A Comprehensive Review of All-Ceramic Endocrown as Alternative Approach for Management of Root Canal Treated Teeth

The preservation of tooth structure is critical from a biomimetic standpoint to enhance the mechanical and functional aspects. The main advantage of endocrown is that they do not require root dentine removal to achieve retention. A literature search was performed to investigate Endocrown in the literature from 1995 to May 2022. A manual search of the bibliographies of the studies discovered was supplemented by a search of three main research databases (PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus) in English. Case studies were not included. The aesthetics and mechanical performance of endocrowns are superior to those of earlier techniques, and they are also less expensive and take less chair time to verify these results, controlled clinical trials with longer follow-up times are required to support this result. A "three-step assessment" was used to select the articles. In the first phase, all relevant published titles and abstracts were evaluated, taking into consideration the study's in-clusion and ex-clusion criteria. In the second phase, the entire content of the selected articles was reviewed, assessed, and graded using the same criteria as previously. The third phase entailed critically evaluating the selected relevant research. The endocrown consider an excellent choice to treat the root canal canal-treated teeth with significant coronal tissue loss. Endocrown's marginal fit was superior to the traditional crowns. Consequently, there is a higher possibility of success when crowning endodontically treated teeth.
