Presents:

Zoom Virtual Meeting/Webinar

Root Canal Therapy or Implant Restoration

Treatment Options for Today’s Patient

Drs. Nisha Mehta & Irbad Chowdhury

Course:

Day 1 Recently dental implants have become a common alternative to endodontic re -treatment. Disparity and confusion arise when looking at implant and endodontic -treatment literature as the criteria for success. There are inconsistent treatment outcomes cited in literature and dilemmas arise as to how to proceed with a failing root canal. It is essential to understand these factors in relation to dental implants so that the best treatment options can be discussed with the patient. Today’s presentation will help direct dentists toward root canal treatment or dental implants. You will learn about diagnostic factors, treatment planning the restorable and non-restorable dentition, considerations before treatment, critical surgical and restorative factors, as well as surgical and prosthetic procedure workflow. It will provide a workflow chart, differentiating all types of patients and placing them into their respective restorative categories.
Day 2 Keep It or Lose It! For participation Credit: You will be provided in -depth case studies, each with unique presentations in favor of an implant or RCT or both. At the end of the presentations, participants will cast their vote and rationale for which course of treatment is chosen.
