Compromised but not Hopeless: Endodontic and Restorative
Management of the Tooth from Crown to Apex
When is a compromised tooth worth saving — and how do we make that decision confidently? This comprehensive, evidence-based course explores the clinical and biological complexities of managing structurally challenged teeth. Designed for general practitioners at all levels, the program offers a systematic approach to diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution-integrating both endodontic and restorative principles to ensure long-term success.
Participants will deepen their understanding of how to assess tooth restorability, address endodontic challenges, and deliver predictable restorative outcomes. The course emphasizes practical, real-world application and includes a hands-on component where attendees will gain experience in biomechanical preparation using a reciprocating NiTi file system and obturation techniques.
Key Topics Covered:
- Endodontic decision-making in structurally compromised teeth
- Practical techniques in canal shaping, cleaning, and obturation
- Restoration of endodontically treated teeth for function and aesthetics
Attendees will need to bring their own:
- Extracted tooth/teeth with access prep (otherwise you will be practicing on plastic blocks)
- Loupes
