AAE to hold joint session with pediatric dentists
In lieu of a 2012 Fall Conference, the American Association of Endodontists will hold
a joint symposium in conjunction with the
American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
(AAPD) Nov. 9–10 in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The multidisciplinary conference will
highlight new and emerging treatment
options for traumatic injuries using an
evidence-based approach. The program
speakers include nationally and internationally recognized clinicians and
scientists from both specialties, providing a unique educational opportunity in
identifying the best dental practices and
emerging treatment concepts.
Preservation of the natural dentition
has always been the ultimate goal in dentistry. Traumatic injuries often result in
damage to developing permanent teeth
that compromises the long-term prognosis and presents unique treatment challenges to the clinician. Treatment generally necessitates emergent and follow-up
care that is often multidisciplinary.
Contemporary research has led to scientific advances that provide a better understanding of new treatment modalities
that enhance the prognosis of teeth with
traumatic injuries. Technologic developments have improved diagnostic and

therapeutic techniques that include apical barriers, revascularization/regeneration, ridge preservation, decoronation,
orthodontic extrusion and root fortification. These treatment approaches have
proven to be highly beneficial for patients with dental trauma.
At the conclusion of this symposium,
the participants will be able to:
• Identify the types, etiology, and epidemiology of traumatic injuries that occur to the dentition.
• Identify methods of preventing damage to the permanent dentition in trauma injuries.
• Discuss the rapid physical assessment
of an injured child and related management techniques.
• Describe the purpose and use of the
International Association of Dental Traumatology Guidelines.
• Discuss diagnostic methods used in
traumatic injuries and their interpretation.
• Describe the use of three-dimensional dental imaging in diagnosis.
• Discuss the management and treatment options for the tooth with immature root formation.
• Define regeneration and revascularization and describe the indications and treat-
ment procedures required for success.
• Discuss the indications for and the
concepts of ridge preservation and decoronation in traumatic injuries.
• Discuss the indications and criteria
for orthodontic root extrusion.
• Describe restorative techniques for
teeth subjected to dental trauma.
• Discuss treatment outcomes of previously traumatized permanent teeth in children.
The meeting will be held at the Westin
Kierland Resort & Spa. More information is
available at www.aae.org/traumameeting.

Interview: The collaboration between endodontists and
restorative doctors to preserve dentin ... What’s next?
By Fred Michmershuizen, Managing Editor
and the keys to achieving great clinical
outcomes there, and the restorative dentist have been looking at the pericervical
dentin and how can they create a longlife crown. We worked with each group
to look at both facets. That is the big idea.
In an interview conducted at the recent
American Association of Endodontists
Annual Session in Boston, Tom Gallop,
CEO of SS White, discussed the collaboration between endodontists and restorative dentists to preserve dentin and
therefore improve outcomes for patients.
Your company is making a big splash with
a new, expanded booth and presence.
What are you trying to accomplish?
To me, with a “me-too” idea, you need to
play it low-key to be authentic, but with
an ability to execute on a big idea, having
a major presence is more appropriate.
So, what’s the big idea?
Doctors tell us that what we do is help
them to preserve the maximum amount
of healthy tissue, in a very efficient manner that increases the life of the restoration and allows for more endodontic
treatments. Increasing the collaborative
effort between the restorative dentist
and the endodontist is one key byproduct we have seen as a result.
In some ways we have had the endodontist looking at the lower apical third
SS White looks to bring greater collaboration between the endodontic community and the
restorative dental community, says Tom Gallop, CEO of SS White. The preservation of dentin
is one element that benefits clinician and patient alike, and can be a bridge to connect these
two respected practices. Photo/Fred Michmershuizen, Dental Tribune
What’s new and exciting for endodontists?
SS White has always been known within
the endodontic community for very
specific products, like Great White Burs
for faster endodontic access through
metal, Great White Z Diamonds for access through zirconia and recently EndoGuide Burs for more precise endodontic
access.
This year we are introducing a full
line of endodontic products driven
around our passion toward conservation and efficiency. Those products
include the redevelopment of the very
popular V-Taper File System, V-Glide
Path File, V-Fill Obturation system and
other unique endodontic instruments
that are all designed to create more
conservative and more efficient endodontic procedures.

