NEW YORK CITY: Attendees now have something more to love about the Greater New York Dental Meeting. The 86th annual event welcomes professionals for five days of endodontic programs, including workshops, seminars, essays and live demonstrations. The Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM) is held each year at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, and this year’s dates are Nov. 26–Dec. 1.

The endodontic program begins on Saturday morning with speakers who discuss research and ideas on pain control, irrigation and the most important developments in the field of endodontics today.

Professionals will learn the fundamentals of safe, predictable, efficient and cost-effective endodontics on Sunday, Nov. 28, with Dr. Barry Musikant. This half-day seminar is scheduled from 9 a.m.–12 p.m.

Continuing on Sunday, Dr. John Olmsted will present a two-part workshop on rotary instrumentation in the morning and resin-bonded obturation in the afternoon. They’re called, “R U Ready for the 2 NU R’s in Endodontics?”

At these hands-on workshops, clinicians will learn comprehensive diagnosis, new concepts with irrigation and continuing improvements with rotary files.

Musikant will present two half-day workshops on Monday, Nov. 29. These hands-on tutorials will introduce endodontic instrumentation and advanced endodontic techniques.

“Educating more than 1,000 professionals at the endodontic seminars and workshops proves that attendees are the key to success,” says Executive Director of the GNYDM Dr. Robert Edwab.

With clinicians visiting from across the United States and around the world to perform actual endodontic surgical procedures in real-time, the Greater New York Dental Meeting delivers a second “live” dentistry arena right on the exhibit floor.

The “live” dental procedures in endodontics will be held on Monday, Nov. 29, Tuesday, Nov. 30 and Wednesday, Dec. 1.

“These programs provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity for professional growth,” explains Dr. John Halikias, general chairman of the Greater New York Dental Meeting. “Clinicians from all over the globe meet face-to-face to teach and learn new techniques within a specialty as well as locate companies with the latest equipment and materials for exportation.”

This year, Drs. Robert Roda and Aviad Tamse, representing the New York State Association of Endodontists, will present half-day seminars exploring endodontic diseases including differential diagnosis of vertical root fractures, extraction, non-surgical re-treatment, peri-radicular surgery and intentional re-plantation. These seminars are scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 1, from 9 a.m.–12 p.m. and 2–5 p.m.

Dr. Alex Fleury’s two half-day endodontic workshops are on Wednesday, Dec. 1. The morning hands-on activities focus on the use of current science to improve the clinicians’ techniques in endodontics with the introduction to new bioceramic technology. The afternoon session focuses on teaching clinicians the full meaning of an endo-restorative continuum.

Workshops, seminars and essays may fill quickly as registration is already open. For more information or to register today for educational courses, see the Greater New York Dental Meeting’s website at www.gnydm.com.
