Course Description
Dr. Schwartz will conduct a case-based interactive session which will focus on diagnosis, decision-making and treatment planning in endodontics. Emphasis will be on the role of endodontics in multi-specialty care and how properly performed endodontic treatment can improve the outcomes in other areas of dentistry. He will discuss, depending on your skills and confidence, the types of potential problem cases you might not want to tackle yourself. He will present case histories and lead the audience through the thought process of diagnosis, case selection, endodontic considerations, restorative considerations and execution of the treatment.

• Management of a wide variety of every day endodontic scenarios.
• Management of some less common endodontic scenarios.
• A logical, organized approach to endodontic treatment planning.
• How Cone Beam CT has changed the decision-making process in endodontics.
