Endo-resto workshop - Restoratively driven solutions for root filled teeth

To provide a clinical overview of the concepts which can be applied to the restoration of root filled teeth, as well as, theoretical and hands-on training on endo-restorative techniques including pre-endodontic build-up, core placement, the use of fibre posts, direct and indirect cuspal coverage solutions.

Aims and objectives: 

The speakers will:

• Provide insight into the fundamental aspects of endo-restorative treatment planning 
• Discuss techniques for pre- and post-endodontic core placement, fibre post placement and cuspal coverage preparation (onlays) 
• Demonstrate predictable techniques for adhesive core placement, fibre post and core
  restoration and tooth preparation for onlays on root filled posterior teeth 
• Discuss the principles of management of complex endo-restorative problems and the
  importance of dentine preservation

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the course, the delegates will be able to:

• Appreciate the importance of integrating endodontic and restorative treatment planning to optimise treatment outcome and survival of the root filled tooth 
• Utilise the benefits of adhesive restorative techniques when placing cores, fibre posts and providing direct and indirect cuspal coverage restorations 
• Understand the challenges of bonding within the root filled tooth and how these issues can be overcome 
• Appraise the complexity and prognosis of endo-restorative cases
