NZSE Symposia 2025 Module 7: Role of occlusion in Endodontics

This webinar examines the critical interplay between occlusion and endodontics, highlighting how occlusal issues can both mimic and contribute to endodontic pain. Often misunderstood or overlooked, occlusal problems can present as toothache or persistent discomfort, leading to misdiagnosis or unnecessary endodontic treatment. The session will cover how excessive or imbalanced occlusal forces can affect pulp health, contribute to post-treatment symptoms, or compromise healing in endodontically treated teeth.

Learning outcomes

1. Recognize how occlusal problems can mimic endodontic symptoms and contribute to diagnostic challenges. 2. Understand the role of occlusion in the development and persistence of endodontic pain. 3. Learn how to assess and manage occlusal factors during and after endodontic treatment. 4. Explore clinical cases where occlusion played a key role in either causing or resolving endodontic-like symptoms.
