MOD inlays for Endodontically treated teeth have been known historically for high fracture rate clinically, particularly with wide cavities and thin remaining cusps, and with the conventional luting procedure that involve no adhesive cementation. Surprisingly, some still believe that every MOD cavity in the posterior endodontically treated teeth should be restored with onlay or overlay. I think the clinical decision of this matter is related to several considerations including, the cavity size, the support of the remaining tooth structure, the thickness of the axial wall, the type of the tooth, and the dentists expertise, decision, and professionalism of restorative and adhesive procedures.

Is there any clinical evidence that support the cuspal coverage in all situations?
