Introduction

In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.

Restorative dentistry includes all those treatments that target the oral rehabilitation of the patient both functionally and aesthetically. Therefore, this subject clinical cases in which intervened different areas of dentistry, especially endodontics and dental aesthetics are presented. The goal is to offer students a comprehensive idea of all the steps that must be performed to achieve a correct diagnosis, and subsequent successful treatment.
