22-23 May 2026 CPT

This module explores the critical yet often underutilised connection between orthodontics and endodontics in comprehensive restorative care. Through a practical, case-based approach, participants will gain insights into how proper tooth positioning enhances function and aesthetics, while endodontic treatment helps preserve the natural dentition and ensure long-term success.

With a focus on interdisciplinary decision-making, this module empowers clinicians to recognise when to intervene, when to refer, and how to integrate orthodontic and endodontic principles into a seamless, digital workflow. By bridging these disciplines, participants will enhance their ability to plan and execute more effective, stable restorative outcomes.

Orthodontics with Aligners: A vital part of restorative dentistry

  • Introduction to aligner therapy
  • Aligner Therapy in Restorative Dentistry – Using clear aligners to improve tooth positioning for optimal restorative outcomes
  • Case Selection for Aligners – Identifying when pre-restorative orthodontics can simplify or enhance treatment
  • Digital Smile Design & Aligner Integration – Planning aligner movements with restorative endpoints in mind
  • Interdisciplinary Sequencing – Coordinating aligner treatment with restorative phases to maximise efficiency and outcomes
  • Managing Patient Expectations – Communicating aligner timelines and goals within the context of comprehensive care

Endodontics: Preserving the Foundation of Restorative Dentistry

  • The Role of Endodontics in Comprehensive Care – Supporting long-term tooth preservation
  • Minimally invasive endodontics and the importance of pericervical dentine preservation.
  • A proper irrigation protocol as part of successful long-term endodontic outcomes.
  • Different preparation and obturation techniques, demonstrated as part of a practical hands-on component.

Ideal for clinicians looking to elevate their restorative results through strategic aligner therapy and endodontic collaboration.
