April General Membership Meeting with Dr. Rajiv Patel - In Person

The implant era has revolutionized treatment paradigms, creating complex decision-making scenarios between tooth preservation and extraction. With both endodontic treatment and dental implants achieving exceptional survival rates, clinicians face challenging choices requiring systematic diagnostic approaches. Dental trauma management exemplifies these tough decisions, demanding coordinated multidisciplinary strategies, particularly in growing patients. Through case-based analysis of lateral luxation, crown-root fractures, intrusion and avulsion, this presentation explores pushing therapeutic boundaries while maintaining conservative principles. Success requires understanding when to triumph through preservation versus strategic extraction. Systematic checklists prevent errors in these high-stakes decisions, ensuring optimal outcomes in an era where multiple viable treatment options create both opportunities and dilemmas.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Learn how to coordinate multidisciplinary care teams for optimal patient outcomes through collaborative treatment approaches
• Identify when to push therapeutic limits versus when conservative approaches are indicated for long-term success
• Establish systematic protocols and checklists to minimize errors and enhance consistency in compex treatment planning
