Same Appointment Pre-Endodontic Dentin Sealing and Coronal Reconstruction Technique for Indirect Restorations: A Proof of Concept.

Abstract

Teeth requiring endodontic treatment often present with loss of dental tissue due to caries and/or trauma. This loss compromises their strength and can lead to tooth fractures. The longer these teeth remain exposed and unprotected in the oral cavity, the greater the risk of contamination. Therefore, coronal reconstruction of structurally compromised teeth should be considered to reduce the risk of failure and ensure adequate endodontic intervention in cases of pulpal and/or periapical disease. This article presents a novel technique in which coronal reconstruction was performed prior to endodontic treatment in conjunction with immediate endodontic sealing (IES), allowing indirect restoration to be bonded to this reconstruction.
