Multirooted Endodontics Two-Day Workshop
Friday and Saturday
March 27-28, 2015
Have you ever felt lost in a root canal? If so,
this two-day program is right for you. This
program combines updates about the latest
techniques, instruments and clinical strategies in endodontic therapy. Lectures with
relevant hands-on laboratory exercises ensure that participants take their endodontic
skills to the next level. Theoretical information will be effectively communicated by
well-recognized endodontic specialists.
Christine Peters, Ove Peters and David Brown
Molar endodontics is deemed considerably more difficult than anterior or single-rooted premolar
root canal treatment. It is imperative for the clinician to assess case difficulty and make educated
treatment decisions in various clinical scenarios. Both basic concepts and solutions for complex
cases will be presented. Management of complications during endodontic therapy, pain control
and handling of emergency situations will also be discussed. These strategies, presented in an
evidence-based and easy to follow manner, will allow clinicians the opportunity to develop immediate strategies to solve these endodontic problems in their practices.
Presentations are accompanied by step-by-step, printed handouts and live, follow-along demonstrations in the simulation laboratory. Participants will have the opportunity to perform techniques on plastic models and real teeth, emphasizing clinical situations that can be encountered
in multirooted teeth. Exercises will include specific elements for molars and will concentrate on
locating all canal orifices.
You Will Learn
To be familiar with diagnoses and related treatment plans
Access preparations that retain structural integrity, expose all orifices and allow unimpeded entry into the root canals
Easy canal length determination principles using electronic apex locators and radiographic techniques
Cleaning and shaping procedures and strategies for single rooted and multirooted teeth using the most effective hand instrumentation and current concepts in rotary instrumentation
Root canal filling techniques using laterally compacted gutta-percha
Root canal filling using several warm filling techniques
Excellent course with very helpful and involved presenters.
I would recommend it to my colleagues.
–Pooja Patel, BDS, DDS

Despite favorable outcomes of implant therapy in recent years, placement of
implants in growing patients is contraindicated because of infra-occlusion during facial growth. However, autotransplantation may be considered in children
and adolescents.
The earliest reports of tooth transplantation date back to the ancient EgypKeivan Zoufan
tians. During the 1950s, numerous autogenous tooth transplantation cases
were reported, but were not considered favorable due to high failure rates related to resorption and infection complications. Recently, more successful treatment outcomes have
appeared in literature, and as a result, patients now have the option of autotransplantation for an
immediate tooth replacement. Autotransplantation is a technique-sensitive procedure requiring
forward planning and careful case selection, and with precise surgical and endodontic treatment,
may lead to satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes.
You Will Learn
Case selection and treatment planning for autotransplanted teeth
Endodontic considerations when transplantation is a treatment option
Clinical cases that exemplify different modalities
Endodontic and surgical treatment techniques
Who Should Attend
All dental professionals who are interested in learning more about autotransplantation will benefit from this lecture.

30th Annual Charles A. Sweet, Sr.
Pediatric Dentistry Memorial Lecture
Saturday, April 25, 2015
Diagnosis and Treatment of Oral Trauma
A routinely followed format for a post-trauma examination provides a more
organized approach, along with the assurance of a thorough evaluation. Other
areas of injury to the head or oral cavity may be missed if we concentrate
only on the most obvious injury or chief complaint. This lecture instructs participants in the examination, diagnosis and the treatment of oral trauma in
the pediatric patient. Timing and inclusions for follow-up examination, radiographic techniques and antibiotic recommendations are included. Many
accidents lead to legal intervention, and findings that appear to be irrelevant or
minor may ultimately be of significance. The thoroughness and organization
of your dental records will not only insure excellence in treatment, but may be
significant for medical-legal support.
Dr. Jane Soxman
You Will Learn
To obtain information and documentation for accurate and complete dental records
To perform emergency treatment with an organized approach for assurance of timely and appropriate intervention and provide appropriate follow-up
To gain confidence for treating the various presentations of dental trauma
The need for collaboration with other specialists along with determining the provider who will assume primary responsibility for treatment continuity and follow-up
Current guidelines and review the dental literature
Becoming the Pediatric Alpha Pup Treating the challenging child today requires a new approach for behavior guidance. Aversive techniques are no longer acceptable. Developmental stages, the multiple factors that influence a child’s
behavior and recommendations for intervention are discussed. Methods to engage and involve parents and ultimately bring them to “our side” are presented. Potential problems are identified with
specific recommendations that can result in more successful and less stressful visits for all.
You Will Learn
The developmental stages for age-appropriate expectations for behavior
To recognize potential behavioral problems with instruction in techniques for modifying
various forms of behavior
To provide information for parents regarding limitations due to behavior and
treatment objectives
To determine the pros and cons of parental presence for treatment
To review the dental literature with updates using evidence-based recommendations

