Abstract

Before root canal treatment, restorability must be determined; this involves careful evaluation of the existing tooth structure, including removal of all caries along with any existing restorations, both to reduce the risk of marginal leakage during treatment and to reveal the amount of sound tooth structure. After completion of root canal treatment, the teeth need to be restored to their previous form and function. Specific restorative options must be evaluated based on functional demand and remaining tooth structure. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the considerations needed to properly restore endodontically treated teeth.
