Course Info
Endodontic Microsurgery has greatly evolved and become more predictable than ever before. The lecture will focus on troubleshooting potential complications arising from proximity to the mental foramen and sinuses as well as management of palatal lesions. The surgical intervention of endo/perio lesions will be discussed, explaining when to graft and the various materials being implemented, including the newer technique of spinning out protein-rich fibrin from a patient’s drawn blood and placing it into and covering the osteotomy site. When other options have been exhausted, an extremely successful procedure will be intentional replantation.

Speaker Info
Dr. Sam Kratchman received a B.S. in Biology and D.M.D. at Tufts University in Boston, and his certificate in endodontics from the University of Pennsylvania, where he is an Associate Professor of Endodontics and Assistant Director of Graduate Endodontics, in charge of microsurgery. Dr. Kratchman co-authored the textbook of Endodontic Microsurgery with Dr. Kim published in 2017 and developed a patented instrument called the S Kondenser for obturation of root canals. Both Main Line Today and Doctor of Dentistry magazines honored Dr. Kratchman as the cover story for their “Best of “issues. Dr. Kratchman lectures nationally and internationally as well as maintaining four private practices; in Exton, West Chester, Paoli, and Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania.
