Regenerative Endodontics and Vital Pulp Treatments has emerged as attractive biologically based procedures aiming at preservation of pulp vitality and ultimately tooth survival. The assessment of whether such treatments achieve their goals is often described as a clinical endpoint outcome of success or failure. However, consensus on what is considered success or failure of these emerging treatments is lacking. This talk will provide an overview of an international consensus process for establishing a standardized, agreed set of outcomes for VPT and revitalization procedures, highlighting what outcomes are considered critically important for patients and clinicians, how these outcomes are measured and the optimal time for their measurement. The importance of this core outcome set for evidence based clinical decision making and optimal patient care will be emphasized.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the concept of core outcomes and how a core outcome set is developed.
  • Incorporate patients focused outcomes in the process of informed consent and treatment decision making.
  • Apply an evidence based approach on how and when outcomes are measured.
