Direct restorations versus full crowns in endodontically treated molar teeth: A three-year randomized clinical trial

This study showed similar 3-year survival/success rates of direct composite restorations compared to metal-ceramic crowns in restoring endodontically treated molar teeth with minimal structural loss. These results indicate that direct restorations may be suitable alternatives for molars with minimal structural loss, particularly in cases with reduced occlusal loads, a need for endodontic monitoring, or financial limitations.
