TULSA COUNTY DENTAL SOCIETY
FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2015 7 HOURS C.E. PROGRAM
“The Art of Endodontics”
Presenter: L. Stephen Buchanan, DDS, FICD, FACD
The Art of Endodontics: Everything has changed but the anatomy
THE AM SESSION
This presentation relates the most fundamental and unchanging endodontic issues—pulp, dentin, root, and root canal anatomy—to
principles of treatment, simplifying our choices among evolving procedural technologies.
A diagnostic regimen is shown that can definitively rule endo in or out, and if pain is of endo etiology, it can
definitively discover which tooth is referring the pain. The use of cone beam CT imaging is shown as a
diagnostic as well as a treatment planning tool, finishing with a logical decision tree clinicians can use when
considering whether to save the tooth with further treatment or to replace it with an implant fixture.
After watching this presentation attendees should understand:
1. The influence of endodontic anatomy on pulp degeneration and how the complexities of root canal
systems dictate treatment to their full apical and lateral extents.
2. How 3D and 2D radiography with thermal pulp testing can deliver 100% diagnostic confidence.
3. How to treatment plan emergency care, endo vs implant, and how you are going to successfully
invade pt’s root canal systems.
THE PM SESSION
The afternoon presentation shows Dr. Buchanan’s most current treatment methods, shot in HD through clear tooth replicas and during
treatment of live patient cases. Procedures covered included guided access preparations, rotary negotiation, shaping canals with one to
three files, bug-jarring irrigation and 3D obturation accomplished in seconds.
After watching this presentation attendees should understand:
1. How cutting with guided access burs reduces loss of tooth structure while improving file paths.
2. How rotary negotiation brings the 10X improvement that rotary shaping did 15 years ago.
3. Why 3D obturation can improve success rates and how simple it is to do with today’s technology.
Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan was valedictorian of his class at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, and completed the Endodontic
Graduate program at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1980. Dr. Buchanan began pursuing 3-D anatomy research early in his
career, and in 1986 he became the first person in dentistry to use micro CT technology to show the intricacies of root structure.
In 1989 he established Dental Education Laboratories, and subsequently built a state-of-the-art teaching laboratory devoted to hands-on endodontic
instruction, where he continues to teach today. Through Dental Education Laboratories he has lectured and conducted participation courses around
the world, published numerous articles, and produced an award-winning video series, The Art of Endodontics.
In addition to his activities as an educator and practicing clinician, Dr. Buchanan holds a number of patents for dental instruments and techniques.
Most notably, he was the first to introduce variably-tapered shaping instruments for use in endodontic therapy and pioneered a system-based
approach to treating root canals.
He is a diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and a fellow of the International and American Colleges of Dentistry. He also serves as an
assistant clinical professor at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry and at the University of California, Los Angeles School of
Dentistry. Dr. Buchanan also maintains a private practice limited to endodontics and implant surgery in Santa Barbara, California. Dr. Buchanan
can be reached through his business, Dental Education Laboratories, www.DELendo.com, [email protected].
