Huong CQ, Duc NM, Hai TD

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.
