Pre-endodontic restoration of structurally compromised teeth: current concepts
Dimitrios Gavriil, Angeliki Kakka, Paul Myers, Christopher J. O ́Connor
Abstract
Teeth that require endodontic treatment are often structurally compromised and this considerably complicates endodontic procedures. Therefore, pre-endodontic restoration is a key approach that dentists should consider for such teeth. This article discusses current concepts of pre-endodontic restoration, with a focus on adhesive restorative methods and surgical/orthodontic techniques, and provides a relevant decision-making flowchart.
