Criteria for the predictably restorable endodontically treated tooth

A McLean

    Journal (Canadian Dental Association)
    |November 13, 1998
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study provides science-based criteria for predictably restoring endodontically treated teeth. Key factors include sufficient tooth structure for biologic width and ferrule, plus adequate root length and post length for teeth requiring posts.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Restorative Dentistry
    • Endodontics

    Background:

    • Endodontically treated teeth require careful consideration for restoration to ensure long-term success.
    • Predicting the success of restoring endodontically treated teeth is crucial for clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish science-based criteria for identifying endodontically treated teeth with a high probability of predictable restoration.
    • To guide clinicians in selecting suitable candidates for restoration, maximizing long-term outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and synthesis of existing literature and clinical guidelines.
    • Development of specific measurement criteria for tooth structure (biologic width, ferrule length) and root characteristics (apical seal, post length).
    • Consideration of functional loads and implications for prosthetic design.

    Main Results:

    • Criteria defined for teeth not requiring a post: biologic width + ferrule length (4.5 mm supra-bony solid tooth, minimum 1 mm dentin thickness).
    • Criteria defined for teeth requiring a post: includes 4 mm apical seal and post length equal to crown length.
    • Emphasis on assessing functional demands and avoiding compromised teeth as abutments for specific removable and fixed prostheses.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinicians can use these criteria to predictably restore endodontically treated teeth.
    • Adherence to these guidelines enhances the likelihood of long-term success for restored endodontic treatments.
    • Specific prosthetic applications, such as precision attachment RPDs or cantilever FPDs, should avoid endodontically treated teeth.
