    Restoring endodontically treated teeth with limited interocclusal space poses significant clinical challenges.

  • 2

    An adhesive partial-coverage endocrown was chosen to preserve tooth structure and avoid surgical intervention.

  • 3

    Endocrowns utilize the pulp chamber for retention, minimizing the need for extensive tooth preparation.

  • 4

    CAD/CAM technology enhances the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of endocrown restorations.

  • 5

    Clinical studies show endocrowns have favorable survival rates and improved fracture resistance compared to traditional methods.
