Our final step in the DCC endodontic protocol is restoration.โฃ
โฃ
At this point, the canal has been thoroughly prepared, disinfected, obturated, and radiographically verified. Now our focus turns to creating a durable final restoration and seal.โฃ
โฃ
We begin by applying an ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ to the prepared internal and external tooth surfaces, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.โฃ
โฃ
While several restorative systems can be utilized, in the field we favor materials that are effective, predictable, and efficient. We commonly use a ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ-๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ-๐ฏ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ, which is applied and light-cured according to protocol.โฃ
โฃ
We then place either a ๐ณ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ, depending on the tooth and clinical situation. The composite is shaped, finished, and smoothed to restore the tooth and complete treatment.โฃ
โฃ
Finally, we obtain ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ต๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ต๐ to document and verify the completed procedure.โฃ
โฃ
From initial assessment and radiographs, through methodical hand instrumentation and obturation, to the final restoration, every step follows the same philosophy: ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฐ, ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ.โฃ

And with that, our three-part endodontic procedure is complete.โฃ
