Endocrown has emerged as a promising alternative for the aesthetic and functional restoration of a tooth that has undergone endodontic treatment. It can be difficult to restore the coronal portion of an endodontically treated tooth since retention and stability issues need to be taken into account. The mechanical properties of molars was lost after endodontic therapy. In fact, they became fragile as a result of the pulp and surrounding dentin tissues being removed. Endocrown is a suitable alternative for replacing molars with coronal destruction which is a single partial restoration.In this case study, the minimally invasive rehabilitation with new advanced lithium disilicate (IPS e.Max CAD) ceramic block is highlighted.
