Adhesive techniques enable minimally invasive procedures on endodontically treated teeth.
Direct and indirect composite restorations represent modern alternatives to traditional approaches involving posts, core build-ups, and full crowns. This article outlines the principles of this adhesive philosophy and illustrates them through two clinical cases.
Clinical implication:
When residual tooth structure allows, endodontically treated premolars should preferably be restored using direct or indirect adhesive composite techniques, avoiding radicular posts and full-coverage crowns.
