The prognosis of root-filled teeth depends not only on the success of the endodontic treatment but also on the amount of remaining dentine tissue, and the nature of final restoration. Fractures of restored endodontically treated teeth are a common occurrence in clinical practice. This article outlines the mechanisms and risk factors for fracture predilection in endodontically treated teeth. Dif...

Often there is the need of moving teeth endodontically treated or teeth still in endodontic treatment. In order to collaborate with the comprehension and substantiation of the following subjects we will discuss: 1) Orthodontic movement in endodontically treated teeth without periapical lesion, 2) Orthodontic movement in endodontically treated teeth with inflammatory periapical lesion, and 3) Or...

Pulpal pain does not refer to an endodontically treated tooth. Nevertheless, such a potential may exist based on a learned phenomenon due to previous treatment experiences but is rarely reported. Further, it is seldom reported to occur with atypical features. This case report is on a patient who was presented with pain in endodontically treated lower first molar (36) and recommended to undergo ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different restorative procedures on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth submitted to intracoronal bleaching. Fifty upper central incisors were distributed into 5 groups: GI - healthy teeth; GII - endodontically treated teeth sealed with Coltosol; GIII - endodontically treated teeth bleached and sealed with Coltosol; GIV ...

T echniques to reinforce endodontically treated teeth have been available for more than 100 years. However, few dentists have questioned the rationale that dictates automatic dowel reinforcement and coronal coverage of pulpless teeth. The difficulties of in vivo studies have motivated investigators to increase the number of in vitro studies of endodontically treated teeth. Although findings fro...

Clinical success of endodontically treated posterior teeth is determined by the postendodontic restoration. Several options have been proposed to restore endodontically treated teeth. Endocrowns represent a conservative and esthetic restorative alternative to full coverage crowns. The preparation consists of a circular equigingival butt-joint margin and central retention cavity into the entire ...

BACKGROUND Endodontically treated teeth have significantly different physical and mechanical properties compared to vital teeth and are more prone to fracture. The study aims to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth with and without post reinforcement, custom cast post-core and prefabricated post with glass ionomer core and to evaluate the ferrule effect on endodontica...

direct restoration of severely damaged endodontically treated teeth (ett) using available and conventional and current matrix systems is sometimes impractical and in some clinical cases is impossible. the aim of this paper is to introduce and describe a new matrix system based on rigid tray technique (rtt) for dealing with such difficult clinical cases.

The restoration of the endodontically treated tooth represents a key factor during treatment planning because of its impact on the longterm prognosis. Here we provide an analysis of clinical studies evaluating outcomes of various restorative treatments applied to endodontically treated teeth.
