Learning Content
Digital workflows are increasingly used for post-endodontic restorations, but the reliable capture of deep and narrow post spaces remains technically challenging. This session will present a workflow for intraoral scanning of prepared root canals, CAD/CAM-based post fabrication, and comparison with conventional impression and fabrication techniques. Particular attention will be given to internal f
Aims
To demonstrate how digital and conventional workflows can be combined safely for post-endodontic restorations, and to discuss whether intraoral scanning of prepared root canals can provide clinically acceptable post fit under controlled conditions.
