Presentation Description/Abstract: Endodontists aim for excellence in root canal treatment, including filling and sealing the root canal system. However, a well-fitted definitive restoration is equally critical for long-term success, ideally without leakage occurring for years. Often endodontists may only place a shallow composite layer into the canal orifices and the pulp floor, with the remainder of the restoration carried out by a general dentist.
Would the long-term success increase if endodontists placed the entire adhesive build-up immediately after completion of the endodontic treatment? Studies have shown that posts are only needed if a build-up lacks enough retention. Also, many novel build-up materials, including light-curing, self-curing, or dual-curing composites, are continuously becoming available.
The lecture will give a detailed protocol on how to build-up of a tooth with light-curing glass-fiber-flow after endodontic treatment supported by clinical cases. The workflow and the composite selection will critically discused referring to the literature.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of strictly adhesive buildups versus incorporating a post.
  • Review the postendo buildup material and the limitations of lightcuring composite after endodontic treatment.
  • Execute a step by step workflow of postendodontic adhesive buildup with light curing composite.
