PANEL DISCUSSION DESCRIPTION

The ability to perform endodontic treatment in horses could be considered as one of the most important recent advances in equine dentistry and when properly performed, this technique allows retention of teeth which would otherwise require extraction. Join our world-renowned panel of dentistry specialists as they discuss one of the hottest topics in this field. This panel discussion will cover case selection, required instrumentation and materials and a review of a variety of techniques from relatively straightforward incisor procedures to more complex cheek tooth endodontic procedures. In their review of endodontics in horses, the specialists will also discuss what could be learned by assessing the technique in other species. There will also be discussion of potential complications which may be encountered.  The panel discussion will be fully interactive, with questions and comments from participants most welcome.

Torbjörn Lundström have since almost 44 years been dedicated in animal dentistry. Zoo animals, small animals and his passion equine. Torbjörn continues to run his own clinic there the horses still are his main interest. Endodontics has been one of his special topics. He is as the chairman of NCED on a regular base involved in many international tasks. He is also since around 20 years engaged in the post graduate education in equine dentistry at the Swedish University of Agriculture. 

During duty-off you can often see him driving his own horses.