Crown and Bridge GPS:
Are You Numb Yet?
Navigating the Maze of Indirect Dentistry Today
The Anatomy of Local Anesthesia
Saturday, May 30, 2015
Saturday, June 6, 2015
Indirect dentistry was relatively easy to understand for many years when choices were limited to gold and porcelain fused to metal restorations. However,
things have definitely changed. Today, the world of dentistry offers numerous
choices in terms of various ceramics, cements and technologies, and the practitioner is left wondering which path he or she should take. This lecture course
will help practitioners navigate this maze and understand the advancements in
each aspect of crown and bridge restorations so that predictable results can be
attained. Dr. Kachalia will specifically discuss technologies and materials that
are available today that allow predictable impressions to be achieved, both in
the traditional impression world and the digital world.
This lecture is designed for dentists and dental hygienists who wish to expand
their understanding of the pharmacologic mechanisms and delivery techniques
of local anesthesia and to solve some of the difficulties that arise in obtaining
profound anesthesia in the oral cavity.

50th Anniversary of the Colonel Allyn D. Burke
Memorial Dental Symposium
Friday, June 26 – Saturday, June 27, 2015
Naval Postgraduate School
Monterey, CA
The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry
is proud to sponsor the 50th anniversary
of the Colonel Allyn D. Burke Memorial
Dental Symposium. Named in honor of
Theresa Gonzales, Marc Geissberger and Robert Hale
Colonel Allyn D. Burke, a graduate of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons (now the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry), this annual
dental symposium continues to honor the long-standing affiliation between military and nonmilitary dental professionals throughout the United States and abroad.
DAY 1 – FRIDAY, JUNE 26
Emerging Trends in the Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Orofacial Pain
COL Theresa S. Gonzales, DMD, MS, MS
Chronic orofacial pain (COFP) is relatively common with approximately 7 to 12% of the general
population reporting such symptoms. Despite the diversity of treatments for chronic pain, average pain
reduction is approximately 30% in about half of treated patients. Treatment priorities should emphasize optimal symptom relief, with individualized therapeutic regimens based on patient pain histories.
Emerging trends in the diagnosis and management of orofacial pain will be discussed.
You Will Learn
How to capture a relevant pain history
How to use information in the pain history to form a structured interview
To develop a differential diagnosis
To deploy reversible and conservative therapies in the management of orofacial pain
Forensic Odontology: Fact and Fiction
COL Theresa S. Gonzales, DMD, MS, MS
The teeth and their associated restorations are highly resistant to destruction and represent a sophisticated tool for postmortem identification of human remains. This seminar is designed to delineate the
legitimate role of the forensic dentist with respect to dental identification, recognizing and reporting
human abuse, determination of chronologic age and dentistry's role in a mass disaster setting.
You Will Learn
To articulate the principles of forensic odontology
The techniques for dental identification in mass disasters, accidents and homicides
To deploy strategies for recognizing and reporting child and/or vulnerable adult abuse
COL Theresa S. Gonzales, DMD, MS, MS, recently retired from the U.S. Army Dental Corps and
served as director of strategic communications for the Army Surgeon General. She commanded formations in Europe and the U.S. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology, the American Academy of Oral Medicine, the Academy of General Dentistry and the American

Restoration of Face Battle Injuries
COL Robert G. Hale, DDS
More than 30% of wounded combat troops are injured in the face and more than 90% of all
combat face injuries are caused by penetrating trauma. The nature of the injury involves predominately open wounds, compound fractures and burns. Conventional treatment has failed to
address these injuries adequately. Starting in 2008, the U.S. Department of Defense launched a
comprehensive effort to elevate the standard of care of the combat wounded through regenerative
medicine research.
You Will Learn
To understand and define the differences between civilian (blunt) trauma and penetrating trauma of the battlefield
The limitations of conventional treatment for the management of battle injuries to the face
Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering concepts applied to management of injuries to the face, to include burns
To understand and define vascularized composite allografts (face transplants) applied to restore form and function of the severely injured face.

Treatment planning, designing and managing complex restorative and aesthetic cases can be a daunting task. While each practitioner may have their own preferences, several universal design and treatment principles can be applied to all complex cases. These principles will be introduced through this
interactive presentation using cases that include multidisciplinary needs and diligent management to
achieve optimal results. Sequencing treatment with multiple specialties (orthodontics, periodontics,
oral surgery and endodontics) will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be placed on specific techniques and design concepts to aid practitioners in achieving optimal functional and aesthetic results.
