title: Restorative procedures after root canal therapy.
abstract: One of the most common indications for veterinary dental restoration involves replacing tooth structure after a root canal procedure. Special considerations are necessary due to the interaction of the restorative material with materials used to obturate the root canal. The restoration must provide a hermetic seal of the pulp chamber, as well as restore function. Combining several different restorative materials provides the best overall performance. In certain instances, full crown coverage is required to restore functional length or cervical anatomy.
