Teeth requiring endodontic treatment need to be assessed restoratively prior to initiating endodontic care. The canals may be identified, instrumented, and obturated successfully, but if the tooth cannot be predictably restored, the clinical success is guarded. Although adhesive dentistry has improved how we can restore teeth, ferrules and posts still are required from an engineering standpoint in some teeth, depending on what remains of the native tooth structure. This course will review the engineering behind predictably restoring endodontically treated teeth, how to assess the tooth prior to initiation of endodontic treatment, and what factors improve treatment success.
