Restorative Strategies for Posterior Teeth Following Endodontic Treatment

Abstract

Objective: This paper aims to describe the approaches to reinstating posterior teeth following endodontic therapy; structural and biomechanical shifts, biological considerations, and various restoration modalities. Methods: A detailed analysis is performed by synthesizing the latest scientific research and clinical practices. Direct fillings, onlays, complete crowns, and new treatments like endo-crowns are among the restoration approaches investigated. Recommendations are made based on material qualities and application procedures to improve the lifetime and function of repaired teeth. Results: The review emphasizes the need of retaining structural integrity using appropriate restoration procedures. The ferrule effect and proper use of posts are highlighted as critical aspects in guaranteeing the stability and endurance of recovered teeth. Advancement in materials and techniques, for instance the use of endo-crowns, provide new avenues for successful repair. Conclusion: By integrating current research and clinical insights, dental practitioners can make informed decisions that ensure the long-term health and functionality of endodontically treated posterior teeth.
