LECTURES
Mastering Radiographic and Tomographic Interpretation in Endodontics: A Case-Based Perspective
Assoc. Prof. Burçin Arıcan
This lecture provides a comprehensive exploration of radiographic and tomographic imaging in endodontics, highlighting their critical roles in diagnosis and treatment planning. Through an in-depth discussion of real-life case examples, participants will examine key topics such as root fractures, periapical pathologies, extra root canals, retreatment cases, fractured instruments, resorptive defects etc.
A special focus will be placed on comparing two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging modalities, addressing their advantages, limitations, and appropriate clinical applications. Attendees will gain valuable insights into when, where, and how to use these imaging techniques effectively to optimize diagnostic accuracy and enhance clinical decision making. This session aims to equip practitioners with advanced skills to interpret complex cases and improve patient outcomes in everyday endodontic practice.
Orthodontic-Restorative Interactions in Interdisciplinary Cases
Prof. Derya Çakan
In contemporary dentistry, treatment approaches withincreased interaction between disciplines in order toachieve natural, esthetic dental outcomes gainimportance. The aims of this lecture are to answer thesequestions “Which cases require interdisciplinarytreatment?”, “What are the key points that must be considered in interdisciplinary treatments?”, “What can be expected from Orthodontics?” particularly for patientsrequiring anterior restorations and explain theinterdisciplinary treatment process on cases from an orthodontic perspective.
Esthetic and Functional Restorations using Injection Molding Technique
Prof. Esra Can
Learn key elements in patients selection, functional and esthetic analysis of anterior region for direct composite veneers and treatment planning for posterior direct restorations in worn dentition using injection molding technique.
Gain insights into material selection, adhesive procedures and composite application techniques using digital and analog systems.
Evaluate the success and failures of the restorations with respect to functional and esthetic parameters.
Pressure of Perfection: Mental Health in Dental Education Panel Discussion
Prof. Tim Newton
Prof. Dr. Ali Çekici
Deniz Devrim Kaya
Dr. Ali Al-Zuhairi Theyab
Dental education is a rigorous journey characterized by high academic and clinical expectations, long hours of study and practice, and immense pressure to excel. While the pursuit of excellence is an integral part of the profession, the accompanying stress often takes a toll on the mental health of dental students. This panel aims to address this critical issue, fostering an open dialogue about mental health challenges in dental education and exploring strategies to promote resilience and well-being among students.
Involving different voices will provide a comprehensive understanding of these challenges from diverse perspectives. Each panelist brings unique insights into the systemic, institutional, and personal factors influencing mental health, creating a balanced and holistic conversation about how to promote positive change in dental education.
HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS
Artificial Intelligence and Practical Applied Digital Dental Radiology Education in Dentistry
Prof. Dr. Filiz Namdar Pekiner
Assoc. Prof. Gaye Sezgin Keser
Artificial intelligence applications are coming to the fore in the health sector, especially with the serial developments in diagnostics and radiology. One of the most promising points in this respect is the application of artificial intelligence in medical imaging, including image processing and interpretation.
With this course, we aim to make dentists aware of the concept of artificial intelligence and to introduce them to the applications of artificial intelligence in dentistry. Thanks to the artificial intelligence-based platform of CranioCatch, which is included in the course content, dentists will benefit from digital dental radiology training where they can improve themselves in the field of radiology.
The course programme will cover artificial intelligence and its history, introduce artificial intelligence applications in dentistry, and then, using CranioCatch, participants will have the experience of labelling anatomical and pathological formations on dental radiographs.
First-Level Suture Hands-On Course on Sutures and Dental Suturing
Prof. Dr. Korkud Demirel
This hands-on course is designed to introduce participants to suture materials and suturing instruments, as well as foundational suturing techniques. Attendees will practice basic, continuous, and mattress sutures using high-quality silicone models, gaining essential skills in a controlled, practical settingBy the end of this course, participants will be able to understand the key characteristics of suture materials and basic suturing techniques, apply the fundamental principles of suturing effectively, and develop essential hand skills required for working with suturing instruments..
