Root-filled teeth are weakened by loss of strategic tooth structure through restorative procedures and caries, rather than by the endodontic procedures. Therefore, prompt restoration is required to minimise coronal leakage and the risk of tooth fracture. However, restorability should be confirmed before root canal treatment begins, by removing caries and existing restoration to evaluate the residual tooth structure. Based on the remaining tooth structure, the restoration is planned to maximise the longevity of root-filled teeth as a functional unit. This review considers risk factors for survival of root-filled teeth and principles of restoration, rather than detailed techniques, including direct and indirect restorations.

Ssummary and conclusions

Restorability and the type of definitive restoration should be determined, at least provisionally, before root canal treatment is begun. The restoration is crucial for the long-term survival and function of the root-filled tooth. The choice and design of the restoration should be based on the principles of conservation and protection of remaining tooth structure, which requires some form of cuspal protection for most posterior teeth.

This article seeks to complicate notions of metajournalistic discourse by building on research on journalistic evidence and news narratives to argue for concepts of both manifest and latent forms of discourse. Through a textual analysis of news narratives, article thrust, and style in UK and French digital news coverage of Naomi Osaka’s decision to withdraw from press conferences at the cusp of the 2021 French Open, we argue that journalists interviewed each other or commented themselves on her reasons for not participating in press conferences in what we refer to as manifest metajournalistic discourse. However, our analysis also found a latent form of metajournalistic discourse that appears as the coverage itself, through an argumentation of news storytelling that is imbued with journalists’ sentiments or “takes” of an issue or topic. Specifically, we argue that journalists use both recognizable journalistic forms of texts, such as first-person, bylined articles and quotes (what we refer to as a manifest form of metajournalistic discourse), and paraphrasing, description, sources, and other reporting (what we refer to as a latent form of metajournalistic discourse) when reporting on themselves and others.
