Title: Concept of simultaneous crown-root shielding in Endodontics using CAD-CAM technology
Biography
Biography: Jose Edgar Valdivia
Abstract
The integrated approach of endodontic and restorative procedures of dental elements allow for the reincorporation of the endodontically treated tooth to its function in the stomatognathic system. Scientific literatures understand that a tooth that has been treated endodontically has become weakened due to changes that occur in its structure during this procedure. These teeth undergo modification in its architecture and morphology due to great loss of dental structure due to caries, preparation and cavity extension. This therefore makes the endodontically treated tooth more friable. Thus, simultaneous crown-root shielding seeks to recover the structural resistance of the endodontically treated tooth. This chapter will discuss endo-restorative planning, simultaneous preparation of the canal and post space preparation for intraradicular posts, apical obturation, cementation of posts and final restoration or preparation of the prosthetic crown. Furthermore, we will address factors that have a direct influence on the success of restorative procedures of endodontically treated teeth such as aspects of root dentin, ultrasonic post space preparation with minimum dentin wear, post adaptation to dentin walls, selection and types of current intra-radicular posts and current restorative materials.
