Attention! 100 € – the cost of the registration fee. The full cost of the module is 794 €.

1. Objectives of endodontic preparation for prosthodontic treatment .

2. Endodontic treatment planning based on the prosthetic design (clinical and radiologic evaluations).

3. Preventive endodontics: indications and contraindications (rate of caries progression, risks of pulp necrosis, and the pulp stress syndrome).

4. Factors influencing structural integrity of teeth throughout the treatment process.

5. The biomechanics involved in root canal preparation and vertical root fractures.

6. The impact of coronal seal on the prognosis of endodontic and prosthodontic treatment.

7. Decision-making algorithm for retreatment.

8. Decision-making algorithm for timing and tooth restoration following endodontic treatment.

9. Post and core

- The mythology of root reinforcement of endodontically treated teeth

- The function of post and core

- The true anatomy of root canals

- Preparing the canal for prosthetic restoration: Which, When, and How?!

- Analysis of the available post and core systems: stainless steel, zirconia, titanium, fiber posts. 

10. Composite materials and adhesive bonding for tooth restoration after endodontic treatment

- Challenges related to composite materials and bonding

- The concept of C-factor

- Variations in dentin structure based on location and age

- The effect of cyclic loading. 

11. Cuspal coverage and protection: outdated or still valid?

- Crowns, onlays, overlays, amalgam crown, or alternative restorative options?

12. The ferrule effect in tooth restoration: definition and clinical guidelines

- Surgical crown lengthening , orthodontic extrusion, or extraction. 

13. What prosthodontists should know about modern endodontics

- Cysts, granulomas, or ""what are they?""

- Vertical root fracture

- Cracked tooth syndrome

- Endo-perio lesions

- Internal invasive resorption

- Apical surgery: modern techniques, possibilities, and biological rationale
