Description:
Single dark teeth can be an indication of other pathology, and treatment options vary whether vital or non-vital. Bleaching a single dark tooth is very cost-effective for a patient compared to other options. This course will also go over the treatment options for non-vital teeth that have received endodontic therapy as well as those that have not. Esthetic evaluations, bonding insights and special tray fabrication designs will be explained.
Learning objectives:
Participants will be able to:
Learn the treatment options for single dark teeth, vital and non-vital
Learn the treatment options for non-vital teeth that have received endodontic therapy and those that have not
Understand the bonding techniques for restoration of endodontic access openings for root color, and tray fabrication techniques for bleaching
