The success of Endodontic treatment relies not only on the proper cleaning and disinfection of the root canal but also in the adequate restoration of the treated tooth. A well executed restoration is essential for the protection of the remaining tooth structure, preventing fracture, and avoiding reinfection. Additionally, it ensures the tooth’s long-term functionality and aesthetics, allowing the patient to maintain a balanced bite and a healthy smile. Therefore, the careful selection of appropriate materials and meticulous execution of the restoration is the key to maximize the durability and overall success of root canal therapy.

Conclusions
In summary, the success of endodontic treatment extends beyond the elimination of infection within the root canal. A Well-executed restoration plays a critical role in preserving the tooth’s structure, preventing fractures, and maintaining long-term oral health. Proper material selection and careful placement are essential to ensure the tooth remains functional, aesthetically pleasing, and durable over time.
