Abstract
The aim of this paper is to compare the survival and success rates of endodontically treated posterior teeth restored with full veneer crowns or full cuspal coverage onlays in vivo. A literature search using PubMed, Medline and Embase via Ovid, and The Cochrane Library retrieved English and non-English language articles from 1946 to April 2022. Electronic searches were supplemented with the use of forward citation chaining via Google Scholar. A total of eleven studies met all predetermined search criteria. Data were extracted and tabulated. Survival rates for onlays ranged from 95% to 100% at two years and 90.7% to 100% at three years with success rates ranging from 86.6% - 96.6% at two years and 86.6% to 96% at three years. Survival results for full veneer crowns were reported at 87.8% at over two years, 95.1% at three years, and 84% - 97.73% at five to ten years. Success rates have been reported at 91.11% - 92.64% at five years and 60% at six years. The data suggest that the use of onlays instead of full veneer crowns in the restoration of endodontically treated posterior teeth is favourable in the short to midterm.
