Joseph A. Bruckner, DDS

Dr. Joseph A. Bruckner received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Yeshiva University, where he graduated cum laude. He then graduated from the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine where he received the Quintessence Award for excellence in academics and research achievements. Dr. Bruckner earned his endodontic specialty certificate working with some of the most highly-regarded practitioners in the field at Stony Brook as well. Thirteen years ago, upon completion of his endodontic specialty program, Dr. Bruckner opened a private practice limited to Endodontics in Roslyn, NY. His practice focuses on Modern Micro-Endodontics and incorporates the latest techniques in diagnostics and endodontic treatment.

“Micro-Endodontic Challenges of 2023”

This lecture will discuss the significant advancements of modern day endodontics. Several challenging endodontic case scenarios are extremely difficult to manage even while using the microscope and CBCT guidance and are practically untreatable without it. These scenarios include but are not limited to: difficult tooth morphology, successful treatment of calcified and previously untreated canals, separated instrument removal, silver point retrieval, implant screw removal, and surgical endodontic treatment. In addition, we will discuss the evolution of modern day endodontic theory and techniques. Cases will be presented by use of digital radiographs, still images, as well as short video clips. Citation and discussion of classical as well as current literature will be included throughout.
