Endocrown in Digital: Literature Review

Currently, with the incessant search for esthetics, new technologies and tissue-conserving materials have emerged, promoting the evolution of adhesive restorations for posterior teeth. Endocrown is a technique created to restore endodontically treated teeth, in which the pulp chamber space is included in the preparation, excluding the need for an intraradicular pin. Prosthetic rehabilitations are more predictable, performed in fewer clinical steps, providing esthetics and longevity through the CAD CAM system. This paper presents a literature review on endocrown restorations in digital dentistry, elucidating concepts, advantages, disadvantages and raising questions about their longevity and adaptation. Articles from PubMed/MedLine, Scholar Google and Google academic from the last 15 years were used, searching for keywords below. It is concluded that the endocrown restorative technique under indication and assiduous evaluation of the clinical case can achieve greater predictability and success, becoming an advantageous alternative, with treatment longevity in the recovery of molar teeth that undergo endodontic interventions, in an aesthetic way and functional.
