Case Descriptions:
A 38-year-old male patient presented to our office with complaints of spontaneous pain and discomfort during mastication in the lower right posterior region. Clinical examination revealed a deep carious lesion on tooth 46, accompanied by significant loss of coronal structure and clinical signs consistent with irreversible pulpitis.
Following a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, a treatment plan was established, involving root canal therapy followed by full coronal restoration.
Considering the extent of the remaining tooth structure, an endocrown was selected over a traditional crown in order to preserve as much dental tissue as possible and to optimize the biomechanical performance of the restoration. The clinical procedure included root canal treatment, conservative cavity preparation suitable for adhesive bonding, and a final digital impression for the fabrication of a full ceramic endocrown.
This approach provided a functional and aesthetic restoration while maintaining the structural integrity of the remaining dental tissues.
