Abstract
Endodontics is improving by leaps and bounds every year. It has become a predictable procedure to be completed in minimum/single sitting in most of the cases. If we follow basic principles of RCT, healing follows without fail. I have been advocating single visit RCT since a decade. We will present even simpler version of the procedure with new rotary and obturation system with modern treatment protocol. One can gain immediate knowledge and expertise about single visit RCT to apply in his or her own practice after attending this live session.
The ultimate goal of any direct/indirect dental restoration is to be fabricated, inserted, and adjusted in harmonious contacts with the pre-existing occlusion. Dental practitioners have long relied on articulating papers to achieve this. Articulating papers help mark contact points which can be evaluated and adjusted by interpreting them based on their size and color intensity.
Inability to adjust a restoration correctly can have profound short and long term implications on the restoration as well as the health of the stomatognathic system at large. Even the smallest high
spot, measuring just a few microns, can cause porcelain/abutment fractures, interproximal food lodgement, sensitivity, MPDS, TMD etc. It is therefore essential, for the benefit of the patient, to

Articulating papers are available in varying thickness- ranging from 200 microns down to 8 microns. Fixed prosthesis/restorations vary from removal prosthesis to implant prosthesis and each needs occlusion to be coded with specific thickness of articulating papers to ensure long term survival of the prosthesis and overall stability of the system. Papers are also available in varying colors like blue, red, black, green etc.; with each color having a specific role to play. This lecture shall help an attending clinician understand and choose an articulating paper wisely.
Recently, digitalization has found roads into occlusion- especially for analysis of bite force and timing. Sophisticated gadgets and their role in dental occlusal analysis shall also be addressed in this session.
So come attend this novel lecture where Dr. Khakiani will enlighten us about articulating papers and their prudent use in clinical dentistry.
