Abstract

Many studies have been conducted on the restorative treatment of endodontically treated teeth, but there is still no consensus. At the same time, restorations of endodontically treated teeth can be very challenging. This article focuses on the characterization of endodontically treated teeth, their pre-restorative assessments and approaches for making more successful restorations with current novel direct restorative materials.

Keywords
