SINGAPORE: In addition to an extensive list of companies exhibiting at 2018 International Dental Exhibition and Meeting (IDEM), the event organisers have scheduled a diverse and interesting scientific programme. It features many important opinion leaders from the world of dentistry, including Dr Simone Grandini, who will be presenting a two-part lecture on his workflow for the treatment and restoration of endodontically treated teeth.
According to Grandini—who is Dean of the School of Dental Hygienists at the University of Siena in Italy—many changes take place after a root canal therapy and he has found that clinicians sometimes have difficulty restoring a heavily compromised tooth. Therefore, he and his colleagues have developed a workflow reference to aid fellow dentists in following a specific sequence and to help them become familiar with the root canal therapy process.
In an interview with Dental Tribune Online, he said: “There’s no specific paper that talks about this topic. That general dental practitioners are often unfamiliar with the root canal therapy process is more of a general feeling I have developed after being a teacher and instructor for more than 20 years. Endodontics and restorative dentistry have been two different courses for students for years, and they still are in many regions. The workflow was designed to guide general dental practitioners through all the steps of the procedure to increase the success rate and make the procedure easier for them.”
Grandini explained that the steps of the workflow overall are nothing new. “The only peculiar part is including the diagnosis, because it is extremely important to determine whether the tooth can be saved. Then it is only a matter of applying the single steps of the workflow, the procedure itself, in the correct way. This will lead to clinical success,” he added.
Since developing the workflow in 2017, Grandini and his colleagues have presented it to dentists at conferences all over the world. He said, “Almost everyone whom we’ve spoken to has been enthusiastic and excited about it, and we’ve also received e-mails from dentists who have used the workflow with great success. We think it could be very useful for the profession and look forward to presenting it at IDEM in April.”
