Restoration of endodontically treated teeth

Abstract

Endodontically treated teeth have lost substantial tooth structure as a result of previous restorations, dental caries, and the access preparation for the endodontic therapy. The topic of restoring these teeth is complex and controversial, and their long-term prognosis is directly connected to the quality of the final restoration. This article describes contemporary knowledge of the biomechanical principles related to the restoration of pulpless teeth and provides a critical review of currently available materials and methods.
