Endocrown: An Alternative Approach for Restoring Endodontically Treated Molars

Rehabilitating endodontically treated molars continues be significantly challenging to dental practitioners. Following endodontic treatment, these molars often lose their mechanical integrity, necessitating innovative solutions for effective restorations. Endocrowns are considered nowadays as a promising option, consisting of single-unit prostheses performed with acid-etchable reinforced ceramics. They are specifically designed for molars that have experienced considerable loss of coronal structure. The aim of this report is to evaluate the indications and practical applications of endocrowns as an alternative to traditional single crowns, It includes a clinical case report detailing the fabrication of an endocrown restoration using lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e.Max CAD) for a mandibular first molar with extensive coronal damage.
