Endodontic treatment is mostly done on teeth strongly affected by caries, multiple restorations or fractures. Such teeth are often additionally debilitated by the endodontic procedure and loss of intrinsic dentinal fluid may also affect the tooth properties. That is why restorative procedures are often required to rebuild the tooth.1 Restoring normal occlusion and function of the tooth after endodontic treatment is very vital since, it tends to fracture due to widespread loss of tooth structure and is weaker than a vital tooth.2 Few factors affect the selection of restoration of ETT. The most significant factors are amount of residual coronal tooth structure, position of the tooth in the dental arch and if it serves as an abutment for removable or fixed prosthesis.3,4The prognosis of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is predisposed by a variety of different parameters such as the number of adjacent teeth, occlusal contacts, position of the tooth in the dental arch, apical status, collagen deprivation, intermolecular cross- linking of the root dentin, amount of hard tissue loss, remaining dentin wall thickness, type of decisive restoration, presence of a minimum of 1.5–2.0 mm of ferrule preparation and type of post and core material used.
