Abstract

The esthetic demands of the patient have to be combined with conservative treatment procedures to deliver functional restorations for endodontically treated teeth. Ceramic inlays, fabricated in lithium dislicate material, satisfy both these requirements as post-endodontic restorations.

This paper demonstrates a simple, esthetic and conservative alternative to full coverage crowns for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth.
