With Prof. Joseph Sabbagh
After the root canal treatment of a tooth is conducted, dentists still face in their daily practice a very common problem, the decision making in restoring endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Different clinical options can be carried on, from simple composite restoration to an Inlay-Onlay, Overlay or a full crown. On the other hand, is the use of fiber posts still recommended or a metal post and core is more indicated and in which situation? Recently the concept of endocrown has been introduced to dentistry representing an alternative to full crown along with CAD/CAM technology.
The restoration of endo treated teeth has different objectives such as mechanical, esthetic, functional, and biological. The choice of the restoration and the material are made according to different criteria.
Through several clinical cases using the most recent materials and literature review, this presentation will answer all the questions related to the restoration of ETT and a step by step clinical procedure will be defined in order to achieve successful long term restorations.
Guided by Prof. Joseph Sabbagh, attendees will have the opportunity to capitalize on the knowledge acquired through clinical simulations.
Every participant will prepare an Inlay, and an Endocrown on a plastic molar. Then they will perform a composite Onlay and lute it on the prepared tooth using resin based cements.
By the end of this practical day, participants will be able to:
Achieve adequate Inlay Onlay and endocrown preparation
Achieve a composite overlay
Master the different luting steps of indirect posterior restorations
Polish and finish properly the restoration using the most adequate tools
Course hours: 9:00 to 17:00
Language: English
Riziv accreditation requested.
Prof. Joseph Sabbagh obtained his PhD in Biomaterials from the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL), Belgium, in 2004, after earning a Master’s degree in Operative Dentistry (Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics) in 2000. He also completed two Certificates of Advanced Studies in Biomaterials and Operative Dentistry from Paris-VII University, France, in 1997 and 1998. In 2020, he was awarded his HDR (Habilitation à Diriger la Recherche) from the Lebanese University in Beirut.
Prof. Sabbagh is currently a Professor at the Lebanese University, where he has served as the former Head of the Department and Director of the Master's Program in Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics. He also oversees multiple research projects. His clinical practice is focused on aesthetic dentistry and endodontics, with offices in both Brussels and Beirut.
An accomplished scholar, Prof. Sabbagh has published extensively in international, peer-reviewed dental journals and has lectured at conferences both locally and globally. In January 2023, he edited and published the book Bulk Fill Resin Composites in Dentistry with Springer. He is an active member of the Academy of Operative Dentistry (USA), serves on the editorial board of Reality - Journal (USA), and is a member of the International Association of Dental Research. Additionally, he is a Fellow of the International College of Dentists.
