Abstract:
Endodontics has benefited from technology in every aspect involving preparation, irrigation and obturation as the main components of root canal treatment. Clinicians can work nowadays more efficiently and comfortably achieving extraordinary success rates. For endodontists, it would be ideal to have a single machine capable of implement devices that work effectively on each one of the endodontic treatment aspects, however, that kind of device does not exist by itself, and there are different types of tools available in market that clinicians could integrate to their clinical practice. Available technology in conjunction with expertise and knowledge could lead to the endodontists to provide a reliable outcome to each endodontic procedure. The target of the lecture is to show in which way affordable technology could be applied to simplify endodontic procedures, always keeping in mind the basic principles that have ruled the specialty for years.

Title: Human papillomaviruses in lesions of the oral mucosa
Biography:
Marjana Knezevic is Associate Clinical Faculty at University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) are considered to initiate epithelial proliferation and contribute in the development of benign, premalignant and malignant oral lesions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of HPV in morphologically different oral lesions and determine the frequency of some types of HPV and their relationship with certain damage of oral cavity. The study included 120 subjects with different lesions of oral cavity (keratotic lesions, hyperplastic lesions, and erosive-ulcerative lesions). Oral specimens were collected with cytobrush. HPV DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The presence of HPV DNA was detected in (28/120) 23.3% oral samples. HPV DNA was identified in veruca (40%), papilloma (31.8%), papilomatosis of palate (30%), lichen planus (20%), leukoplakia (19%), and erosive-ulcerative lesions (19.2%). In patients with hyperkeratotic and hyperplastic lesions of the mucosa of the oral cavity, the most frequent type was the unspecified type of HPV (10.6%) while high-risk HPV types were more frequent in patients with erosive-ulcereous lesions of the oral cavity. The most frequent types were HPV 16 (15.4%), followed by HPV 18 (11.5%) and HPV 31 (7.7%). HPV 33 was rarely found (3.8%) in oral lesions. HPV is probably associated with the development of hyperkeratotic and hyperplastic oral lesions. Additionally, there are some less frequent types of HPV, which influence the development of hyperkeratotic and hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity and damaged oral mucosa increases the risk of HPV infection.

Abstract:
Conventional dental approach techniques based on just visual and clinical examinations are limited for evaluating patients in a conclusive manner. Dentistry has seen intensive improvements and advanced at full steam from the traditional techniques to the digital world that has widened the scope of dental treatments and procedures. The clinician must listen to the patient and establish realistic treatment objectives based on the patient’s needs and expectations. The interaction between patient and dental specialist, beyond conventional dentistry, must be improved by photos, videos and modern radiology, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional images. During the treatment planning phase, the dental practitioner must apply a modern appointment protocol based upon the analysis of the patients facial and dental proportions, utilizing predetermined series of high quality digital photographs and videos, intra-oral images and also digital radiology to understand the relationship between teeth, gingiva, bones, lips, smile with the facial features in motion and with emotion. The objective is to result in a clear, accurately and optimized diagnosis, an attractive and understandable treatment presentation for patients. Furthermore, the protocol provides complete documentation of each case. This article presents a systematic approach for dental multidisciplinary treatment plan for diagnosis, communication, execution, and case maintenance using tools for communication and coordination among the operators to achieve a satisfying multidisciplinary treatment result.

Abstract:
Success in implant dentistry involves four areas: Peri-implant soft tissue management, pre-implant augmentative surgery, precision in implant placement and quality of the prosthetic restoration. Until now, ridge augmentation of the anterior maxilla soft and hard tissue in aesthetic area is still a popular issue in esthetic dentistry. As we know, the most challenging situation is the single-tooth replacement, especially in the anterior maxilla, where a malposition of less than 1 mm or less than 10 degree can jeopardize the overall treatment outcome. Augmentation of soft tissue is sometimes necessary to predict the final esthetic outcome of the treatment (e.g., to obtain enough soft tissue to remodeling the papillae). According to the loss of the alveolar ridge, the quantity and quality of available soft tissue, and the need for future ridge augmentation, soft tissue augmentation procedures can be handled before, after, or at the same time with hard tissue augmentation and also at different stage during the whole implant-supported rehabilitation procedure.

Abstract:
Shaping is a very important step of an endodontic treatment because unshaped canals cannot be cleaned, disinfected and filled. After the shaping, to achieve the success, it is mandatory to fill the root canal system with warm gutta-percha and then to restore as soon as possible the tooth to avoid contamination of the endodontic space. The purpose of the workshop is to show how to shape with TF Adaptive instruments and how to fill the root canal system with elements free. Participants will receive all the information about instruments and techniques and during the hands on they can try to shape a plastic block and then fill them using the continuous wave of warm gutta-percha.

Abstract:
Aesthetic is a primary consideration for patients seeking prosthodontics treatment because the smile constitutes an important component in the presentation of a human being. A non-harmonic smile decreases the beauty of the face and it can cause a discomfort in the social conviviality. To appear attractive, the maxillary anterior teeth must be in the proportion to facial morphology. So, Smile design should involve the evaluation of certain elements in specific sequence .To achieve an optimal aesthetic result, the dentist must be familiar with such characteristics such as tooth shape and gingival aesthetic characteristics. All ceramic restorations are very popular because of their optimal esthetic result.

Abstract:
Palliative care is the active total care of patients whose disease is not or no more responsive to curative treatment. The goal of palliative care is to achieve the best quality of life for patients and their families. Palliative care for the terminally ill patient is based on multidimensional philosophy to provide whole person comfort and maintaining optimal function. Although disease and discomfort of the mouth cavity and teeth are integral and obvious in terminally ill patient but usually it does not include dentistry in its team approach. Dentist can have a significant role in the care of these patients by providing total, active comfort care of the oral cavity by alleviation of pain and prevention of infection from oral cavity because the function of the oral cavity is essential to the patient’s ability to thrive. Moreover, Palliative care patient require special dental attention, ranging from operative and preventive care to support for patients physical and emotional aspects of well-being. This review will explore some common problems and their management encountered in palliative care dentistry for terminally ill adults.
