Courses by Speaker (Hargreaves, Kenneth)

This evidence-based course is designed to provide effective and practical strategies for managing dentoalveolar infections. Attendees will learn that the biology of infections is used as a foundation to allow the practitioner to select the best combination of dental and pharmacological treatments to manage dental infections. Learning Objectives:›› Describe a practical method that combines non-pharmacological treatment with the appropriate antibiotics for managing dental infections ›› Understand the growing recognition of bacterial strains resistant to current antibiotics ›› Review management of bacterial strains ›› Discuss an effective approach for providing root canal treatment in infected teeth Handouts are available for this course.

Regenerative Endodontics Kenneth Hargreaves, DDS, PhD Considerable excitement exists for developing dental applications that employ postnatal stem cells and concepts of tissue engineering. Although much remains to be done to advance this field, progress has been made in clinical regenerative endodontic procedures: literally, saving teeth by regenerating a pulp-dentin complex. Learning Objectives: ›› Discuss the three major steps in tissue engineering and how they apply to regenerating the pulp-dentin complex ›› Understand the clinical principles needed for regenerative endodontic procedures ›› Discover clinical outcomes of successful regenerative endodontic procedures Recommended Audiences: D
