Details

Description:

The advent of more sophisticated digital and readily retrievable patient treatment documentation has created a profound opportunity to record and measure single operator treatment outcome parameters. This may change currently accepted practice standards with transparency and understanding formerly viewed as unknowable.


Course Outline

In this session Dr. Pannkuk will provide measured unique data taken from 1000 uninterrupted sequential recalled patients from his practice with a minimum recall period of 5 years highlighting numerous complex treatment descriptors with over 600 CBCT recall scans, microphotographs, and radiographs dating his practice period of 30 years with a mean recall term of 12.5 years. He will discuss the strategies for assimilating such a large volume of data and value it has had for endodontic treatment planning in his practice.

Dr. Barnett will discuss the challenges of interpreting retrospectively collected data, statistically analyzing it, and attempting to draw conclusions with high-level science.

Objectives

  1. Collect outcome data from their own private practices.
  2. Describe low-level versus high-level forms of evidence they can and cannot measure.
  3. Discuss the opportunities and limitations of determining complex endodontic treatment options with their patients and providing realistic expectations.
