Abstract

Background:  To observe the performance of endocrown in badly carious teeth. Two patients with badly carious tooth in posterior region of mouth came to private clinic for treatment. Both patients were interested in conservative and permanent treatment of posterior teeth. Crown height and occlusion was not permissible to do conventional crown. So decision was taken to do endocrown for both patient, case-1 in tooth no26 and in case -2 tooth no 25. Both crowns were made with high strength pressable ceramic IPS emax and cemented with paracore resin cement. After cementation of endocrown clinical observation was done after one week, one month, three months and six months for retention, color changes, marginal ditching and partial or complete fracture and debonding of endocrown. According to observational parameter of clinical study both crown was intact after every observation, there is no color changes, marginal ditching, partial or complete fracture of both crown. Both crowns retain properly in place and both patients have no complain about its function. Endocrown is alternate treatment plan in clinical dentistry after root canal treatment where badly broken teeth are present.
