TULSA COUNTY DENTAL SOCIETY FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2015 7 HOURS C.E. PROGRAM “The Art of Endodontics” Presenter: L. Stephen Buchanan, DDS, FICD, FACD The Art of Endodontics: Everything has changed but the anatomy THE AM SESSION This presentation relates the most fundamental and unchanging endodontic issues—pulp, dentin, root, and root canal anatomy—to principles of treatment, simplifying our choices among evolving procedural technologies. A diagnostic regimen is shown that can definitively rule endo in or out, and if pain is of endo etiology, it can definitively discover which tooth is referring the pain. The use of cone beam CT imaging is shown as a diagnostic as well as a treatment planning tool, finishing with a logical decision tree clinicians can use when considering whether to save the tooth with further treatment or to replace it with an implant fixture. After watching this presentation attendees should understand: 1. The influence of endodontic anatomy on pulp degeneration and how the complexities of root canal systems dictate treatment to their full apical and lateral extents. 2. How 3D and 2D radiography with thermal pulp testing can deliver 100% diagnostic confidence. 3. How to treatment plan emergency care, endo vs implant, and how you are going to successfully invade pt’s root canal systems. THE PM SESSION The afternoon presentation shows Dr. Buchanan’s most current treatment methods, shot in HD through clear tooth replicas and during treatment of live patient cases. Procedures covered included guided access preparations, rotary negotiation, shaping canals with one to three files, bug-jarring irrigation and 3D obturation accomplished in seconds. After watching this presentation attendees should understand: 1. How cutting with guided access burs reduces loss of tooth structure while improving file paths. 2. How rotary negotiation brings the 10X improvement that rotary shaping did 15 years ago. 3. Why 3D obturation can improve success rates and how simple it is to do with today’s technology. Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan was valedictorian of his class at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, and completed the Endodontic Graduate program at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1980. Dr. Buchanan began pursuing 3-D anatomy research early in his career, and in 1986 he became the first person in dentistry to use micro CT technology to show the intricacies of root structure. In 1989 he established Dental Education Laboratories, and subsequently built a state-of-the-art teaching laboratory devoted to hands-on endodontic instruction, where he continues to teach today. Through Dental Education Laboratories he has lectured and conducted participation courses around the world, published numerous articles, and produced an award-winning video series, The Art of Endodontics. In addition to his activities as an educator and practicing clinician, Dr. Buchanan holds a number of patents for dental instruments and techniques. Most notably, he was the first to introduce variably-tapered shaping instruments for use in endodontic therapy and pioneered a system-based approach to treating root canals. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and a fellow of the International and American Colleges of Dentistry. He also serves as an assistant clinical professor at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry and at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Dentistry. Dr. Buchanan also maintains a private practice limited to endodontics and implant surgery in Santa Barbara, California.
