Dr. Massimo Giovarruscio

Thrill of the Fill: Mastering Complex Canals and Restoration with Minimally Invasive Approach

FRIDAY 30TH JANUARY TIME: 11:30 - 12:30
BAAD Lion

AboutThe Speaker

Dr. Massimo Giovarruscio is a highly skilled professional, with extensive experience in Endodontics, Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry. With over 25 years' experience in dentistry, he has developed his reputation within the profession as an excellent clinician and endodontist.

He is accredited specialist in endodontics and he was a Clinical Teacher in Endodontics at King's College London Dental Institute to both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students. Visiting Professor at Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera Valencia, Master Internacional en Odontologia Restauradora y Endodoncia.

He works in Rome and Bristol, specialising in endodontic treatment and restoration of endodontically treated teeth and is regarded as a World Opinion Leader in endodontics and restorative procedures related to the endodontically treated tooth. He lectures world-wide and has published many articles in international journals, and written several endodontic chapters and manuals recognised and used by the University. Active member of the European Society of Endodontology, British Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry, Italian Society of Endodontics. Massimo is also a member of Styleitaliano Endodontics, the largest dental study group in the web, with the mission of setting excellence standards while simplifying protocols in this vast world of Endodontics.

Abstract

In an era where saving teeth once deemed "unsalvageable" is becoming increasingly achievable, endodontists are challenged to push clinical boundaries with both skill and strategy. This presentation delves into the heart of complex endodontic treatment - highlighting the thrill, the challenges, and the precision required to navigate intricate root canal systems while preserving tooth structure. Focusing on a minimally invasive approach, this session will explore contemporary methods for managing anatomically and structurally compromised teeth through advanced diagnostics, canal negotiation techniques, and restorative integration. Participants will gain practical insights into decision-making, the use of modern tools and materials, and restorative techniques that support long-term success. Join us as we uncover how the synergy between endodontic expertise and thoughtful restoration can redefine what's possible in tooth preservation - because sometimes, the most difficult cases bring out the best in clinical skill.

LearningAims & Objectives

To explore contemporary approaches in the management of complex endodontic cases, emphasizing minimally invasive techniques for root canal treatment and restoration, with the goal of improving long-term tooth survival and clinical outcomes.

Objectives

By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Identify diagnostic criteria and decision-making frameworks for managing structurally and anatomically compromised teeth.
  • Understand the principles of minimally invasive endodontics (MIE) and their application in complex canal systems.
  • Discuss current techniques and technologies for negotiating, cleaning, and shaping challenging root canal anatomies.
  • Evaluate restorative strategies that complement endodontic treatment in maintaining tooth structure and function.
  • Apply clinical problem-solving approaches to enhance predictability in endodontic and restorative outcomes.

Key Learning Points

  • The importance of case selection and diagnostic precision in managing complex endodontic cases.
  • Techniques and tools for conservative access, canal negotiation, and cleaning in difficult anatomies.
  • Integration of endodontic and restorative planning for tooth preservation.
  • The role of biomaterials and modern adhesive techniques in post-endodontic restoration.
  • How a minimally invasive philosophy can enhance longevity, aesthetics, and functional outcomes in high-risk teeth.