What sets the V-Taper file apart from other, similar files?
V-Taper is unique because of the variable
taper design, which allows for the preservation of cervical dentin to a higher
degree than any other file system on the
market. It also allows less instrumentation than most systems and more efficiency
Most endodontists want an 06 taper down at the apex to allow them
to get better irrigation, better obturation, better three-dimensional fill. But
when they have to negotiate around
tight curves, often times they have to
compromise and use an 04 tapered
file. So they are either compromising
by not getting the shape they want at
the apex, or they are compromising by
having to remove too much structure
to get the 06 taper down to the apex.
With the unique design of the V-Taper
system, it allows for the endodontist to
have the best of both worlds: get that
06 taper but with much more ease in
negotiating those tight curved canals,
so they can get the best results.
SS White has traditionally been known as
a restorative dental company. How does
that enhance your ability to add endodontic instruments to your offerings?
SS White is in a unique position in that
we are looking at the tooth as a whole. I
think that perspective is different from
most other endodontic companies, who
mainly focus on the endodontic side of
the procedure and do not take into account the needs of the restorative dentist.
What about access techniques to preserve
more of the dentin?
SS White originally developed the
standard round carbide bur, which
unfortunately has not been the ideal
instrument for use during endodontic
access procedures. When we developed
the round bur, it was intended for use
in cutting cavity preparations. To effectively cut a cavity preparation, you
need a bur that cuts both laterally and
vertically. Up until the launch of the
EndoGuide Burs, no other manufacturer listened to the endodontist and
general dentist on their need to design
an access-specific bur that would allow
for greater precision in gaining access
to the root canal. Rather, the manufacturer said this is what we have on the
shelf already available for you to use
for your access preparations.
At SS White, we asked clinicians: How
can we design a product specific to procedure challenges and anatomy? We focused on the conical shape and small tip
diameter as two of the defining features
that create more precise access and control. Doctors tell us EndoGuide Burs are

better than existing products when they
are contending with calcified canals or
troughing. They also indicate that the
product helps them reduce perforations
and conserve vital pericervical dentin.
EndoGuide Burs were developed with
our team of endodontic and restorative
specialists, which include Dr. David
Clark, Dr. John Khademi and Dr. Eric Herbranson.
EndoGuide is the first truly endodontic-access-specific-designed product that
has been developed with collaboration
and input from the manufacturer, endodontist and restorative dentist, allowing
for a more precise, efficient and conservative pathway for gaining proper endodontic access.
The dental market worldwide has
given EndoGuide Burs a very warm
welcome. Key opinion leaders and leading universities in such diverse markets as Mexico, the Netherlands, Italy,
Germany, Russia and India, to name a
few, have implemented the use of EndoGuide in their teaching, training and
other forms of education. The drive
and passion that has been put forth
worldwide in creating more conservative endodontic access has truly been
astonishing.
What came next?
The next challenge SS White undertook
after the launch of EndoGuide Burs
was that of creating more refined and
conservative root canal shaping procedures. The shaping of the root canal
procedure has significant value to the
quality of the final restoration. Research has shown that preserving dentin has a direct correlation to creating
longer lasting restorations. Our challenge was to develop a system that will
shape the root canal without eliminating key segments of dentin at the same
time, such as the dentin triangle, which
is vital to the strength of the tooth. One
school of thought is that the dentin
triangle should be removed to create
proper visibility and to effectively irrigate and obturate the canal. Following
this philosophy causes the removal of
dentin that could strengthen the tooth
if left intact. The system that had the
most appeal to us to accomplish our
goal of effective shaping, while preserving dentin when possible, was the
V-Taper 2 NiTi File System, which has
been redeveloped and relaunched here
at the AAE meeting in Boston.
Can you talk more about how endodontists and GPs can collaborate to preserve
tissue?
The industry has done a remarkable job
in the development of more efficient
file systems that allow for greater numbers of patients to gain treatment. This
has been a step in the right direction.
Advances in diagnostics have also taken a major step forward over the past
10 years as well. We have seen a rapid
adoption of microscopes, cone-beam
and digital X-ray. The combination of
increased visibility, better diagnostics
and the preservation of dentin is now
in place, with the goal of creating better patient outcomes. As a result, the
patient benefits from the developmental and collaborative effort with longerlife restorations and stronger teeth.
In closing, what would you like to say to
both endodontists and restorative dentists?
Thank you for bringing your thoughts
and ideas to us. We will continue to listen
and develop more effective instrumentation. With what we have done already, we
are confident that both the restorative
doctor and the endodontist can achieve
faster, stronger and longer-life restorations. When this happens, we have seen
the relationship and collaborative effort
between GPs and endodontists continue
to grow.
