He has been author and co-author of several peer review international publications, has lectured nationally and internationally on Dental Traumatology, the use of Bioceramic materials on vital pulp therapies, endodontic management of immature teeth, root resorptions and gives international hands-on courses on Traumatic Dental Injuries. He is an ambassador of the dentaltraumaguide.org in Greece and has translated the latest trauma guidelines and the ToothSOS app into Greek language.

Dr. Tzimpoulas is an accredited specialist member of the European Society of Endodontology (ESE), he is in the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Association of Endodontology and Board of Directors of Sports Dentistry Hellas.

Presentation Synopsis

Dental trauma presents a unique challenge to clinicians, not only at the moment of injury but also throughout long-term follow-up. This lecture will address the full spectrum of post-traumatic complications that may arise immediately or years after the initial injury.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore the consequences of trauma affecting the pulp, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and surrounding soft tissues. Key topics include pulp necrosis, pulp canal obliteration, crown discoloration and the different types of root resorption that can develop following severe traumatic injuries. Each complication will be examined in terms of pathogenesis, diagnostic features, and management strategies.

Through a series of clinical cases and videos, supported by the latest evidence-based protocols, attendees will gain practical insights into anticipating, diagnosing, and managing both biological and clinical challenges.

The aim of this lecture is to equip clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to recognize post-traumatic complications early and manage them predictably, ensuring the best possible outcomes before prognosis is compromised.

Presentation Aims

The session aims to:

· Emphasize the importance of recognizing both immediate and delayed consequences of traumatic dental injuries, and their long-term biological impact.

· Present evidence-based strategies and protocols for managing complications such as pulp necrosis, obliteration, and all types root resorptions and bone loss.

· Encourage a structured, systematic approach to follow-up care, stressing the value of early detection and intervention in preserving prognosis.

Highlight the role of multidisciplinary collaboration and treatment planning when trauma-related complications ultimately lead to tooth loss.

Presentation Objectives

The audience will

· Understand the immediate and long-term biological consequences of dental trauma affecting pulp, periodontal and supporting tissues.

· Recognize the clinical and radiographic features of common post-traumatic complications, including pulp necrosis, pulp canal obliteration, and various types of root resorption and alveolar bone loss.

· Apply evidence-based strategies for diagnosis, monitoring, and management of post-traumatic sequelae through clinical cases and examples.

· Develop a systematic approach to anticipate and manage complications predictably, improving long-term prognosis and patient outcomes.

Integrate multidisciplinary approaches for managing tooth loss from trauma-related complications.
