Endocrown preparation: Review

Abstract

Endodontically treated teeth usually need special techniques to be restored and regain function. Endocrown can be an excellent option for restoring severely damaged teeth, which showed better performance in molars than premolars. It is an adhesive restoration with minimally invasive preparation. The preparation design should provide sufficient retention, stability and structural durability to the restoration. Several studies described Endocrown preparation following Bindl and Mormann technique. However, few studies described some modifications to the original preparation.
