunity to perform piezosurgical techniques on anatomically correct models with simulated lesions in the Mandibular and Maxillary arches.


AAE Workshop Cancellation and No Show Policy:
Refunds for AAE workshops will not be granted, regardless of the circumstance, after April 5, 2023. A no-show occurs if a registrant does not cancel in advance of AND/OR does not show up for their scheduled workshop within 30 minutes of the published start time. If a registrant no-shows, they will forfeit their spot at the workshop and an individual from the waitlist will be given their place.
