Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this report is to (i) review the current literature on the status of root filled teeth, (ii) analyse the most important factors in decision‐making, (iii) discuss the current restorative concepts, and (iv) classify both the evidence and clinical practice in a way that seeks to be clear, understandable and helpful for clinicians. Restoration of root filled teeth represents a challenge for the clinician and remains a controversial subject. The guidelines describe a new classification that is drawn from evidence presented in the literature and also from clinical expertise‐based reviews. It describes five categories of teeth.
