Presentation title
Understanding Periodontal - Endodontic Orofacial Pain using Selective Imaging.
Abstract
Odontogenic pain is a category of complex disorders that include the soft tissue and the bony structures. It can be caused by pathological conditions related to Periodontal or Endodontic involvement. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive review of the patient’s medical-dental history and clinical examination, combined with appropriate imaging techniques. This presentation focuses on the usefulness of imaging techniques to determine methodical approaches for assessing etiologic factors, diagnostic mechanisms and treatment modalities to predicably navigate through Endodontic-Periodontal involvement. Clinical case scenarios are presented to treat different examples of Endodontic-Periodontal lesions with emphasis on interdisciplinary approach.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Recognize importance of imaging techniques for proper assessment.
2. Be familiar with non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
3. Employ a methodical diagnostic approach for Endodontic-Periodontal involvement.
