INTRODUCTION: Through the advent of adhesive dentistry and invasive minimally preparations, endocrown restorations have been an alternative restorative technique for extensively destroyed endodontically treated teeth. They are prosthetic restorations with macro mechanical retention inside the pulp chamber of a pulped tooth and micro-retention with adhesive cementation techniques in the chamber and on the edges of the cavity. It is a less traumatic restorative procedure and provides better maintenance of the dental remnant when compared to the technique with intraarticular retainers because they do not require unblocking of the conduit, with satisfactory aesthetic and functional results in long-term studies. OBJECTIVE: This work aims to review the literature on endocrown restorations, as well as their clinical functioning. METHODOLOGY: The review was carried out through an online bibliographic survey of scientific articles on the platforms Pubmed, Scielo, and Google Scholar through the descriptors: non-vital tooth, dental prosthesis, oral rehabilitation, and ceramic, respecting the time limit from 1999 to 2020, furthermore to chapters of reference books in dental practice. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: It was concluded that the use of endocrown restoration is a reliable alternative to restore extensively destroyed endodontically treated molars, adding several advantages from functional and aesthetic points of view. However, further clinical studies are still needed so that premolars and anterior teeth can be accomplished safely and successfully in the long term.
