Predictably restoring endodontically treated teeth. 1998

A McLean

Endodontically treated teeth can be restored with a wide range of techniques of varying complexity. This paper presents a straightforward technique for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth that meet certain standards. Criteria are provided for the utilization of crowns, composite resins, cast gold post cores, amalgam or composite build-ups, and passive, parallel, small diameter stainless steel posts to restore these teeth. Consideration is given to ferrule design and its importance in achieving success.

D019231	Tooth Preparation, Prosthodontic	The selected form given to a natural tooth when it is reduced by instrumentation to receive a prosthesis (e.g., artificial crown or a retainer for a fixed or removable prosthesis). The selection of the form is guided by clinical circumstances and physical properties of the materials that make up the prosthesis.
