EVDC Study Days at the EVDF
As part of the EVDF, EVDC provides pre- and post-congress practical and theory training in the form of ‘Study Days’, in addition to contributing to the main scientific programme of the congress. These technique focussed wetlabs are primarily for residents to undergo specific training under supervision and direction of Diplomates, but are open to all vets to attend. The Study Days comprise in-depth training sessions with either a half day or full day committed to practical training in specific techniques and procedures in veterinary dentistry.
Venue and bus transportation
The study days will take place at the Ullern High School (outside the congress venue)
Buses will be foreseen to bring you from Oslo Centre to the study day venue.
Address details and practical information on the bus transport will be provided later on!
EVDC Study Days in Oslo
Thursday 29 May 2025
SMALL ANIMAL PROGRAMME:
Morning study daysTime: 09.00-12.00 hrs
Early registration fee: € 562,50 including 25 % Norwegian VAT, deadline 1 April 2025
Late registration fee: € 650,00 including 25 % Norwegian VAT, after 1 April 2025
The use of axial pattern flaps in the reconstruction of postresective oncological maxillofacial defects
Main tutor: Mihai Guzu
Helping tutor: Andrew Perry
Introduction to resins
Main tutor: Ignacio Velázquez Urgel
Helping tutor: Ana Castejón
Active Orthodontic procedures
Main tutor: Loic Legendre
Helping tutor:
This workshop is designed for students cognizant of the basis of orthodontic movements, that would like to learn more about brackets and buttons with elastic chains, spring loaded appliances as well as universal screws. These techniques are commonly used to correct mesioversed or lance maxillary canine teeth and rostral cross bites.
This presentation will review the list of equipment required to perform those techniques. It will also teach the student how to create the appliances, how to monitor them, how long to leave them in, and how to deal with complications.
At the end of this workshop the student should be able to successfully treat a rostral cross bite, a mesioversed maxillary canine or even a buccoversed mandibular canine.
Basic Endodontics
Main tutor: Maura Lazzaroto
Helping tutor:
This wet lab will look at challenges and solutions for performing root canals in multi-rooted teeth. Basic principles of veterinary endodontics will be reviewed. This hands-on session will build on knowledge and previous experience of clinicians that have learned basic endodontics for canine and incisor teeth. Participants will learn tips and tricks to help locate and shape canals of upper 4th premolars and lower 1st molars in canine cadavers. As well they will learn how to amputate the palatal root of the upper 4th premolar and perform palatal flaps to cover the extraction site. Participants will practice filling multi-rooted canals using gutta flow and master cone technique.
Afternoon study days
Time: 13.00-16.00 hrs
Early registration fee: € 562,50 including 25 % Norwegian VAT, deadline 1 April 2025
Late registration fee: € 650,00 including 25 % Norwegian VAT, after 1 April 2025

Sinus Imaging: Anatomical Interpretation and Comparative Diagnostic Techniques
Main tutor: Knut Nottrott
Helping tutor: Carsten Staszyk
Program and aims of course
This wetlab is intended for EVDC / ECVS residents and advanced practitioners in equine dentistry and surgery. It aims to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the anatomical structures of the equine sinus.
Through a combination of anatomical models, dissection, and a presentation of imaging modalities with emphasis on radiography, sinoscopy and computed tomography (CT). Participants will develop the skills to accurately interpret these diagnostic tools in clinical settings. The course will cover a thorough theoretical and practical review of equine sinus anatomy, through anatomical dissection and practise of sinoscopy.
Learning Outcomes: By the end of this wetlab, participants will:
1. Gain a detailed knowledge of equine sinus anatomy through hands-on dissection and model analysis.
2. Develop the ability to interpret radiographic, CT, MRI, and sinoscopic images in relation to anatomical structures.
3. Understand the clinical relevance of sinus imaging and its application in diagnosing sinus pathologies.
4. Be able to compare anatomical findings with diagnostic images to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
What Participants Will Achieve:
Participants will leave the course with a solid foundation in equine sinus anatomy and advanced imaging interpretation. They will have the confidence to approach complex sinus cases with a structured diagnostic approach, combining anatomical knowledge with modern imaging techniques. This course will enhance their ability to make informed decisions in the diagnosis and management of sinus-related conditions in horses.

Facial fracture fixation wetlab
Main tutor: Denis Verwilghen
Helping tutor: Travis Henry
Program and aims of course
• To provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of fracture fixation techniques in the equine head.
• To develop the practical skills required for the effective application of fixation devices in cases of incisor fractures, mandibular fractures, and facial bone injuries.
• To enhance the ability of participants to evaluate and select the most appropriate fixation method for various types of fractures in the equine head.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the principles and biomechanical considerations of fracture fixation in the equine head.
2. Identify and evaluate different fracture patterns affecting the incisor, mandibular, and facial bones.
3. Demonstrate the correct technique for applying cerclage wires to stabilize incisor and mandibular fractures.
4. Perform the placement of external fixators for mandibular fractures on cadaver specimens.
5. Apply small reconstructive plates to manage fractures of facial bones in horses.
6. Integrate theoretical knowledge with practical skills to develop a treatment plan tailored to individual cases of head trauma in horses.
7. Recognize potential complications associated with fracture fixation in the head and understand strategies for their prevention and management.
