Özet: Background The longevity of an endodontic treatment largely depends on the selection of an appropriate restoration that is concerned with efforts to save the tooth structure. In this perspective, endocrowns can be considered as a feasible alternative for post-core restorations. Objective To evaluate the clinical efficiency of CAD/CAM resin nano ceramic endocrowns in restorating posterior teeth. Case description A 37-year-old man who reported a chief complaint of pain was referred for treatment. After clinical and radiographic examination: three endocrowns was planned for the rehabilitation of the teeth number 14, 25, 26. The endocrowns were scanned and designed by using CEREC 3D software and milled from a CAD/CAM resin nano ceramic block. At one-year follow-up, no cracks, caries or decementation of the endocrowns was seen. Practical implications Endocrowns seems as a successful treatment technique as an alternative to post-core supported crowns in restoring the posterior teeth.
