COURSE CANCELED
Kenneth Hargreaves, DDS, PhD is a diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and a professor and chair of the department of endodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He also maintains a private practice in San Antonio, TX.
Considerable excitement exists for developing dental applications that employ post-natal 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 functional pulp-dentin complex. This course will describe the current status of regenerative endodontic procedures, their potential and predictors of healing success. Both clinical and basic studies will be reviewed to provide the practitioner with the latest information on this field with an emphasis on practical steps to be apply these procedures in treating selected patients.
- Describe 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
- Discuss clinical outcomes of successful regenerative endodontic procedures
