Crown and post-free adhesive restorations for endodontically treated posterior teeth: from direct composite to endocrowns

Coronal rehabilitation of endodontically treated posterior teeth is still a controversial issue. Although the classical crown supported by radicular metal posts remains widely spread in dentistry, its invasiveness has been largely criticized. New materials and therapeutic options based entirely on adhesion are nowadays available. They allow performing a more conservative, faster and less expensive dental treatment. All clinical cases presented in this paper are solved by using these modern techniques, from direct composite restorations to indirect endocrowns.
