THEORETICAL PART

• Diagnosis in Endodontics

• The importance of using the microscope and magnification systems

• The role of pre-endodontic restoration and management of the deep cervical margin

• Access cavity: instruments and techniques

• Canal scouting

• Proper use of apex locators and modern endodontic motors

• Manual and mechanical preflaring

• Shaping the root canal with rotary and reciprocating instruments

• Apical finishing

• Management of complex anatomies, canal confl uences, C-shaped and accessory canals

Hands-on exercises

THEORETICAL PART

• Irrigation: basic principles for effective root canal disinfection

• Enhancing protocols for canal debridement and disinfection

• Retreatment:

  • Prognostic factors in endodontics

  • Coronal disassembly

  • Identification and treatment of missed canals

  • Removal of filling materials and overcoming ledges

  • Warm techniques and cold bioceramics

Hands-on exercises

THEORETICAL PART

• Causes of fracture in endodontically treated teeth

• Criteria for selecting the appropriate approach for endodontically treated teeth

• Assessment of the restorability of dental elements

• Guidelines for using fiber posts in the restoration of endodontically treated teeth

• Whitening of non-vital teeth

• Direct restoration of endodontically treated teeth in posterior areas

• Direct restoration of endodontically treated teeth in anterior areas

• Different therapeutic options:

  • Aesthetic adhesive restorations (direct and indirect)

  • Prosthetic restorations

PRACTICAL PART

Live demonstration by the speaker on a simulator using extracted teeth, with closed-circuit video recording:
Case 1 – Direct conservative restoration of an endodontically treated tooth (posterior or anterior): removal of temporary filling, selection of structures to preserve and prepare, cavity refinement, adhesive treatment, chamber build-up, cementation of fiber-reinforced posts based on structural needs, direct restoration and final finishing.

Participants will then carry out, under the supervision of the instructor and with real-time feedback, each phase of one of the following restorative options using properly devitalized, thoroughly cleaned extracted teeth stored in physiological solution:

• Direct restoration of an endodontically treated posterior tooth

• Direct restoration of an endodontically treated anterior tooth

• Direct core build-up under existing bridges using adhesive techniques

Note: Each participant must cement at least one fiber post, regardless of the chosen restorative option.
