Restoration of the root-filled tooth
Restoration of the root-filled tooth is by many sources more important than the endodontic treatment itself. Tooth with previous damage to its structure, most likely still containing some bacteria, weakened by endodontic treatment mechanically and chemically is a challenging target. Not that long time ago, the only way to preserve such a tooth was cast-post followed by a crown. Along the process of making such a restoration, more tissue was lost – again. Subsequently several new options have been introduced during the past 30 years allowing for more conservative and aesthetic approach to the root-filled teeth. Author describes its 14 year path for adhesive, aesthetic post-endodontic treatment. Along the way, nearly 7000 root-filled teeth have been treated following our protocol.
Philosophically, there are 4 important principles we follow in our daily journey:
Tissue preservation
Replace with similar
Adhesion
Fail-safe
All of the above is exclusively handled by endodontists in our practice.
Theoretical and clinical background, progress explanation, clinical protocol, retrospective statistics and many case reports will be presented.
