Description: Root canal treated teeth (RCTT) represent a challenge for the dentists. Besides the difficulty concerning complex root canal anatomy and endo treatment by itself, dentist need to consider many other aspects for tooth good long term outcome.
The first of the most important aspects is a structural risk which can be especially important in case of tooth subgingival deficiencies. The second one is functional risk that needs to be estimated in each individual case. Depending on: the structural deficiency, the type of the tooth (anterior, premolar or molar) and the functional risk, it is important to choose the suitable restoration. For many years the prosthetic crown represented the most chosen option. At the beginning of XXI century, more conservative methods, like onlays or veneers, became more and more popular. Today, however, dentists received the new generation materials and through continuous training they can shape their skills adequately, in order to perform direct composite restorations even in case of RCTT. During the lecture the practical aspects of RCCT restorations will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- List the esthetic problems connected to Endodontically Treated Teeth (ETT) and when the internal bleaching should be performed before the final restoration
- Explain the structural and functional problems connected to ETT
- List the indications for direct vs indirect restorations in case of ETT
Maciej Zarow, D.D.S, Ph.D.
He received his dental degree from the Faculty of Dentistry at Semmelweis University, Budapest (Hungary). Upon his graduation, Maciej pursued a Doctor of Medical Sciences title. Maciej has been a long-time researcher and lecturer, working with dental students at the Department of Propedeutics of Conservative Dentistry of CMUJ, Krakow. During the IADR scholarship, he conducted research work on adhesive bridges as well as the restoration of endodontically treated teeth at the universities of Leeds and Manchester. He was a visiting professor at the University of Chieti (Italy) and the UIC University (Barcelona). He is a graduate and mentor of the prestigious Kois Center in Seattle. In 1999 Maciej established his private practice in Krakow. Clinical practice: Maciej is an experienced clinician working with an extensive spectrum of practical approaches to dental treatment. He is keen on promoting and implementing new restorative techniques in his everyday practice. He furthermore favors initiating modern interdisciplinary procedures that harmonize aesthetics with function and minimize interference with the natural mechanisms of functioning of the whole stomatognathic system. Maciej successfully carries out this philosophy in his private dental practice in Krakow, as well as in his well-known and Postgraduate Courses Center. Professional activities: Maciej takes pride as Editor-in-chief of the "Quintessence" (in polish). His book "EndoProsthodontics" has been a success and is now published in English, Chinese, Croatian, French, and Russian. He has authored more than 80 scientific papers in both national and international journals. Maciej is also an active member of “Style Italiano”, as well as the Polish Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. In 2019 he joined the board of the European Society of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Description: Vital pulp therapy including pulpotomy is increasingly adopted in the management of various pulp exposures in children and adults, by virtue of the improved understanding of pulp histopathology and its response to the carious insult. The advent of MTA and other hydraulic calcium silicate based-materials has considerably improved the success rates over medium and long-term follow-up and therefore renewed the interest in vital pulp therapy. This presentation will review the available data on the clinical and histological diagnosis of various pulp exposures with a broad spectrum of symptomatology and will discuss the recent evidence in support of vital pulp therapy in mature permanent teeth and clinical symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis. Patients’, clinicians ‘, and scientists' centered outcomes including clinical and radiographic success, survival, pain management, patient satisfaction, quality of life improvement, and cost-effectiveness will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe management strategies for carious pulp exposures in children and adults based on currently available guidelines
- Define treatment consideration and case selection criteria for vital pulp therapy procedures based on possible prognostic factors
- Review the available evidence on clinicians' and patients' centred outcomes of vital pulp therapy procedures in teeth with carious pulp exposure

Description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of previous root canal treatment on dentinal tubule penetration of calcium silicate–based sealers during endodontic retreatment and to compare 2 different (commonly used and modified) tubule penetration depth measurement techniques.
At the conclusion of this lecture, the reader will be able to:
- Estimate dentinal tubule penetration depth of the root canal sealers by identifying different colored dyes under confocal laser scanning microscopy
- Select the most appropriate dentinal tubule penetration depth measurement technique for her/his study by comparing the previously tested methods and can judge the techniques used for this purpose
- Predict the dentinal tubule performance of different sealers during the secondary root canal treatment and can estimate the effect of primary root canal treatment on the dentinal tubule penetration performance of the sealer used during secondary root canal treatment

Description: From vital pulp therapy to apical microsurgery, bioceramics are used in everyday endodontic practice. Bioactivity, hydrophilicity, and ease of manipulation are some of the favorable characteristics that have made these materials worthwhile. But do bioceramics perform equally as well for obturation? Questions concerning the use of a single cone technique, ability to retreat, and the influence of our current irrigation protocols on bioceramic sealer will be examined. We will explore the latest evidence-based biological response and initial outcomes of these materials to consider bioceramic obturation as the new technique of choice.
- Describe the properties of bioceramics that make them ideal for obturation.
- Discuss current clinical techniques and recommendations to utilizes these materials effectively.
- List the advantages and limitations of bioceramic obturation materials.

Course Description:The goal of regenerative endodontic therapy is to restore the functional integrity of the pulp-dentin complex by applying a combination of biomaterial scaffolds, cells, and biological molecules. As one of the key components in tissue engineering, biomaterial scaffolds provide the structural framework for the regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex. New biological scaffolds functionalized with biological cues such as growth factors and dentin matrix molecules have been designed and investigated to direct a myriad of cellular activities toward pulp regeneration. This lecture will systematically review the properties and biological performance of biomaterial scaffolds utilized in clinical trials and animal studies. Additionally, the histological outcomes of regenerative endodontic treatment in animal models using different scaffolds will be presented based on the findings from the author’s laboratory. The potential application of biological scaffolds for clinical regenerative endodontic therapy will also be discussed for practitioners.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Describe the significance of regenerating the pulp-dentin complex.
- Describe the characteristics and biological performance of biomaterial scaffolds for pulp regeneration.
- Discuss the potential application of biological scaffolds for clinical regenerative endodontic treatment.

This presentation reviews the current research regarding biocompatibility of calcium silicate-based materials and also to describe our results with these materials in different clinical applications.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Describe the biological effects of calcium silicate-based materials on dental stem cells in terms of proliferation, cell viability, differentiation and mineral tissue formation.
- Recognize the clinical use of calcium silicate-based materials in endodontics and their limitations.
- Discuss the results of different clinical cases in which these materials have been used.
