Annapolis, Maryland

Dr. Berman received his dental degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and his Certificate in Endodontics from The Albert Einstein Medical Center. He is a clinical associate professor of endodontics at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and a clinical instructor and guest lecturer at the Albert Einstein Medical Center. He has lectured internationally in the field of endodontics and has published in several different peer-reviewed dental journals.

Dr. Berman is the past president of the Maryland State Association of Endodontics and is a member of the Journal of Endodontics Scientific Advisory Board. He is a contributing author and co-editor of the most widely used endodontic textbook, Cohen's Pathways of the Pulp. He is also the senior editor and contributing author of the comprehensive textbook, Dental Traumatology. A board certified endodontist and fellow of the American College of Dentistry, Dr. Berman has been in full-time private practice in Annapolis, Maryland for the past thirty years.

Dr. Berman is also an avid boater who has competitively raced in local and regional competitions, racing J-30s around the Chesapeake Bay. Enhancing his skills as a lecturer, he is a self-taught expert in PhotoShop and video editing (he calls it “therapy”). As another past-time, it might not be unusual to find him at a local karaoke bar. Philanthropy is another passion of Dr. Berman. He was the director of his local hospital's Foundation Board for ten years, the last of which he served as Chairman of the Board. Though his fundraising efforts, the board raised enough funds to facilitate the move of his community's historic downtown hospital (where he and his dad were born!) to a new state of the art hospital center.

Failing Before Starting: When NOT to do Endodontic Treatment

Location: Online

It’s a fact: perfect endodontic treatment can sometimes be unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the lack of healing can often be attributed to an inadequate preliminary diagnosis or an improper prognosis assessment. Dr. Berman will systematically review the many variables that should be taken into consideration before the bur ever hits the tooth, including endodontic case assessment, periodontal concerns, tooth restorability, and the detection and prediction of the presence of root fractures. After this presentation, you will never look at pending endodontic treatment the same way again.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the variables that exist prior to endodontic treatment which may contribute to non-healing.
• Understand the variables that may be present, which may decrease the prognosis for a tooth requiring endodontic treatment.
• Discuss the reasons for the lack of endodontic healing based on an improper prognosis assessment.
• Describe the subjective and objective findings of root fractures as they may relate to the tooth and associated periodontal structures.
