“The Restorability LOOK”
Clinicians frequently face the dilemma of when to endodontically treat and retain a questionable tooth or to extract it. Whilst a single identifiable risk factor may be easy to manage clinically, the presence of multiple risk factors appears to jeopardize the survival of a compromised tooth. This presentation will describe evaluating restorability of tooth prior to endodontic treatment.
Attendees will learn:
-
How to assess restorability prior to treatment.
-
How to assess risk.
-
Effective communication with the patient prior to treatment.
