Ricucci Endo Day in Tallinn

"Biological aspects in prevention and treatment of pulp and periapical disease"

We are delighted to annouce a major International in-person event by one of the most famous endodontists in the world Dr. Domenico Ricucci from Italy presenting for the very first time in the Baltics. The event will take place in Tallinn, Estonia on November 12, 2022.

Part 1: Vital pulp therapy: pulp vitality in deep caries lesions

• Tissue response to shallow, medium and deep caries.
• Diagnostic tools in the diagnosis of reversible/irreversible pulpitis. Correlation between clinical and histologic pulp diagnoses.
• Controversies about the depth of caries excavation. Selective vs non-selective caries excavation.
• Indirect pulp therapy. Why the concept is biologically wrong.
• Direct pulp capping..
• Partial and full pulpotomy as an alternative to root canal treatment.
• Old and new biomaterials. Comparison between Calcium hydroxide, MTA compounds and Ca-silicate cements.

Part 2: Endodontic infections: impact on the treatment outcome

• Patterns of microbial colonization of the root canal system.
• Periapical lesion formation.
• Apical limit of root canal instrumentation and obturation. The controversial issue of apical "patency"..
• Lateral canals: the never-ending story.
• Limitations in achieving a sterile root canal system with chemo-mechanical instrumentation. Do the "new technologies" work.
• Success and failure in endodontics. An overview.

Dr. Domenico Ricucci. MD, DDS.

Dr. Domenico Ricucci received his degree in General Medicine from "La Sapienza" University of Rome in 1982, and his DDS from the same University in 1985. Since then on he has maintained private dental practices limited to endodontics. He served in the Research Committee of the European Society of Endodontology from 1999 to 2005. Since 1998 he has run his own histology laboratory and his primary research interest relates to pulpal and periapical tissue reactions to caries and treatment procedures, biofilms in endodontic infections, etiology of RTC treatment failure, pulp regeneration / revascularization.

Dr Ricucci has published 112 papers and has lectured both nationally and internationally. He has authored the Textbook and Atlas "Patologia e Clinica Endodontica", the textbook and atlas "Endodontology. An integrated biological and clinical view", also translated into Chinese, Russian, Japanese. He has also authored or co-authored 22 book chapters.
