Restorative dentistry

Module Operative dentistry

• Discuss aspects related to biomechanics and reconstruction of devitalized teeth in relation to the endodontic treatment performed or to be performed;
• discuss restorative problems in devitalized teeth;
• analyze direct and indirect restoration techniques with and without pins;
• relate the type of restoration to the type of endodontic filling;
• understand the reason for the pre-endodontic restoration;
• treat the issue of internal whitening prevention of clinical failures.

At the end, the student will be able to understand the issues discussed and operate the post-endodontic restoration choices independently.

Lectures, clinical case simulation, seminars.

In-depth knowledge of macroscopic dental anatomy. Knowledge of caries and of the main materials and techniques of conservative restoration. Knowledge of dentinal enamel adhesives.
