Synopsis:
Anterior and posterior crowns are predictable restorations when there is adequate prep height for resistance and retention. However, there are times axial wall height may be limited for a variety of different reasons and “out of the box” thinking about prep design may be necessary. How can we improve the resistance and retention of crowns by modifying the tooth? Can we improve our restorative prognosis by selecting the appropriate biomaterial and cement for the case? Do we always need to replace an existing foundation restoration if it’s present? This course examines tips and trick to increase resistance and retention when short clinical crown preps are apparent. Recommendations for using or not using posts, proper biomaterial and cement selection are discussed as well as other clinical recommendations you can use in your practice to improve outcomes in your natural tooth crown and bridge cases. For a limited time, this CE course can be viewed at no charge due to the sponsorship of Itena.
