Beyond Traditional Restorations: Management With Endocrown in a Late Adolescent

Endodontically treated molar rehabilitation is still challenging. Molars lose their mechanical properties after endodontic therapy. As a result of the pulp and surrounding dentin tissues being removed, they actually became brittle. A single one-piece restoration called an endodontic crown might be a viable alternative for crown restoration on molars with huge coronal damage presenting difficulties for endodontic treated teeth. This case report explains the successful restoration of an extensively damaged molar in a young individual using an endocrown. The decision to use this technique was guided by the patient's age, the desire to maintain natural tooth structure, and the restrictions of traditional post-and-core restorations. The endocrown, fabricated from lithium disilicate glass, offered advantages such as minimal tooth preparation, a simplified restoration process, and extraordinary esthetic and functional outcomes. Long-term research is still required, but this particular case strengthens the argument for endocrowns as a beneficial restorative alternative, especially when more conventional methods could jeopardize the tooth's long-term health.
