Abstract

Prosthetic treatment of endodontically treated teeth has challenged the dentists for years. The reduced strength of these teeth accompanied by consequences of available treatment modalities, make complicated situations. Proposed in 1999 by Bindl and Mörmann as an alternative to the post-and-core supported crown, the endocrown is a one-piece ceramic construction that is minimally invasive of root canals. Following the sound principals, it could be a reliable and acceptable treatment option. The purpose of this lecture is to describe the indications, advantages and preparation guidelines for endocrown as well as the materials used to achieve a reliable and durable result that will be described by step-by-step procedure on the patient.
