The restoration of endodontically treated teeth has undergone significant changes in the last 20 years. Most of these changes are associated with the preservation of tooth structure, this has been achieved first of all with the increasing use of operative microscopes, nickel titanium instruments and more recently cone beam computed tomography; these instru- ments have allowed the clinicians to reduce significantly the amount of coronal and radicular hard tooth tissue removed in the process of cutting access cavities. The use of composites has also allowed the clinicians to restore with adhesive techniques teeth that would otherwise require extensive and destructive mechanical retentions. The use of partial crowns is becoming increasingly popular and this also helps prevent tooth structure loss. This article will focus on the choices available to restore both anterior and posterior teeth and will focus more on these contemporary adhesive techniques.
