Description
Summary:The ideal restoration of endodontically treatedteeth (ETT) has been widely and controversiallydiscussed in the literature. Prevention of healthydental structure is essential to help mechanicalstabilization of tooth-restoration integrity, increasethe amount of suitable surfaces for adhesion andthus positively affect the long-term success. ETT areaffected by a higher risk of biomechanical failure thanvital teeth. With the development of adhesive systems,the need for post-core restorations is also reduced.Especially for restoration of excessively damagedETT, endocrowns have been used as an alternative tothe conventional post-core and fixed partial dentures.Compared to conventional methods, good aesthetics,better mechanical performance, and less cost andclinic time are the advantages of endocrowns.
