Restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is crucial for long-term success. This article reviews current concepts in restoring
ETT, which focuses on structural integrity and functional performance. Key factors, including residual tooth structure, ferrule effect and pericervical dentine preservation, are discussed alongside advances in conservative access designs, biomimetic protocols and innovative materials,
such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres. Decision-making frameworks, including the Restorative Difficulty Evaluation System
(RDES), are highlighted to support clinicians in achieving predictable outcomes, ensuring tooth survival and patient satisfaction.
CPD/Clinical Relevance: The long-term success of endodontically treated teeth depends on selecting appropriate restorative strategies
that ensure structural integrity, functional performance and aesthetic outcomes, informed by current evidence and tailored clinical
decision-making
