Abstract: Restoration of endodontically treated posterior teeth with extensive coronal loss is still a clinical problem. With the development of dentistry material and widely employment of computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM), endocrowns combined with high-strength glass ceramics, CAD/CAM, and reliable adhesive systems are widely accepted by both patients and prosthodontists for their minimal invasion and esthetic characteristics. This paper reviews the research progress on the comparison between endocrowns and conventional restoration, marginal preparation design, adaptation of endocrowns,ceramic materials,application of FRCs, and prognostic evaluation.
