ENDODONCTION AND CONSERVATORY STOMATOLOGY

Endodontics is the most precise discipline of dentistry.Nowadays, it makes it possible to preserve very many teeth and postpone the moment of extraction for many years.Its capabilities today make it possible to save teeth that only two decades ago were regularly extracted.The lecture will discuss the use of advanced technologies that are slowly becoming world standards, and those that are currently new, but are undoubtedly the future of endodontics.They are making our endodontic procedures ever more precise and predictable, and pushing the boundaries of salvaging ever more challenging cases.

Working with dental materials requires constant updating of knowledge and improvement of working techniques. The lecture deals with modern knowledge of algorithms for daily work with adhesive materials. It will discuss the principles of selecting a bonding system and a composite or composite cement. During the lecture, participants will learn about the factors that fundamentally affect the quality of direct restorations (contamination of the circulation field, adhesion techniques, application techniques and principles of polymerization).

OCCLUSION

Paro

Periodontal surgery is directed at limiting the extent of intervention and exploiting the innate healing potential of the tissues. Such a procedure creates conditions that facilitate periodontal tissue reconstruction while limiting negative soft tissue contour changes. The lecture will aim to present the current state of knowledge on periodontal tissue reconstruction/regeneration. The possibilities and limitations of treatment techniques and their predictability over time will be presented.

Surgery

A prerequisite for long-term success in comprehensive dental treatment is to ensure the orthopedic stability of the masticatory organ. Regardless of the controversies on this subject available in the literature, clinical experience unquestionably shows better treatment results if the parameters of mandibular mobility taking into account the physiology of the temporomandibular joints and correct intermaxillary relations are taken into account already from the diagnostic stage. However, the analog instruments available since the mid-20th century that allowed fairly accurate recording and reproduction of dynamic occlusal parameters under laboratory conditions were fraught with limitations due to the sheer inadequacy of the mechanical devices, and were associated with tedious and time-consuming clinical and laboratory procedures.  Nowadays, we commonly use digital techniques in dentistry. The question arises - what advantages do the new digital instruments available give us in terms of the functional analysis of the masticatory organ and the design of reconstructions that restore the lost function of the masticatory organ. The purpose of the lecture is to try to answer the above questions.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) - a syndrome of temporomandibular disorders - has a wide range of prevalence. According to the latest epidemiological data, they can affect between 10 and 90% of the population. Characteristic symptoms include pain in the muscles of the masticatory organ and/or temporomandibular joints, sound symptoms in the temporomandibular joints (crackling, popping) and disruption of the mandibular mobility pattern. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement is a clinically significant condition, showing a high prevalence in both patient and non-patient populations, which has been recognized as a clinically significant problem . The basis of the diagnostic process, therefore, is the clinical analysis of the mandibular mobility model and the function of the condylo-mandibular complex of the temporomandibular joint. Modern volumetric tomography, with very high resolution, also known as cone-beam CT - CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), umożliwia wgląd w struktury dotychczas niedostępne technikom konwencjonalnym. Dokładność badań CBCT jest tak znacząca, że nie sposób tego rodzaju badań porównać z „tradycyjnymi” metodami RTG i rutyno stosowanymi w stomatologii. Na podstawie obrazów CBCT jesteśmy w stanie ocenić struktury kostne, potwierdzić ich wzajemną  integralność oraz ocenić stopień zaawansowania i/lub progresji zmian chorobowych, co odgrywa istotną rolę w planowaniu postępowania klinicznego. Jednak ocena wzajemnych zależności jest w ścisłej korelacji ze znajomością anatomicznych szczegółów tych okolic, które, jak wskazuje wieloletnie doświadczenie, pozostają w ścisłym związku w aspekcie morfologicznym, jak i funkcjonalnym  z pozostałymi elementami układu stomatognatycznego nie wyłączając okluzji.

Modern dentistry is not only about technology but also about a holistic approach to patient health. This lecture will present the latest scientific findings on the role of diet in reducing inflammation in periodontal diseases. It will cover the mechanisms by which nutrition influences gum inflammation, the oral microbiome, and the systemic immune response. Participants will gain practical dietary recommendations that can serve as significant therapeutic support in everyday clinical practice.
