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
