Endodontic disease makes up a large proportion of dental emergencies. Whatever dentistry you perform, there is always a need to be able to relieve a patient’s pain. This talk will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of pain caused by endodontic disease and how the clinician can resolve this quickly.
Omar was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, and completed his undergraduate degree at Otago University. After practising in New Zealand, he moved to London in the UK, where he gained experience in cosmetic and emergency dentistry. During his time in London, Omar completed the FRACDS fellowship and was accepted into King’s College London to study his Master’s in Endodontology. His thesis was published in the International Endodontic Journal during the final year of his course.
Omar is a Fellow of the International College of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy. In 2021, he co-developed the EndoPrep smartphone app, designed to help dentists improve the worldwide standard of care in endodontics.
His passion is teaching dentists and empowering them to embrace saving teeth as a means of fulfilling their role as true health professionals. Every year, he travels locally and internationally to teach, and he also does this across his various social media platforms.
Calcified canals present a challenge to anyone undertaking root canal treatment. The second mesiobuccal canal in upper molar teeth is commonly calcified and makes treating these teeth a challenge. The good news is that we have many tools available to help us locate and negotiate these canals. This talk will also describe a novel patency-filing technique to reduce the number of hand files needed to complete a case.
A smart person learns from their mistakes, but a wise person learns from the mistakes of others. In this talk, common complications that occur during the treatment process will be discussed, along with how to avoid them, how to remedy them, and how they affect the overall prognosis of treatment.
Saving natural teeth is what we must strive to do in dentistry. Often, compromised teeth require advanced restorative treatment with specialised materials. These include deep marginal elevation and techniques to manage encroaching periodontal tissues. This talk will discuss concepts and techniques we can use to preserve natural teeth and explain why implants are not always the answer.
