Abstract : Background- In the past, conventional wisdom in post-endodontic care dictated the application of full coverage restorations to all teeth. However, recently a shift towards minimally invasive dentistry has gained traction among the restorative dentists. This change has been driven by accumulating evidence revealing that full coverage restorations often result in significant loss of healthy tooth structure. Consequently, clinicians and researchers have advocated for more conservative approaches to restoring endodontically treated teeth. These alternatives encompass partial coverage restorations such as inlays, onlays, overlays, and even simpler resin composite cores. While the allure of this minimally invasive strategy is evident, there are cases where greater coverage is necessary. Various factors, including tooth type, occlusal load, number of missing teeth, remaining healthy tooth structure, and tooth position, must be carefully considered before selecting an appropriate post- endodontic restoration.  Conclusion- The purpose of this review is to summarize the post- endodontic restorations, various new materials their indications depending on the remaining tooth structure and the teeth that needs to be restored. Light has been thrown on the recent advances in the prosthetic aspect in post-endodontic cases with minimally invasive dentistry in mind.
