Looking for a CBCT/Endodontics course?

April 22, 2022 by Dr. Judy McIntyre

CSDA-pic

Join Dr. Judy McIntyre for….

“3D Imaging and Endodontics: It’s More than MB2s – a Hands-on Course”

Wednesday, May 11 | 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm at Mohegan Sun

During this course, Dr. McIntyre will discuss radiology, an essential component of the diagnostic puzzle in endodontics. 2D radiographs have been helpful to aid in diagnosis and planning. However, teeth, like the human body, are 3 dimensional, and limitations with 2D radiology exist.

Ultimately, the use of 3D imaging/CBCT in endodontics is about avoiding surprises, assessing prognosis, and having the information to treatment plan cases most effectively for long-term restorative success. Dr. McIntyre will review how she uses 3D imaging in her practice and will provide a hands-on review within the 3D software.

Participants should bring laptops for the hands-on component. 3D software will be provided for use during the course.

Please register at https://csdadentalmeeting.com/

$95 | CODE: W1JM | 2 CEUs

To register, enter your information, and choose 3D Imaging and Endodontics: It’s More than MB2s Hands-on Course (code: W1JM) on Wednesday, May 11. Then, proceed to checkout.

What's this??? 🙋‍♀️ Extra oral #bitewings What's this???
🙋‍♀️
Extra oral #bitewings
🙌
Most people don’t think of ExtraOral #bitewings as something that would be helpful in an #endodontic practice. 
Some patients however, such as gaggers,
young and/or autistic patients and others do not tolerate intraoral radiographs or have limitations or disabilities that make taking intraoral films, especially posterior periapicals, challenging or impossible.
This can lead to a result that is not diagnostic and/or does not capture essential information.
☢️
Extraoral bitewings, aka "E/O BWs", can be a great alternative.
🥳
“Extraoral bitewings” is a bit of a misnomer. 
Unlike a traditional bitewing, these images capture the apices of the teeth as well making them
a great option for patients that can’t tolerate posterior PAs. These E/O BWs were a perfect alternative for this 9 yo pediatric patient.

The film taken by the RD did not capture the apices and captured a lot of black space instead.

I had taken a #cbct prior to treatment and wanted to capture a post-op film of the #vitalpulptherapy treatment that was rendered

These images can be captured without having to put anything in the patient's mouth!

This is a valuable and underestimated tool to capture an image when cooperation would prevent/limit the diagnostic potential - for example in an attempted
#periapical film
Hopeful for the follow up in 6m
🤞🤗
Goal: although this pt was in pain, I was able to control the heme within after pulpal amputation 
In 6m, I hope to see continued root development/closure
This postoperative convo with pt/ family is extensive and includes to come back if symptoms develop before then!!

Decay!  ... and, a lot of it!   And, if you no Decay!  ... and, a lot of it!  
And, if you notice, on the preop there's also decay on the LR6 as well. 

Thankfully, this astute RD excavated all of the decay BEFORE referring.  
🥳
While it's not necessary, often decay removal is very much appreciated 🤗 from us endodontists because [I feel that] the restoring #dentists have a better assessment of what exactly one is comfortable saving, rather than either ping-ponging the pt and/or sending for another consult (perio for CL, for ex), etc.  

The GD and pt decided that LR7 was not restorable.  This pt also is missing the UR7 also so there is no opposing tooth.  And, yes, there is a ridiculous radix and curve on it as well - nice eye @grissomendo !

#cbct confirmed 3 canals and no PA pathology

Dx: SIP/SAP LR6 and completed in 2 visit
🥳 Great weekend again with the #mastertrack #de 🥳
Great weekend again with the #mastertrack #dentistry group
📚
This group welcomed their assignment graciously
Homework 1: to meet with their local #endodontist and discuss how to work better together and how to serve #patients better
🙌
Homework 2: review #dentaltrauma and #dentaler protocols with their #dentalteam to improve flow when emergency situations arise
🙌
Homework 3: present a #cbct case featuring something the practitioner has learned or managed differently 
🙌
Thrilled to share these great slides of wonderful meetings and great learning points
