Abstract Modulo 4
Endodonzia e Traumatologia
Curriculum
Dr. Francesc Abella graduated in 2005 in dentistry at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (Barcelona), Spain. From 2005 to 2014 he completed his Master Degree and PhD doctoral Degree in Endodontic at Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain. Currently, he is Professor and the Director of the European Master’s Degree in Endodontics (program accredited by the European Society of Endodontology).
Dr. Abella has given several lectures, courses and hands-on courses worldwide and he also works in a private practice limited to endodontics and restorative dentistry in Barcelona. In clinical endodontics his areas of special interest include cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in Endodontics, microcomputed tomography, dental anatomy, dental traumatology, periapical pathology, adhesive restorations, restoration of root-canal-treated teeth, and autotransplantation and replantation techniques.
Beside his work in private practice he is lecturing on Endodontics throughout Spain and other countries, is actually involved in endodontic research projects in the post-graduate endodontic program of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain. He is author of several papers in peer-reviewed journals. Part of the expert committee convened by the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) on the use of CBCT and surgical extrusion, tooth autotransplantation and intentional replantation. Dr. Abella is also an active member of the Spanish Association of Endodontics (AEDE) and currently secretary of the Spanish Society of Conservative and Aesthetic Dentistry (SEOC).
