Abstract: Let M be a compact, orientable, irreducible, atoroidal 3-manifold with boundary an incompressible torus. Techniques based on the characteristic submanifold theory are used to bound the intersection number of two slopes alpha and �eta on the boundary of M. The method applies when �eta is the boundary slope of an essential surface F that is not a semi-fiber (i.e. F is not a fiber and does not split M into two twisted I-bundles), and the Dehn filling M(alpha) contains a suitable singular surface. One of the main results is that if F is planar and if the fundamental group of M(alpha) does not contain a non-abelian free subgroup then the intersection number of alpha and �eta is at most 5.
