Continuing education course
SUNDAY, APRIL 29 9 A.M. - Noon G. JOHN SCHOEFFEL, DDS, MMS, Lancaster, CA KENNETH L. ZAKARIASEN, DDS, MS, PhD University of Alberta
FULTON S. YEE, DDS, San Francisco
FRIDAY, APRIL 27 1:30 P.M. - 5 P.M.
Lasers, Intentional Apical Plugs and Other New Directions in Endodontic Instrumentation/Obturation Laser radiation utilizing a fiber optic delivery system and intentional apical plugging offer exciting new directions in endodontics. Improved canal sealability, more favorable apical tissue responses and effective obturation techniques, are possible. These topics and their potential interactions will be discussed and illustrated in detail.
Root Canal Obturation Utilizing the PAC.160 Method of Thermoplastic Injection-Molding Technical advancements in the thermoplastic injectionmolded gutta-percha obturation method now address the problem of apical control. Clinical applications, indications, limitations and contraindications of this technique will be presented and supported by current research, including studies in density, S.E.M., and sealing ability. Clinical case histories will also be presented.
RONALD JORDAN, DDS, MSD, University of Western Ontario
The advent of new, improved composite materials together with the development of refined techniques, has resulted in a conservative approach to restoration of anterior and posterior teeth. RONALD MELZACK, DDS, MS, PhD, McGill University
The use of new composite materials in restoration of endodontically treated teeth and pulpal considerations relative to the materials will be discussed in detail.
SATURDAY, APRIL 28 9 A.M. - Noon
Recent Concepts of Pain Control Pain experience comprises at least three dimensions-sensory, affective and cognitive. Pain control can be achieved by attempting to influence one or more of these. Sensory modulation procedures, such as local blocks or electrical stimulation, are effective. So are methods aimed at influencing the emotional and cognitive components of pain.

CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSE Wednesday, April 25, 9 A.M. - 5 P.M. Biological and Clinical Aspects of Bone Repair and Regeneration J.N.M. HEERSCHE, PhD, University of Toronto; ANTHONY H. MELCHER, PhD, University of Toronto; JAMES T. MELLONIG, DDS, MS, Naval Research Dental Center; GERALD M. BOWERS, DDS, MS, University of Maryland This course will provide the endodontist with a complete updating in bone physiology, bone grafting, bone repair and regeneration. It will provide a sound scientific basis for our understanding of bone physiology.
