Description
Naturally, dentists don’t shy away from sharing their best cases. From study clubs, conferences and particularly now in the age of social media, we are inundated with excellent treatments provided by colleagues on a daily basis. However, we must ask ourselves…
Is this misleading? Is it realistic? And is it beneficial? or have these platforms now become an ‘echo chamber’ of praise.

Endo
- Title: When endo goes wrong! How to rescue failing cases without resorting to extractions.
- Lecturer: Dr Daniel Flynn
- eCPD: Development Outcome C
Synopsis
Every dentist faces treatment planning dilemmas every day in practice. As treatment options evolve, it is becoming more and more difficult to assess the merits of each treatment option and to explain the pros and cons of each option to the patient. We are required to be aware of the clinically relevant scientific evidence and we also need to understand our own strengths and weaknesses, as clinicians, and how best to address each patients needs and preferences. Dr. Daniel Flynn will discuss some cases from the viewpoint of orthograde endodontics, surgical endodontics and implant dentistry. Different approaches will be discussed, and we will try to reach a consensus at the end of the discussion.
Aim- To discuss the treatment options when mishaps or failure occurs following endodontic treatment.
Objectives:
- To show the thought process of a specialist endodontist in resolving failing cases
- To discuss treatment strategies
