Course Title: Restoration of the Endodontically Treated Tooth: It’s Not Dead!
Presenter: Dr. James Kouzoukian
Course Time: 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Course Description:
Endodontically treated teeth pose a unique restorative challenge due to their characteristics which include large areas of missing and excavated tooth structure, presumably due to caries or sizeable pre-existing restoratives, and brittle condition, due to loss of internal blood supply. This seminar will address these factors while emphasizing function and longevity of the resulting restoration for the benefit and satisfaction of the patient.
