Restoration of Endodontically Treated Teeth
This article provides a guide to the management of endodontically treated teeth. The process begins with an assessment of the endodontically treated tooth to determine its restorability. The restorable tooth is then evaluated for the amount of remaining coronal tooth structure, the anatomical position of the tooth, the functional load on the tooth and the esthetic requirements. Recommendations are made for increasing the success of single-rooted pulpless teeth restored with posts and cores and the success of pulpless molars.
