Abstract
ABSTRACT
Following endodontic (root canal) treatment, teeth loss their mechanical properties,
and the teeth become fragile because of the removal of pulp and dentin. Hence,
prosthetic restoration of root canal-treated teeth is a challenge. Endocrown is a
single restoration, and it is considered an excellent alternative restoration for
teeth with large coronal destruction and root canal treatment difficulties. Zirconia
endocrowns are reliable materials for root canal-treated molars with extensive loss
of crown structure. This case series presents four cases of restoration of severely
damaged molars presenting various symptoms and prosthetic restorations were
done by zirconia-based endocrown. The prognosis in all patients was good.
