Wallpapering Technique for Endodontically Treated Teeth

The wallpapering technique is a key protocol for extending the function of endodontically treated teeth. More brittle due to their reduced hydration, non-vital teeth are more prone to fracture, so using fiber in this way creates a fail-safe that prevents failure beneath the coronal portion of the tooth and reinfection of the root.

Dr. David Alleman discusses how he helped pioneer this technique and other advancements in adhesive dentistry for cases with non-vital teeth in his Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry.
