Abstract:
Although the development of electronic technology, electronic devices, such as cell phones or personal computers (PCs) have spread worldwide in recent years; however, there have been several reports of physical abnormalities occurring because of electro-magnetic waves emitted by such electronic devices. In addition, the incidence of adverse biological effects due to electromagnetic waves may be increasing. Such unpleasant symptoms are termed as electromagnetic hypersensitivity. This condition includes many symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, tinnitus, dizziness, memory loss, irregular heartbeats, and dermatological symptoms, which are considered to be caused by electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Dental implants have spread worldwide in dentistry. The risks and complications reported are limited to local issues. However, sometimes, there are patients who complained of systemic symptoms after dental implantation. The aim of my presentation is to demonstrate that systemic symptoms such as lumbago, shoulder stiffness, neck pain, hip joint pain, and facial pain improved after the removal of well-osseointegrated titanium implants. The results suggest that harmful electromagnetic waves received by implants affect body conditions; however, to date, the underlying mechanisms have not been identified. Therefore, further research regarding the same is required.

Abstract:
Intentional replantation (IR) is a concept that has been known for over a thousand years, it is defined by Grossman (1966) as an atraumatic extraction of a tooth and its reinsertion into its socket immediately after endodontic treatment and apical repair is done extra-orally. Intentional replantation is a treatment option when more conventional forms of treatment and retreatment either fail or are impossible. Recent case reports have demonstrated that with good case selection, intentional replantation can be a reliable and predictable procedure. The two most important factors for successful intentional replantation procedures are short extraoral time and atraumatic extraction. Through case reports, the indications and contraindications for intentional replantation will be discussed. The updated procedures for this rarely used treatment will be presented.

Keynote: Effectiveness of irrigation as the key factor in root canal treatment of teeth with apical periodontitis
Biography:
Dimitrios Tziafas is a Professor in Endodontics, and he did his Master Program in Endodontics from Hamdan Bin Mohamed College of Dental Medicine, MBRU in Medicine and Health Sciences, DHCC, Dubai, UAE. He is engaged with teaching in Endodontics for more than 30 years. He chaired the Department of Endodontics in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (1999-2013) and served as the Director of Master Programs in Endodontics in AUTH (2004-2013) and European University College, Dubai (2014-2016). He has published eight invited reviews in biomedical and dental journals, and has over 45 peer-reviewed research papers, a monograph on reparative dentinogenesis and textbooks chapters relating to pulp biology. His research interests include cytodifferentiation mechanisms during tooth development and dental pulp repair/regeneration, and preclinical evaluation of endodontic materials. He is actively involved with the Research Committee of European Society of Endodontology (2004-present). He served as the President of IADR – Continental European Division (2006-2008).
Abstract:
Effective chemomechanical preparation of the root canal and optimal 3-d obturation have been recognized as the two ultimate goals of endodontic treatment, more particularly in teeth with necrotic infected pulp and apical periodontitis disease. The effectiveness of irrigation in the complex root canal system at the apical root canal remains the most critical therapeutic requirement to treat apical periodontits. Experimental approaches and clinical data showed that irrigation is the most effective way for eradication of the root canal bacteria (planktonic and biofilms). The characteristics of irrigation protocol, such as the solution flow dynamics and irrigant replacement, have been recently attracted attention as the key factors in successful treatment outcome. The aim of this study is to critically review observations in relation to the variation of morphology of the apical canal system in different tooth types, and the required profile of apical canal instrumentation. The cross sectional diameter of the apical part of the used hand and rotary files, need to be evaluated before application of the irrigation protocol. The instrumentation technique should also be selected on the basis of the desirable geometry of apical root canal preparation. Finally the optimal working length must be carefully determined and confirmed in order to decrease the risk of apical debris and irrigant extrusion. The apical root canal irrigation as a balance between effectiveness and safety is further discussed and conclusions are justified on the following subjects: 1. The desirable size of apical enlargement, 2. The optimal design (taper) of apical part of instruments and 3. Distance of irrigation needle from the apex and 4. The specific form of irrigation needle tip.
