Root to Crown Part 2: Restorative Considerations for Endodontically Treated Teeth - Hands On

About this Seminar

The second day of the Root to Crown the program focuses on the restorative considerations for endodontically treated teeth. The first part of this program will revolve around the placement of direct restorations. This will include clinical discussion around adhesives and composite placement. There will be an overview of the various matrix systems including an in-depth discussion on sectional matrix, specifically, strategies around ideal placement in different clinical situations will be covered. This will include a hands-on component to practice doing a class II restoration using the techniques discussed. Please bring your own loups and headlamp.  In addition, there will be a review of the use of bulk-fill composites compared to traditional incremental layered techniques. The latter half of this program will revolve around indirect options including full coverage crowns and full coverage onlays. An overview of the material options will be discussed including zirconia and lithium disilicate. A common oversight by many dentists is the handling of these materials prior to cementing/bonding, and this will be discussed at length so dentists can maximize the clinical potential of the respective materials. Lastly, there will be a detailed review of the different cementing and bonding materials available, and the specific techniques involved to get a successful clinical outcome.
