The course part “Billing of endodontic services” is also transmitted online. Your dental hygienist has the opportunity to participate in this part of the course free of charge.
Participation in individual modules on request.
The curriculum is designed to provide participants with an overview of the fundamentals and current state of endodontology. Es wird ihnen dabei helfen, ein eigenes, wissenschaftlich fundiertes und biologisch orientiertes Therapiekonzept zu entwickeln. Es werden eine Vielzahl von Instrumenten, Techniken und Materialien vorgestellt sowie kritisch diskutiert, um den Teilnehmern Leitlinien zur Bewertung und Auswahl an die Hand zu geben. Die Teilnehmer sollen in die Lage versetzt werden, den Schwierigkeitsgrad auch komplexer Fälle einzuschätzen, potentielle Probleme rechtzeitig zu erkennen, nach Möglichkeit zu vermeiden, bei Eintritt aber adäquat zu managen sowie ihr Behandlungsspektrum schrittweise auszuweiten. Zugleich soll die Fähigkeit zur Vorstellung und (selbst-)kritischen kollegialen Diskussion klinischer Fälle geschult werden. Der Kursteil endodontologische Abrechnung wird auch Live gestreamt, so dass Ihre ZMV die Möglichkeit der kostenfreien Teilnahme erhält.

Dental trauma: consider biology, restore esthetics (Univ.-Prof. Dr. Krastl)
Focus on modern biologically oriented, evidence-based traumatology on the promotion of wound healing processes. Cell physiological storage media, tetracyclines, steroids, enamel matrix proteins, biocompatible as well as biomimetic materials are individual pieces of the puzzle that complement each other to form new therapy concepts and, in complex cases, decide whether teeth are retained or lost. In children, it is important to avoid negative effects on jaw growth and to take into account the still high life expectancy of the patients.
- Primary care: What materials do I need in the practice?
- Therapy after tooth fracture: bonding the fragment, composite or all-ceramic?
- Crown fractures with root involvement: Crown lengthening, extrusion, or intentional replantation?
- Root transverse fracture: Why such teeth can usually be preserved in the long term without any problems?
- Influencing healing processes in dislocation injuries: Emdogain, cortisone, or tetracycline?
- Endo in wide open apex: what can MTA do, how is it used?
- Managing late effects after trauma: are there even “hopeless” cases?
- Dealing with resorptions due to infection: Which insert?
- Dealing with ankylosed teeth
- Traumatic tooth discoloration: How and with what to bleach?
Billing of endodontic services (ZMV Parlak)
- When BEMA – when GOZ?
- GKV treatment guidelines: What should be considered?
- Prohibition of co-payments in the SHI system
- Non-contractual services, calculation of materials, case studies.

Topic: Introduction to the curriculum
Speakers: Univ.-Prof. Hülsmann, Univ.-Prof. Schäfer
Course dates: Fri 09.02.24, 14:00 – 19:00 and Sat 10.02.24, 09:00 – 17:00
Please bring:
- Protective or magnifying glasses
- Diamond cutter and rose drill
- Reprocessing instruments Reamer ISO 08 + 010
- Reprocessing instruments Hedström files ISO 15-40
- Gates Glidden Drill
- If available: Micro opener
- Extracted teeth OK/UK molars and/or anterior teeth plastered in place
Extracted teeth in larger numbers, especially maxillary and mandibular molars (6-8 each), but also anterior teeth and premolars must be brought. The teeth must have intact root tips and in some cases should also have moderate and difficult curvatures. Please x-ray the teeth before the course (and before plastering). If teeth are plastered, please measure beforehand by holding an instrument. Extensive fillings and crowns should already be removed, as the focus of the exercises is on finding and showing the canal entrances.
The teeth may be plastered, but this is not absolutely necessary.
Ideally, the teeth are embedded so that the root tips are exposed and can be inspected (when plastering, coat root tips with wax, which can then be removed again).
ATTENTION: The teeth are also needed for the following course days for preparation and filling! Please keep them moist throughout!
Please collect already root canal filled extracted teeth for the course part “Revisions”.
A tooth with a metal pin should also be collected or prepared for this course day (pin removal exercises).
