Abstract:

In restorative dentistry, more is not always better, especially that it involves the sacrifice of healthy tooth tissues. However, less dentistry invites the risk of failure and may cause the sacrifice of the tooth as whole. Therefore, wise judgement is required to determine precisely where does enough dentistry lies.

On this lecture, a simple scoring system for the amount of functional loss will be proposed and linked with six levels of restorative interventions. Namely, stress dissipation cavity design, reliable bonding, glass fibres reinforcement, cusp capping, occlusal coverage and tooth crowning.

Introduction:

Three main factors determine the bio-mechanical stress response of the restorative system. The first is the magnitude, direction and type of load with special emphasis on cyclic lateral loading. The second is the cuspal strength measured by the ratio between the resistance arm represented by the base of the cusp and the force arm represented by the cavity depth. Lastly is the amount of structural discontinuity in the circumferential bio-rim encircling the occlusal table expressed by the number of auxiliary cavities emerging from the main preparation.
The possible reinforcing mechanisms include cavity design features that favor wide distribution of stress, thus avoiding the creation of stress razors and consequently surpassing the fracture resistance of the restorative system. Secondly, the utilization of bonding as a means of stress transfers from the weaker to the stronger parts of the restorative system. Thirdly, is by the use of high elastic modulus glass fibres as an intervening structure at the areas of discontinuities to provide the required support against cuspal bending and at the same time to decrease the net shrinkage stress thus lower the pre-stress condition on the adhesive bond. Fourthly, is the reduction of the cuspal height by tipping thus lowering the force arm with subsequent reduction of the bending moment on the cusp. Fifthly, it is by total occlusal coverage which re-direct the wedging force to compressive one that falls within the bio-mechanical tolerance of the loaded structures. Lastly, encircling the axial walls of the tooth to bind the various components of the restorative system and to counteract the hoop forces that emerge with severe mutilation. Encircling must not exceed the height of contour to allow for better resistance to the transferred stresses at the tension ring.
Treatment optimization requires a wise selection for the reinforcement techniques that correspond with the amount of damage fallen upon the restorative system.

Learning Objectives:

To be able to estimate the fracture-risk status for a prepared tooth.
To know the possible reinforcement technique for any restorative system.
To be able to select the reinforcement technique that fit best for each cavity.

Abstract:

Dental bleaching is among the most conservative and transformative procedures in Esthetic Dentistry. Beyond cosmetic appeal, it often serves as a catalyst for enhancing smiles and engaging patients in broader care. This lecture will present contemporary bleaching techniques, evidence-based protocols, and their integration into interdisciplinary treatment planning. Topics include indications, agent selection, sensitivity management, and step-by-step case sequencing. Emphasizing clinical predictability and patient satisfaction, participants will explore how whitening can function not only as a standalone procedure but also as a gateway to comprehensive, life-changing dental care.

Introduction:

Dental bleaching is one of the most in-demand procedures in modern Dentistry, offering noticeable esthetic improvement with minimal invasiveness. Beyond enhancing appearance, bleaching often marks the beginning of a patient’s commitment to oral health and esthetic care. A brighter smile can elevate self-esteem, improve social confidence, and strengthen the patient–clinician relationship, making whitening a gateway to more comprehensive treatment.
Recent scientific advances have produced safer, more effective bleaching agents and techniques, with greater stability and reduced sensitivity. A thorough understanding of bleaching mechanisms, their impact on dental structures, and their interactions with restorative materials is essential for achieving predictable and long-lasting outcomes. Equally important is the clinician’s ability to personalize treatment, manage expectations, and integrate whitening into an esthetic plan rooted in biological respect.
This lecture combines evidence-based information, supported by scientific research, and clinical expertise to reposition bleaching as a therapeutic and emotional tool - not just a cosmetic procedure. By refining bleaching protocols and broadening its applications, dental professionals can unlock powerful transformations that go beyond esthetics, improving oral health and quality of life - one confident smile at a time.

Learning Objectives:

Identify different types of dental bleaching techniques (in-office, at-home, combined) and differentiate their indications and contraindications in clinical practice.
Compare the efficacy, longevity, and safety of various bleaching agents and analyze their impact on enamel and dentin.

ENDODONTIC COURSE

Title: Preventing and Managing Iatrogenic Mishaps During the Shaping of the Root Canal System, the Theoretical Course

Accreditation: ADA CERP: 1.5 cr (DHA/MTS/ACC/26-0214/A) – 2 CPD Credit Points ICHS CME Credits: 1.5 cr

AED - 248 (Early Bird till 05th December)

AED - 285 (Standard)

To reserve your seat please contact Registration team at registration@aeedc.com

Abstract:

During the shaping, the original anatomy respect allows preparing the canal saving radicular dentine, creating an ideal shape for a deep cleaning and a three- dimensional obturation. The execution of shapes that fit and meet the original anatomy decreases the risk of creating alterations of the root canal itself, such as ledges or transport, regarded by the international scientific literature as factors leading to the failure of the therapy. The proper use of the rotary file is extremely important to prevent separation of the file itself, a situation that can lead to the failure of the treatment if not well managed.

Introduction:

The creation of a ledge during the shaping is the most common iatrogenic damage to the endodontic anatomy and it can be created by manual and rotary files. Once created, its management is crucial to complete the shaping the cleaning and the obturation at the proper working length to not decrease the outcome of the treatment. Hence ledge management is important to assure the tooth a positive outcome. The ledger can be managed with manual or rotary files, if used with proper rational. The respectful shaping of the root canal system is achievable using a proper shaping technique and getting the benefits of the evolution of the rotary file systems: thanks to the heat treatment of the rotary files, a totally mechanical shaping can be safely performed by the clinician, getting high quality and original anatomy respectful shaping, even in complex anatomies and even using a reduced number of instruments. A clear protocol is mandatory to reduce stress on the anatomy and on the NiTi rotary file, preventing separation of the file itself. Aim of the lecture is to highlight how the knowledge of the shaping techniques is more important than the rotary files, sharing protocols and tips to manage even iatrogenic misshapes once created. At the end of the workshop the participant will be able to recognize and comprehend the importance of the shaping techniques to respect the endodontic anatomy during the shaping to comprehend that the creation of iatrogenic canal alteration for a misuse of Rotary File leads to a negative outcome of the therapy and to understand how to prevent iatrogenic root canal alterations during the shaping and how to manage them once created.

Learning Objectives:

Comprehend the importance of the evaluation of the endodontic anatomy
Master the ability to respect the original endodontic anatomy during shaping even in complex cases
Comprehend that the creation of iatrogenic damage as ledger depends on misuse of the instrumentation and in a not correct approach to the canal
Master’s ledge management
