Abstract

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth continues to be a challenging task for all clinical practitioners, due to various physiological alterations to their composition and remaining dentin macrostructure, endodontically treated teeth are usually left weak and friable post treatment

Therefore, it is acceptable that these teeth require exceptional management protocols to restore them to standardized form function and aesthetics.

There are different techniques, protocols, theories and materials that are applied in such cases, but careful clinical and radiographic evaluation

is always required in the first instance in order to achieve a minimally invasive preparation with maximal tissue preservation which is considered the gold standard in modern dentistry.

This lecture discusses preoperative assessment of ETT and a variety of treatment options being implemented.
