A 19-year-old female patient came to the clinic with pain from cold stimulation and percussion .

 pre operative x-ray shows teeth No 36 ,37 restored with amalgam 

Fig. 2

Lower first and second molars treated with  amalgam restoration 2 years prior, pat suffering from pain due to recurrent caires and CL 5 caries ,after rubber dam placement and removal of all caires and unsupported enamel , all of cusps are removed because the remaining thickness is less than 3mm .

Fig. 3

Destrictive upper first premolar after ET deep margin elevation  and prepared biobase restored with overlay (lithium disilicate).

Fig. 4

Upper first premolar recall after 2 months. 

Fig. 5

Fractured upper second premolar under level of soft tissue ,doing crown lengthening to achieve enough amount from tooth structure for RD placement and starting re-treatment, final restoration overlay.

Fig. 6

Upper first premolar prepared biobase and restored with indirect overlay.

Fig. 7

Destructive upper first molar with failed  root canal treatment, patient lost a lot of teeth and have no opposing tooth, so the patient refused extraction.

Fig. 8

Upper first molar with failed restoration and root canal treatment, starting re-treatment with refine the cavity design, after that rubber dam placement and DME then complete RCT, finish this case with direct way 

Fig. 9

Upper second premolar with distal cavity ,endo treatment and direct restoration 

Fig. 10

Regarding all studies and research about the thickness of remaining cusps ,restoration of upper first molar is with direct way because the thickness  is more than  3mm .
