Brief summary

First, Participants in this study will be recruited according to inclusion criteria. Proper examination for the participants (clinically and radiographically). Preparation for endodontically treated molar for receiving high performance polymer endocrown. Checking and verification for the restoration (trying) and assessment of marginal and internal fit by replica technique. Then final cementation of endocrown.

Detailed description

Examination and diagnosis: Selection and examination of the patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Diagnosis of the patient's chief complaint and teeth that will be involved in this study will be done. Primary alginate impressions for diagnosis on primary casts and for mounting. The patients will be asked to maintain good oral hygiene measures by using tooth brush twice daily. Taking a professional pre-operative photo. Tooth preparation procedure: Preparation of endocrown with two preparation designs on endodontically treated molars. After tooth preparation, the final impression will be taken for each participant using polyvinyl siloxane impression and temporization of cavity using light curable temporary material. Restoration trial appointment: Endocrown try in and assessment of marginal and internal fit using replica technique with light body rubber impression. Fabrication of final restoration: Delivery of high performance polymer endocrown will be fabricated according to the two preparation designs; butt and bevel.

Masking description

The participants and recruiters will not know the study group to which the next participant will be assigned. The trial participants, outcome assessors, and data analysis will be blinded after assignment to interventions. Emergency un-blinding: In cases of emergency to decrease or prevent any harms for the participants.
