The scientific evidence indicates that an inadequate coronal restoration may be the primary reason why endodontically treated teeth fail. The current state of treatment procedures performed in private practice will be reviewed with recommendations made for workflow modifications essential for improving restorative outcomes of endodontically treated teeth. Step-by-step protocols for core and post placement and essential tooth preparation techniques will be visualized with HD video obtained with a dental microscope. New workflows will be presented integrating endodontic therapy with chairside scanning and milling for greater efficiency and profitability.

The rapid rise of digital technologies and ability to fabricate CAD-CAM crowns is transforming dentistry. Procedures and techniques for esthetic and functional success with high strength ceramics will be demonstrated with the Dental Microscope HD Video. This course will help you understand how the digital workflow affects precision marginal fit and why recurrent caries develops at the crown-tooth interface. Learn to build up strength with the core build-up, select proper ceramic material and prep design based on occlusion, parafunction, and diet, and review diamond selection for crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers.

Technique errors, incorrect material selection and poor patient compliance will expedite failure of posterior composite restorations. A step-by-step demonstration of an efficient workflow under HD microscope video will be presented. Understand how to utilize simplified and innovative clinical protocols, achieve precise margins and contacts, reduce sensitivity, increase profitability with efficient techniques, and help patients understand their role in the survival of their restorations.

Note: This course is a prerequisite course Fr5045.

Technique errors, incorrect material selection and poor patient compliance will expedite failure of posterior composite restorations. This workshop provides the materials including a diamond preparation kit and takes participants through a step-by-step workflow to utilize simplified and innovative clinical protocols from preparation to finishing.

Note: Course Fr6052 is a prerequisite for this course. Attendees need to bring their own loupes to this course.
