Endocrown: Conservative Treatment Modality for Restoration of Endodontically Treated Teeth ? A Case Report

Coronal rehabilitation of severely damaged endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is the most challenging task as there is high risk of failure than vital teeth. Advances in adhesive dentistry have made great contributions to cosmetic & restorative dentistry over the past few decades. The endocrown is indicated for the restoration of severely damaged molars, which requires specific restoration techniques to satisfy criteria that are primarily biomechanical in nature. In this paper, restorations of severely damage molar teeth were done by endocrown which represent a conservative and esthetic restorative alternative to full coverage crown. Endocrown type restoration fabricated from injected lithium disilicate ceramic in molars with extensive coronal destruction. This endocrowns can be acid etched, that have aggregate strength and esthetics, that bond to remaining tooth structure. New generation of ceramics &adhesives may lead to view of this endocrown as an alternative to conventional crown-root anchored restoration.
