Abstract

Developments in materials and techniques, geographical locations, age, specialty, and affiliations of dental practitioners affect the preference of post-endodontic restoration. The restorative component of endodontic treatment should optimise the tooth’s survival with a good coronal seal, cuspal protection where required and prevention of further primary disease. It is also important to remember that the prognosis of endodontically treated teeth depends not only on endodontic treatment success itself, but also on the amount of remnant tooth tissue and the definitive restoration that will be placed onto the dental element. This article outlines the available evidence for the restoration of root filled treated teeth
