Endodontic treatment and restoration of severely decayed primary teeth remains a challenge to pediatric dentists due to difficulties in diagnostics, complex anatomy and behavior management issues. Restoration of endodontically treated primary teeth with severely destroyed clinical crowns is a topic that remains controversial from many perspectives.
This unique presentation will include novel clinical solutions, which can help to improve long term conservative treatment outcomes and minimize complications. Current evidence-based endodontic and restorative treatment modalities in primary teeth will be presented and illustrated in detail, including many clinical techniques that may be employed at different steps to ensure more predictable results.
Aspects such as efficient and comfortable local anesthesia technique, the use of new biocompatible materials for vital pulp therapy, modern rotary file systems, improved irrigation protocol, as well as contemporary root canal obturating materials will all be discussed.
Modern approaches to restorative esthetic solutions in primary teeth will be presented. And finally, innovative methods for restoration of severely destroyed primary anterior will also be demonstrated.
