Via II — Endodontia

Operative & EndodonticsEndodontia — the study of the tooth within

One clinical pathway for the carious, fractured or infected tooth — diagnose with imaging and AI, restore chairside the same day, treat the canal under isolation, and rebuild from the root up.

The Pathway

Five stages, one case file

Every stage hands its data to the next — the scan becomes the diagnosis, the diagnosis the plan, the plan the same-day restoration, and the treated canal the foundation of the final crown.

01
Diagnose Imaging, IO scan & AI-assisted caries and pulp assessment
02
Plan Defect-driven design checked against the occlusion
03
Restore Same-day chairside inlay / onlay, milled & crystallised
04
Treat Root canal preparation & obturation under isolation
05
Rebuild Post, core and definitive crown on the treated tooth
Stage 01 — Diagnose

Read the tooth before you open it

Diagnosis fuses three sources into one case file: periapical and bitewing images from your clinic's or partner X-ray equipment, an intraoral surface scan of both arches, and an AI reading that turns pixels into a structured assessment.

Auralis Insight flags carious lesions, failing restorations and periapical changes on the images, and maps the existing dentition and occlusion from the scan — a conservative second read that supports, never replaces, vitality testing and the clinical exam.

Auralis Scan IO Intraoral scanner — full-arch surface capture of the defect, margins and opposing dentition in minutes Auralis Insight · AI Assessment Automated report: caries extent, failing restorations, periapical status & occlusal mapping
Clinical Imaging Capability-level support — imports periapical and bitewing images from your clinic's or partner X-ray equipment; vitality testing remains a clinical examination
Stage 02 — Plan

Plan around the occlusion

In Auralis Studio the scanned arches are analysed together: static and dynamic contacts, existing restorations and the extent of the defect decide whether the tooth takes a direct filling, an inlay, an onlay or a crown — the least invasive option that will survive the bite.

For indirect cases, preparation margins, taper and occlusal reduction are checked against the antagonist before anything is cut; the approved design travels to the mill without re-entering a single value.

Stage 03 — Restore

Mill the inlay before the patient leaves

For vital teeth with moderate tissue loss, the pathway stays chairside: scan the preparation, design in Studio, and mill a lithium disilicate inlay or onlay on the Mill 4X Chairside while the patient waits — one visit, no provisional, no second anaesthesia.

After milling, the restoration is crystallised and glazed in the Sinter Porcelain furnace in a short cycle, then characterised, tried in and bonded adhesively in the same appointment.

Caries detection keeps a fixed order: the field is isolated first — rubber dam or cotton rolls with suction — and a caries-detector dye or fluorescence reading is used to guide the final excavation, after gross removal, not before. Dye is an adjunct that marks infected dentine; it is not a diagnosis on its own, and occult lesions hiding under intact enamel still need radiographic confirmation from the Stage 01 images.

Stage 04 — Treat

Treat the canal, keep the tooth

When the pulp is irreversibly involved, the pathway turns endodontic: rubber dam isolation, access cavity, working-length determination with an electronic apex locator confirmed radiographically, chemo-mechanical preparation with rotary nickel-titanium instruments on an endodontic motor, then disinfection and obturation. All of it runs on capability-level clinic equipment — no proprietary instrument lock-in.

The digital thread still helps: the pre-operative scan and images stay in the case file for review and patient communication, and the treated tooth is scanned again so the final restoration is designed on the actual, post-endodontic anatomy.

One visit or two is decided by the diagnosis, not the clock: a vital pulp or a straightforward canal system can be prepared and obturated in a single sitting, while a symptomatic periapical lesion, swelling or a canal that cannot be dried earns an inter-appointment dressing and a second visit. Some cases do not belong on this pathway at all — calcified canals, retreatment after a previous root filling, and any indication for apical surgery are referred to an endodontic specialist, with the case file travelling along.

Apex Locator · Rubber Dam Clinic equipment tier — electronic working-length determination and absolute isolation as the standard of care
Irrigation & Obturation Clinic equipment tier — irrigation and obturation protocol matched to canal anatomy, verified with post-operative imaging
Stage 05 — Rebuild

Rebuild from the root up

A root-treated tooth is a brittle tooth: where ferrule and remaining walls allow, a post-and-core rebuilds the foundation and a full-coverage crown protects the cusps. The pre-operative archive scan and a quick re-scan taken once the post and core are complete flow together into crown design — no single scan is asked to carry the whole case.

Definitive crowns are designed in Auralis Studio, milled on Auralis Mill and sintered in Auralis Sinter — the same equipment line that produced the same-day inlay.

Recall follows consensus risk intervals: low-risk patients are reviewed every 6–12 months, high caries-risk patients every 3–4 months — and the review dates are logged in the case file from Stage 01.
