Computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems have been widely used as a fabrication method for restorations because of their high efficiency and accuracy, which significantly reduces fabrication time. However, molars with insufficient clearance or short clinical crown lengths require retention holes or grooves on the preparation, making it difficult to replicate the shapes with the CAM milling system. In these cases, restorations using the lost-wax method are selected. This article focuses on one-piece endodontic crowns (endocrowns) fabricated with a CAD-CAM system (CAD-CAM endocrowns), in which their posts and crowns are integrated. Articles from July 2012 to August 2023 were searched in PubMed with the keyword "endocrown". This review discusses the application of CAD-CAM endocrowns to molars from the viewpoint of model experiment (fracture resistance, adaptation) and clinical research. This technique, which allows margins and internal gaps to be set within the clinically acceptable range, is reported to be an effective way of restoring molars with high survival rates in clinical research.

Endodontically treated molar rehabilitation is still challenging. Molars lose their mechanical properties after endodontic therapy. As a result of the pulp and surrounding dentin tissues being removed, they actually became brittle.

Materials And Methods: A total of 33 indirect restorations (16 overlay, 17 endocrown) (4 premolar, 29 molar) produced using PCR (Formlabs) were applied to 30 patients by a single dentist. The restorations were evaluated according to the modified USPHS criteria at baseline (7 days), 12 and 24 months times by two independent evaluators.

Statement Of Problem: The outcome of posterior nonvital teeth depends not only on endodontic factors but also on the effectiveness of the restoration. The growing trend in minimally invasive dentistry has led to increasing interest in 1-piece endodontic crowns as an alternative restoration. Nevertheless, their indications and longevity lack extensive exploration, thereby limiting their widespread acceptance in dental practice.

Article Synopsis
- * It details a case where a fractured upper incisor fiber post was removed with a specialized tool and digital guide plate, followed by root canal retreatment.
- * Finally, the restoration involved CAD/CAM fiber post-core integration and a zirconia crown, with occlusion testing utilizing the T-Scan Ⅲ system, providing valuable insights into repairing broken fiber posts.

Statement Of Problem: The impact of various preparation designs on the fracture resistance and fracture type of mandibular premolars restored with 3 dimensionally (3D) printed, 1-piece endodontic crowns remains unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different preparation designs on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of mandibular premolars restored with 3D printed 1-piece endodontic crowns after thermal aging.
Material And Methods: Forty-five freshly extracted mandibular premolars received 3 different preparation designs: with at least 2 intact cuspal walls (2CW), with only 1 intact cuspal wall (1CW), and no cuspal wall present (NoCW).
