DUET Dr. Simone Grandini - Dr. Marco Martignoni
Simplified endo-restorative procedures in the digital era
Presentation Overview
In contemporary dentistry, successful endodontic treatment no longer represents an isolated clinical procedure, but an integrated workflow in which diagnosis, instrumentation, and coronal restoration must function seamlessly together. This lecture presents a structured, digitally assisted approach that guides clinicians from initial assessment to predictable long-term rehabilitation.
Delivered as a collaborative DUET, the session highlights both the biological and restorative perspectives of modern endodontics, emphasizing efficiency, safety, and reproducibility in daily clinical practice.
We will walk together through the complete workflow, focusing on:
Essential Clinical Stages – The Endodontic Phase:
• Accurate diagnosis supported by digital tools and radiographic assessment
• Case selection and risk evaluation
• Clinical advantages of reciprocation file systems: efficiency, safety, and control
• Maintaining biological principles during canal preparation
• Reducing procedural errors and improving predictability
• Case-based demonstrations illustrating simplified and reproducible instrumentation protocols
Restorative Phase – Ensuring Long-Term Success:
• The importance of the coronal seal in endodontic prognosis
• Digital planning for structurally compromised teeth
• Decision-making protocols for direct versus indirect restorations
• Integration of digital tools in treatment planning and execution
• Achieving functional stability and long-term biomechanical success
Integrated Workflow and Clinical Standardization:
The presentation will emphasize how a standardized, digitally supported protocol leads to:
• Improved treatment efficiency
• Reduced chair time and procedural risk
• Enhanced interdisciplinary communication
• Greater predictability from diagnosis to final restoration
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to connect endodontic therapy with restorative planning within a cohesive, modern workflow—ensuring both biological integrity and durable clinical outcomes.
