Dr. Manfred Friedman graduated from the University of Witwatersrand Johannesburg in 1971 and then obtained his B.Ch.D. Honours at the University of Pretoria in 1980. He immigrated to Canada in 1987 where he took up a full time position at the University of Western Ontario and was appointed as Director of Dentistry at The Southwestern Regional Center for developmentally challenged adults from 1987 to 1994. Dr. Friedman was also the Director of the Undergrad Endo Program from 1997 to 2002. He currently has a full time practice in London ON restricting his practice to Endodontics, and is a major part-time Adjunct Professor at Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at UWO, where he directs the Endodontic lab course as well as acts as clinical instructor. Dr. Friedman has given numerous courses on Endodontics since joining UWO, with particular interests in rotary instrumentation, endodontic materials, Apex locators, and restoring the endodontically treated tooth.
Education Objectives:
The attendees will learn how to make a choice as to the system that will enhance clinical predictability when a post and core is necessary for added retention.
Topics To Be Covered:
- The evolution of the use of posts in dentistry.
- The modern day decision tree — when should posts be used.
- The evolution of fibre post technology and systems.
- Fibre posts — they are not all the same!
- The selection of the appropriate post.
- The secret to clinical success — the necessary adjunctive aids to treat the canal properly and the technique to minimize air bubbles and achieve maximum bond strength of the post and core.
- Do you need to use a post cement and then a core material or can you do it all at once?
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING THE PROGRAM:
- Systems of posts and the proper technique for etching, bonding, and cementing fibre posts will be presented that will enhance retention, decrease root fracture, and allow for retrievability if needed.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Dentists who wish to have an opportunity to learn more about posts and have a hands-on opportunity to place a fibre post.
