AI CAD/CAM Digital & Aesthetics Dental ConfEx I 40th Edition

Abstract

The restoration of the endodontically treated tooth requires a careful balance between preserving remaining tooth structure and achieving long-term function and predictability. This lecture will explore contemporary approaches to restoring structurally compromised teeth, ranging from direct adhesive restorations to indirect solutions, with emphasis on clinical decision-making, indications, and limitations. Digitally guided workflows will also be explored, highlighting their potential to support more conservative, efficient, and predictable restorative treatment.
