Post-Endodontic-Treatment: Should We Place Posts, Do Crowns Or Just Composites And Onlays?

The participants will learn to:

Understand the importance of proper planning and diagnostics when treating with endodontically treated teeth.
Understand the vast improvements in material science and the treatment possibilities with glass fiber posts.
Understand the biomechanics involved when teeth are prepared.
Decide when to make a hybrid stump or place a post.
Understand the importance of the ferrule effect.
Indicate an endocrown and learn how to prepare it.

09:00 - 10:30	Lecture: Biological and scientific background Tooth biomechanics Materials and design for root posts Build-ups, new improvements Preparation design Crowns, Onlays, endo-onlays, Richmond crowns, endo-crowns: Advantages and disadvantages Ferrule effect. Is it a myth or is it really relevant?
