The immature permanent tooth presents 2 major anatomical challenges:

1. Thin dentinal walls
2. A wide-open apex

How can these cases be managed: is an endodontic treatment indicated, and if so what would be the ideal treatment? Does the vitality of the pulp matter? Is partial pulpotomy or full pulpotomy indicated or would a pulp capping suffice? Is it a revascularization or an apexification treatment? What about regeneration? What materials should be used and how are they handled? Can it be done in a single visit and what is the prognosis of such cases?

At the end of this 2-hour presentation participants will be able to:

1. List the clinical and radiographical criteria required to determine the appropriate therapy.
2. Distinguish between vital pulp therapy and non-vital therapy.
3. Describe the clinical steps and materials required to accomplish the appropriate treatment.

A variety of cases with clinical images and videos will be showed in order to better illustrate the various concepts.

A maximum of 20 participants per course. Dinner and drinks will be provided.
