The purpose of root canal sealer is to fill the space between solid core material and the pulp canal walls. Root canal sealers serve to: 1) Fill irregularities and accessory canals not occupied by gutta-percha, 2) Create intimate adaptation between core material and canal walls, 3) Provide antimicrobial action in residual bacteria, 4) Seal dentinal tubules to prevent bacterial penetration, 5) Act as lubricant during gutta-percha placement. While sealers may have some biological properties, their primary function is mechanical - filling voids and creating hermetic seal around the core material.

A three-fourth crown (also called a partial veneer crown) covers most of the tooth but leaves one surface (usually buccal or facial) intact for better aesthetics.

Advantages:

Preserves more tooth structure compared to a full crown.

Better aesthetics since the facial surface is left untouched.

Good biomechanical compatibility.

Disadvantage:

Because it does not completely encircle the tooth, retention is compromised compared to a full crown.
