– endodontic materials
– irrigation fluids
– temporary intracanal medicaments
– materials for obturation (sealers, gutta-percha points)
– materials for temporary sealing of a tooth cavity access
Basic clinical procedures of hard dental tissues reconstruction before endodontic treatment.
Principles of crown restorations before endodontic treatment.
Morphology of teeth in an aspect of endodontic treatment.
– trephination points
– methods of straight line access preparation in one- and multirooted teeth.

Case presentation:
