Abstract
It is well known that the primary function of a tooth is mastication. However, tooth fracture remains a major complication in endodontically-treated teeth. When the normal structure of a tooth is compromised by traumatic injuries, endodontic treatment remains the most viable option to maintain the tooth. However, endodontically treated teeth (ETT) exhibit greater brittleness and are more prone to fracture than non-ETT.
