description Summary: Restoration of the endodontically treated teeth is a controversial topic in restorative dentistry, since many options exist to restore whole or partially dental crowns. The option for treatment is not selected based on a precise diagnosis of the state of the dental remanent and differences between anterior and posterior teeth are not evaluated. Therefore, a classification of the extension defects of endodontically posterior teeth (EPT) is presented. This classification is based on 4 specific variables: vertical height and walls distribution of supragingival remaining coronal tooth structure or core, diameter and root canal depth, and the distance of floor pulpar chamber and the root furcation. The correct application of this classification can help the operator to choose the best treatment option for the reconstruction of EPT, also this classification can help investigators to reach more organized results in future investigations on the reconstruction of EPT. Key words: Post and core. Endodontic. Diagnostic characteristics.
