Abstract
Restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is crucial for long-term success. This article reviews current concepts in restoring ETT, which focuses on structural integrity and functional performance. Key factors, including residual tooth structure, ferrule effect and peri-cervical dentine preservation, are discussed alongside advances in conservative access designs, biomimetic protocols and innovative materials, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres. Decision-making frameworks, including the Restorative Difficulty Evaluation System (RDES), are highlighted to support clinicians in achieving predictable outcomes, ensuring tooth survival and patient satisfaction. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The long-term success of endodontically treated teeth depends on selecting appropriate restorative strategies that ensure structural integrity, functional performance and aesthetic outcomes, informed by current evidence and tailored clinical decision-making.
