Le congrès international annuel de la SFE est le rendez vous incontournable français, pour tous les chirurgiens dentistes qui veulent être à la pointe de l’endodontie.

Chaque année un sujet d’actualité est choisi par le comité scientifique de la SFE sur les bases de la littérature scientifique et clinique : sujet nouveau, technique innovante, matériaux récents, controverses, aspects médico-économiques de l’endodontie au cœur de l’odontologie, de la santé générale et du bien être de nos patients.

Ce congrès convivial permet aux chirurgiens-dentistes et endodontistes de connaître, d’acquérir, et d’appliquer dans leur cabinet les dernières données actuelles de la discipline.

C’est de plus l’occasion pour tous les praticiens en formation spécifique d’endodontie (DU/CES/ Master) ou ceux qui veulent aller plus loin, d’approfondir d’échanger de façon très proche sur un sujet pointu avec les meilleurs spécialistes mondiaux sur le sujet grâce à la « Master Class ».

Le congrès international est aussi un espace pour tous les praticiens leur permettant de présenter leurs cas cliniques (titularisation), exposer leurs recherches cliniques ou fondamentales, rencontrer tous les fabricants et revendeurs de matériel et matériaux endodontiques et de tester les nouvelles techniques, instrumentations, matériaux.

Le congrès international annuel de la SFE, c’est aussi la reconnaissance internationale de l’Endodontie Française. N’hésitez plus, rejoignez nous nombreux.

Le congrès 2017 vous propose d’aborder sous un angle original et novateur la thématique de la désinfection en endodontie.

Les techniques et dispositifs de désinfection canalaire sont en pleine mutation : ultrasons, pression apicale négative, ondes acoustiques photo-activées…

L’irrigation activée par laser va-t-elle révolutionner nos pratiques ou s’agit-il d’un énième gadget?

2 jours de formation pour aborder les basiques de la désinfection, comprendre les échecs potentiels, évaluer les techniques d’irrigation disponibles.

Venez partager un moment convivial et profiter de conférenciers de renommée internationale.

Et comme tous les ans ce qui fait le succès de notre congrès : Masterclass, séance cas cliniques interactive, remise du prix Paul Calas, exposition de nos partenaires !

Disinfection : issues in endodontics

In recent years, we have been witnesses of the great technological development in different aspects of endodontics, including: mechanical instrumentation and obturation. While these technical innovations have enhanced our clinical skills, and conceivably improved the outcomes of treatments, the main goal of endodontics is still centered in the elimination of microorganisms from the root canal systems and to prevent their secondary invasion after treatment. Current methods in endodontic disinfection are centered in the eradication and prevention of formation of biofilm structures. In biofilms, micro-organisms can remain deep-seated in root canals or covering extra-radicular surfaces, therefore, biofilm remain as one of the main causes of persistent infections. This lecture will cover basic biological aspects of root canal disinfection in order to gain deeper understanding of the factors that negatively affect the outcome of endodontic treatment.

Luis E. Chávez de Paz, DDS, MS, PhD

Dr. Luis Chàvez de Paz received his Master of Science and Doctoral degree in Odontology from the University of Gothenburg. His doctoral thesis was defended in 2005 and was a clinical and experimental work that focused on bacteria that persisted during and after root canal treatment.

Luis research interests cover the main areas of oral and endodontic microbiology, with particular focus on microbial biofilms. Within these areas, Luis’s research has centered on studying the physiology of endodontic bacteria and their molecular responses to stress. Luis has authored several publications in scientific journals including reviews and textbook chapters, all with high citation ranks. He is frequently invited to lecture for endodontic societies and endodontic study groups on a worldwide basis. Continuously he educates himself in microbiology and in the latest research on root canal therapy to provide the latest and the best treatment to his patients.

Luis Chavez de Paz currently holds the position as the Head of Endodontics at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

Prof. dr. Roeland De Moor

A critical assessment of the clinical attainments with present-day endodontic irrigation and disinfection agents and methods  /  Evaluation de l’efficacité clinique des solutions d’irrigation et de leur mise en œuvre

Since the beginning of the century a radical evolution in the application of endodontic irrigants took place.  Different devices and protocols for the activation of irrigants were proposed and investigated. A number of approaches such as ultrasonically activated irrigation (UAI) and laser-activated irrigation (LAI) demonstrated their superiority. It is, though, the question if they ensure value added cleaning and disinfection or if all this does not really makes the difference in obtaining higher endodontic success ratios and in a better preservation of teeth.

During this presentation information is provided on how ultrasound and lasers three-dimensionally  interact with smear layer, debris and biofilms, on what the difference is between the two techniques as compared to more conventional irrigation techniques, and an answer is provided to the question if there is substantial evidence for the effectiveness of the present-day used endodontic irrigation solutions.

Prof. dr. Roeland De Moor

Prof. dr. Roeland De Moor is ordinary full professor at the Ghent University, teaching restorative Dentistry, Endodontology and Dento-alveolar Traumatology. He is the head of the department & research cluster of Restorative Dentistry and Endodontology, and is also the director of the three-year master-after-master programme in Endodontics. At present he is also guest professor at the Dental School of the Medical University of Vienna with a focus on laser dentistry and endodontics.

His research is focussed on the cleaning and disinfection of root canals with o.a.  laser activated irrigation and light activated nanoparticles, the use of lasers and light in dentistry such as Laser Doppler Flow Metry and laser bleaching. Furthermore, his department has lines of research in endodontic epidemiology, endodontic quality, minimal invasive restorative techniques, the build-up of root canal treated teeth and the use of bio-active materials in endodontics. He lectures worldwide on laser bleaching, the use of lasers and light in endodontics, and the application of nanotechnology for endodontic purposes. He serves as a member of the editorial board of the International Endodontic Journal, the Journal of Endodontics and the Journal of Adhesive Dentistry; and is a member of the educational committee of ESE. In 2017 he is your host during the ESE congress in Brussels together with BAET (Belgian Association of Endodontics and Traumatology) and FsSFE (Flemish Society of Endodontology).

Dr. Christos Boutsioukis

 Contribution of technology to irrigation.

Irrigation is an essential step during root canal treatment. Over the years, a vast amount of research and manufacturing efforts have been concentrated on the development of new and elaborate irrigation techniques and devices in order to supplement conventional syringe irrigation or, in some cases, even replace it. Novel delivery systems, activation by various methods or combinations of these have been introduced to facilitate cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system. This lecture will discuss the advantages and limitations of these new techniques for irrigant delivery and activation through a multidisciplinary approach and a critical appraisal of the available evidence.

Dr. Christos Boutsioukis

Dr. Christos Boutsioukis received his DDS degree in 2003 and his postgraduate certificate in Endodontics in 2006 from the University of Thessaloniki in Greece. From 2007-2010 he divided his time between the University of Thessaloniki, the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA) and the Physics of Fluids group at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, towards completion of  the PhD degree. In 2011 he became postdoctoral researcher in the Physics of Fluids group, University of Twente and in 2013 he joined ACTA, where he is currently Assistant Professor in the Division of Endodontology. He has authored or co-authored more than 25 papers in peer-reviewed journals and three book chapters and serves as a referee for several international journals. His main research interest lies in experimental and computational methods to study the Fluid Dynamics of root canal irrigation.
