Placement and replacement of dental restorations still constitutes the majority of the workload in general dental practices. Achieving long-term predictable results restoring compromised posterior teeth require a full evaluation of the abutment and a steady progression through an intricate sequence of clinical steps.
This presentation provides the clinician with a systematic approach to the restoration of compromised vital posterior teeth. It provides decision-making guidelines and protocols that will help the clinician in selecting and executing a suitable restoration for each individual circumstance. It also addresses the practical aspects of dental laboratory techniques, including proper handling of the impression, correct preparation and adequate transfer of occlusal information.
The first part of this presentation describes the factors to consider when restoring compromised vital posterior teeth, as well as the modifications to the principles of preparation. The second part centers on the different treatment modalities available.
The presentation will discuss a variety of clinical situations and will outline treatment alternatives, detect possible complications, and evaluate existing data to allow possible treatment outcome assessment. Some of the topics to be covered:
Factors to consider when restoring damaged posterior vital teeth
- Pulpal considerations
- Periodontal conditions
- Removal of caries and previous restorations
