Abstrakt: Rehabilitation of endodontically treated molar still remains a controversial issue. Over the years, the use of postretained restorations has been questioned because of potential tooth weakening. Nowadays, endocrowns are considered as a reliable alternative technique to restore endodontically treated teeth with extensive coronal damage. This partial restoration requires specific preparation design and rigorous adhesion protocol. The present paper aimed to describe the preparation technique for endocrowns, indications, contraindications, and best material adapted for fabrication. This was illustrated through a clinical case to restore the first right mandibular molar by an endocrown fabricated from lithium disilicate-ceramic (IPS e-max CAD). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
