Abstract

Objective: To determine the use of endocrowns as an alternative for a post-endodontic restoration. Materials and methods: This study was carried out during the B-2020 semester. A universe of 300 articles was obtained from which, according to the inclusion criteria, a sample of 33 scientific articles was selected that respond to our following variables: Endodontic treatment, Biomechanical behavior, Tooth preparation, Type of material, Dental pieces. Results The findings found in 32 articles leave evidence, where the first point deals with the fact that the main disadvantage suffered by a tooth during post-endodontia is the loss of dental tissue, the second point focused on the dental foot with 62% and the ideal material (said by 21 articles) for an endocrown would be a molar based on lithium disilicate ceramic and finally it was determined with 46% that the main biomechanical function performed by an endocrown is resistance to fracture. Conclusion After the analysis of several articles, it was possible to conclude that an endo crown is indicated as a restorative material for post-endodontic treatment, since it allows greater preservation of dental tissue, it is much more economical due to its simplification of steps, it is very aesthetic, it has a high longevity prognosis, followed by an excellent biomechanical function and eliminates the need to remake stumps preventing the tooth root from tending to fracture.
