Endocrown,
onlay, inlay.

These are conservative restorative approaches that replace tooth structure loss with a single-piece laboratory restoration.

Inlays, onlays, and endocrowns are indirect restorations fabricated out-of-mouth as a single piece. An inlay replaces material loss between cusps, whereas an onlay also covers weakened cusps. An endocrown mostly derives retention from the pulp chamber in an endodontically treated posterior tooth. With proper design, less tooth tissue may be removed compared to full circumferential crowns; however, it cannot be claimed that this applies to every case or that they will never break. The longevity of the restoration is influenced by remaining tooth structure, cracks, material, adhesive protocol, occlusion, and oral care. While inlays/onlays can be performed on vital teeth, they can also be used on endodontically treated teeth depending on clinical necessity.

They can be evaluated for teeth with large fillings, fractures, or cusp weakness, provided the remaining structure is suitable for adhesive bonding.

Vitality, root canal treatment quality, cracks, wall thickness, caries, gum health, and occlusion are examined.

The tooth is prepared, impressions are taken, the restoration is fabricated, tried in, and bonded using an appropriate adhesive system.

Anesthesia may be used during preparation; temporary contact sensitivity or hot-cold sensitivity may occur after bonding.

Subgingival caries, root fracture, insufficient tissue, or uncontrolled bruxism may limit this method.
