After root canal treatment, teeth are weakened and more prone to failure. Prosthetic reconstruction of these teeth should strengthen the remaining structure and ensure the long-term effect of the treatment. An endocrown is a monolithic restoration, which use adhesion and mechanical retention. Most often, it is used during the reconstruction of the non-vital molars. It is debatable whether the premolars due to its structure should be rebuilt without the use of post. An endocrown is also used in reconstruction of teeth with low crowns and with short, obliterated root canals. The main advantages of it are a simple procedure, shorter treatment protocol compared to the classic reconstruction, lower costs, satisfactory aesthetics, reduction of stress, minimal invasive preparation or a smaller number of complications. Most frequently mentioned drawbacks are the possibility of fracture of the tooth and debonding of reconstruction. Most commonly used materials in performing endocrowns are composite and glass ceramics. According to the advantages and clinical trials, endocrowns seem to be a good alternative to the classic restorations after endodontic treatment using posts and crowns.

Patients with Wilms' tumor, a common malignant childhood tumor, have an excellent survival rate. The treatment protocol, which consists of a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and irradiation, may induce both short- and long-term systemic effects. This paper addresses concerns regarding the effects of treatment on long-term renal function in the survivors of Wilms' tumor. In a retrospective study, the charts of 36 patients treated at the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario were analyzed with respect to the epidemiology and parameters of renal function. It was determined that patients with Stage I disease maintained normal renal function over five years. However, those with Stage III and IV disease exhibited decreased renal function immediately after treatment but regained normal renal function within five years. This investigation clearly establishes the need for future prospective studies of long-term renal function of the remaining kidney in children who have undergone treatment for Wilms' tumor.
