Connecting the Dots from Diagnosis to Definitive Reconstruction

Maritime Conference Center
Building 3 | Classroom 2
692 Maritime Blvd| Linthicum Heights

Lunch is provided

Course Description

Every restoration begins long before a handpiece touches the tooth. The Restorative Continuum™ Framework connects the biologic, adhesive, biomechanical, and restorative decisions that shape treatment—from diagnosis through definitive restoration and long-term maintenance. Grounded in contemporary scientific evidence and peer-reviewed research, this full-day seminar gives participants standardized clinical pathways for simplifying treatment planning, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, and improving restorative predictability.

​

Participants will explore evidence-based principles for direct posterior composite restorations through the Atlas-Sadr Composite Workflow System™, including preparation design, adhesive selection, matrix management, composite placement, polymerization stress management, finishing, polishing, and occlusal refinement. The PRENDO™ Clinical Pathway examines restoration-driven endodontics, with particular emphasis on preserving the bonding substrate, protecting tooth structure before and after endodontic treatment, sequencing care, and creating a strong adhesive foundation for the definitive restoration.

​

For structurally compromised and endodontically treated teeth, the ATLAST™ Reconstruction Pathway addresses assessment of remaining tooth structure, ferrule development, biomechanical risk, fiber post selection and placement, core build-ups, precision preparation, conventional and digital workflows, restorative material selection, adhesive cementation, and long-term maintenance. Through clinical cases, microscope videos, and digital workflows, participants will learn practical, evidence-based strategies they can immediately apply to preserve tooth structure, improve efficiency, and achieve more predictable long-term outcomes.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

​

  • Apply The Restorative Continuum™ Framework to diagnosis, treatment planning, restorative decision-making, and definitive reconstruction.

​​

  • Perform evidence-based adhesive protocols for predictable posterior composite restorations using the Atlas-Sadr Composite Workflow System™ and ASCRPT™.

​​

  • Incorporate restoration-driven treatment planning using the PRENDO™ Clinical Pathway to strengthen collaboration between restorative dentists and endodontists while improving long-term restorative outcomes.

​​

  • Implement the PRENDO™ Shield and PRENDO™ Foundation protocols to preserve biologic substrate and optimize restoration of compromised and endodontically treated teeth.

​​

  • Evaluate structurally compromised teeth using evidence-based principles of ferrule development, remaining tooth structure assessment, and biomechanical risk analysis.

​​

  • Select appropriate restorative materials, fiber reinforcement, adhesive systems, and contemporary cementation protocols based on clinical evidence and long-term prognosis.

​​

  • Integrate precision preparation refinement, magnification, conventional impressions, digital scanning, CAD/CAM technology, and adhesive reconstruction into a coordinated restorative workflow.

​​

  • Understand the biomechanical principles of fiber post selection and immediate post-space preparation and recognize the clinical applications of the ATLAST™ Fiber Post System within restoration-driven reconstruction.

​​

  • Incorporate standardized evidence-based clinical pathways into everyday practice to improve efficiency, interdisciplinary collaboration, treatment predictability, and long-term patient outcomes.
