The ideal restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) has been widely and controversially discussed in the literature. Prevention of healthy dental structure is essential to help mechanical stabilization of tooth-restoration integrity, increase the amount of suitable surfaces for adhesion and thus positively affect the long-term success. ETT are affected by a higher risk of biomechanical failure than vital teeth. With the development of adhesive systems, the need for post-core restorations is also reduced. Especially for restoration of excessively damaged ETT, endocrowns have been used as an alternative to the conventional post-core and fixed partial dentures. Compared to conventional methods, good aesthetics, better mechanical performance, and less cost and clinic time are the advantages of endocrowns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
