Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question

For the same recently treated tooth, what is the definitive restoration after endodontic therapy is completed?

  1. A full-coverage crown (cuspal protection)
  2. A permanent composite only
  3. Leave the temporary filling in place
  4. No restoration is needed
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. A full-coverage crown (cuspal protection)

Endodontically treated posterior teeth are best protected by a full-coverage crown to prevent fracture once the canal therapy is complete.Other options: A composite alone may not protect a structurally weakened posterior tooth; a temporary or no restoration risks fracture and recontamination.Key exam takeaway: Posterior endodontically treated teeth: definitively restore with a cuspal-coverage crown.
