        abstract = {Various restorative techniques have been employed for a long time to restore endodontically treated teeth. The outcome of an endodontic procedure determines the clinical success of the treated tooth.  Prevention of healthy dental structure is essential to help mechanical stabilization of tooth restoration integrity, increasing the amount of suitable surfaces for adhesion and thus positively creating an impact on long-term success. Endocrowns are an innovative restorative approach for endodontically treated teeth, offering a conservative alternative to conventional post-and-core techniques. This monolithic restoration integrates the crown and core as a single unit, using the pulp chamber for retention and adhesive bonding for stability. Clinical evidence suggests that endocrown /preserves more tooth structure, reduces the risk of root fractures, and demonstrates excellent marginal adaptation. Despite their advantages, success depends on proper case selection, material choice, and bonding protocol. This article reviews the design principles, materials, indications, preparation techniques, and clinical performance of endocrown as a modern restorative solution for structurally compromised endodontically treated teeth.},
