Aim: This article aims to present an advanced therapeutic approach based entirely on adhesive dentistry.   Background: The restoration of endodontically-treated teeth (ETT) has been widely and controversially discussed in the dental literature, most of which recommends cuspal coverage of ETT to protect against potential tooth fracture. The main goal of conservative dentistry in managing ETT is to achieve minimally invasive preparation with maximal cuspal coverage. The “endocrown” follows this rationale. In addition, proximal caries with deep cervical margins are particularly complex to manage clinically. Moreover, there are various clinical approaches to such challenges, such as placing a base of composite resin to coronally displace proximal margins underneath indirect bonded restorations as known as deep margin elevation (DME) or coronal margin relocation.
