Clinicians and scientists recognized throughout the international endodontic and pediatric dental communities will speak at a multidisciplinary joint symposium on traumatic dental injuries.

The American Association of Endodontists and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry will hold their second joint symposium on traumatic injuries November 9-10 at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The meeting, Contemporary Management of Traumatic Injuries to the Permanent Dentition, is comprised of two full days of programming where attendees can earn 13 continuing education credits.

Topics include treatment options and diagnosis of several traumatic dental injuries, as well as a panel discussion on treatment planning and collaboration between specialists.

After attending the meeting, participants will have gained the knowledge to identify different types of traumatic dental injuries, understand the methods to prevent damage to permanent teeth, discuss diagnostic methods and outcomes of previously traumatized permanent teeth and much more.

“The AAE and AAPD have chosen to join forces in an effort to identify the best course to take while handling traumatic dental injuries,” said AAE President Dr. James C. Kulild. “Both associations encourage partnership in the dental community to offer patients the best care possible.”

“We are pleased to align with the AAE in presenting a program that showcases the best dental practices and emerging treatment concepts by deploying an evidence-based approach,” stated AAPD President Dr. Joel H. Berg. “Collaboration is key when providing a unique educational opportunity such as this one to our respective members, and we’re very excited about the invaluable knowledge that will be attained at the conclusion of this symposium.”

Well-established endodontic and pediatric dentistry speakers include Drs. Leif K. Bakland, Kenneth M. Hargreaves, Dennis J. McTigue, Ove A. Peters and William F. Vann, Jr.

Following the meeting, both associations will release special edition journals that will include speaker manuscripts and meeting proceedings, including relevant findings. To learn more about the meeting or to register, visit www.aae.org/traumameeting.
