Course Description: The success or failure of endodontically treated teeth often depends on the quality of the restoration and anatomically driven endodontic treatment. This innovative means of completing the root canal using bioceramic material is easier, faster, safer, and more predictable than traditional methods. Following the root canal, learn the necessary adjunctive aids to treat the canal properly and the technique to minimize air bubbles and achieve maximum bond strength.

Learning Objective:

  • Discuss bioceramic sealer based obturation techniques for more conservatively shaped canals
  • Advantages of a simple sealer based obturation technique (AKA Single cone), and irrigation methods to facilitate this technique
  • Bioceramic sealers, are they here to stay?
  • Video demo of how to do a same appointment post preparation in a canal obturated with bioceramic sealer
  • Review of a predictable step by step technique for placing a fiber post in the canal for maximum success and retention
  • The “bottom up” approach to preparing the post space and delivering the luting material
  • Using the right “tools” and materials to achieve a predictable step by step post placement protocol

Benefits Of Attending:

  • Learn Fiber Post Systems and the proper technique for etching, bonding, and cementing fibre posts
  • Learn the properties of biocermic root canal sealers, and the proper technique for obturating using a single cone

The Speaker: Brian Bevan. Brian has been an endodontic product and continuing education consultant for over thirty years. He has organized many continuing education events and has been involved in introducing several well known endodontic products to the Canadian market. He speaks to General Dentists and Endodontists on a daily basis about everyday challenges of root canal therapy and the latest technology.

Synopsis: Direct composites are underappreciated in today’s world of implants and computer-assisted ceramics. Yet, composites can sometimes be less invasive and more natural. Esthetic treatments, including diastema closure, black triangle closure, Class II, III and IV composite restorations are just the start of what can be done with the Bioclear Technique. In this Introductory course, Clinicians will learn the benefits of injection molding utilizing the Bioclear matrix systems, the core principles and pillars of the Bioclear method including biofilm removal, matrix selection, heated composite, an infinity margin prep design and the rock start polish. Clinicians will also be able to participate in a hands-on learning exercise which will help demonstrate how these practices can be implemented into everyday clinical life.

The Clinician:

Dr. Rafael Bustamante, DDS, graduated from the University of Lethbridge in 2000 with a degree in Biochemistry and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Alberta in 2004. He adopted the use of the dental operating microscope in early 2005. He is certified in all levels, has completed the Master Track Accreditation and is on the Faculty at the Bioclear Learning Center. In a joint venture with CRD, he has supported the formation of the first Bioclear Study Club in Canada. He has participated in many virtual and live courses to clinicians from all over the continent introducing and teaching the Bioclear Method to them.
He thrives on the quest for exactness in restorative dentistry and he feels most fulfilled when restoring teeth using the Bioclear Method or when performing either surgical or non-surgical endodontics. When he is not obsessing over tenths of a millimeter under the microscope, he is volunteering in the community, grilling anything over a roaring fire, reading a non-fiction book or enjoying a quiet evening with his wife and children.

Topic: “Digital Workflow for Fabrication – Milling and Printing”

This lecture is sponsored by Patterson Dental. Win door prize at the event!

Speaker: Dr. Tom Roozendaal

NEW VENUE: Arbutus Club, 2001 Nanton Ave, Vancouver, BC

Time: 6:00 p.m. (registration) 6:30 p.m. (dinner) 7:30 p.m. (lecture)
Fee: Free (Members) $150 (Non-Members)

Synopsis: Dr. Tom Roozendaal integrated in house CAD/CAM into his practice in 2006. This was used strictly for tooth borne prosthetics for several years. Due to his focus on implantology, he added a CBTC to his office in With recent advancements, the combination of these two pieces of technology, has allowed the dawn of complete chairside implant planning, placement and restoration. Dentists now have the power to prosthetically drive implant placement with digital scanning, surgical guide fabrication, temporary crowns or customized healing abutments and final restorations all in office, if desired and without the need for an external laboratory. This paradigm leads the way to comprehensive planning, increasing predictability in surgical placement, developing stable ideal emergence profiles, decreasing surgical appointments and increasing overall efficiencies. The results are enhanced esthetics, decreased chair time, better implant hygiene and satisfied patients.

Learning Points:

  • An overview of digital scanning and available materials for milled restorations
  • Individual steps of the process of chairside implant treatment planning, surgery, healing and the final restoration
  • Clinical examples of each step from patients in his general dental practice
  • How the combination of a digital surface scan, when integrated with a CBCT image can lead to increased predictability, confidence and best results when placing and restoring implants
  • Address many of the complications with implant restorations start with less-than-ideal surgical placement. Attendees will see how this workflow can alleviate many of these challenges and lead to improved patient care

The Clinician: Dr. Tom Roozendaal is a General Dentist who practices on Vancouver Island in the Cowichan Valley. He graduated from UBC in 2001 and is an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He sat on the Research Submission Committee of the Academy of Osseointegration for 8 years and currently sits on the Clinical Innovations Committee of that same organization. Dr. Roozendaal is proud to be a General Dentist and is excited about the rapidly expanding realm of digital dentistry which can be integrated into any forward thinking practice. The complete digital workflow for implant planning, placement and restoration is a flagship procedure that Dr. Roozendaal is excited to present from the position of a surgical and restorative dentist.

Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Time: 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Fee: Free (Limited to CCDSBC Members only)

Synopsis: Having a correct diagnosis is of utmost importance in the practice of dentistry. One can argue that this is even more so the case in Endodontics as failure to properly diagnose will result in the delay of treatment, leading to inadequate resolution of pain and infection. During this pandemic, there are anecdotal reports that patients are experiencing more cracked or fractured teeth. Longitudinal fracture, a term that encompasses both cracked and fractured teeth, is a potentially vexing problem that is challenging to diagnose and manage. In this case-based lecture, Dr. Lin will review the current endodontic diagnostic terminology and discuss the assessment and management of longitudinal fractures. 

After the lecture, the participants should:

  • Know the current endodontic diagnostic terminology describing the pulpal and periapical status
  • Be able to differentiate clinical and radiographic findings that mimic, but are not related to, endodontic pathoses
  • Methods of recreational consumption
  • Understand the classification describing the various types of longitudinal fractures
  • Gain insight in the assessment, management and determination of prognosis associated with different types of longitudinal fractures
