What's New in Pulp Space Biology?
Presented by Dr Christine Sedgley
With supporting presentations by Drs Michelle Heffernan, Jin-Seon Song, Barbara Plutzer and Arna-Lee Jensen
Dr Christine Sedgley received her BDS, MDS, and MDSc(Endodontics) and Fellowship in Restorative Dentistry in Australia, her PhD in oral microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, and her Advanced Specialty Certificate in Endodontics from the University of Michigan. She is presently an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan where she is involved with microbiology research, endodontic education, and patient care. Dr Sedgley has participated in more than 70 continuing education and research presentations and has published over 50 papers and abstracts. Dr Sedgley authored the microbial virulence chapter in the Endodontic Microbiology textbook, and co-authored the Endodontic Microbiology chapter in the latest Ingle’s Endodontics. She is on the scientific advisory board/editorial board of several journals including the Journal of Endodontics, the International Endodontic Journal and the Australian Endodontic Journal.

Update on the clinical management of infected root canals – a practical perspective.
Root canal disinfection is a key objective of endodontic therapy. However, there is increasing evidence that this may not be predictably achievable. This presentation is aimed at both Dentists and Endodontists who would like to review and update their knowledge as well as gain a practical perspective on the effectiveness of current clinical practices used to control microorganisms in endodontic infections.
Dr Barbara Plutzer
Endodontic Medicaments and E Faecalis biofilm.
Enterococcus faecalis is one of the most prevalent species isolated from failed root canals. The efficacy of commonly used endodontic medicaments against an E. faecalis biofilm was evaluated. The medicaments used were Ledermix paste, Calcium hydroxide, Odontopaste, 2% Chlorhexidine and 50:50 combinations of Ledermix/Calcium hydroxide and Odontopaste/Calcium hydroxide.
Dr Michelle Heffernan
Is Calcium Hydroxide just Pixie Dust?
Is calcium hydroxide the medicament of choice for non-vital teeth or is there something better? This presentation will discuss intracanal medicaments and if calcium hydroxide still has a role in endodontics. Have we reached the point of single-visit endodontics?
Dr Arna-Lee Jensen
The interim restoration: the often forgotten part of endodontics.
The prevention of bacterial ingress, during and after endodontic treatment, with the use of temporary and interim restorations has an important role in endodontics today. The clinical use of interim restorations in achieving a predictable and favourable outcome will be explored.
Dr Christine Sedgley
"Regenerative endodontics" – what does it mean and how far have we come?
Regenerative endodontics has emerged as a promising endodontic treatment therapy in selected cases. This presentation will provide an overview of regenerative endodontics and discuss recent developments as well as discussing the clinical aspects of applications, case selection and challenges.
Dr Jin Song
Electronic Apex Locators.
One of the most clinically significant and useful devices introduced in endodontics over the past three decades has been the electronic apex locator. Understanding the basic concept behind its use will assist the practitioner to achieve consistent and reliable clinical results. Current literature will be reviewed in order to compare different types of apex locators.
