Abstract
Substantial damage of tooth structure is associated with various problems like poor mechanical properties, poor aesthetic, and discomfort, functional and phonetic problem. Complex fractured crown of such tooth poses a challenge for the dentist, to save the tooth. The successful treatment of such tooth with significant destruction to the tooth structure not only depends on good endodontic treatment, but also on precise post endododontic restoration of the tooth after the completion of the same. A post and core helps to prevent fracture when the remaining tooth structure is very less. When a large amount of tooth structure is lost, a custom cast post and core is indicated. The primary purpose of the post is to retain a core that can be used to retain a definitive prosthesis. The following case report illustrate the interdisciplinary approach to restore function and aesthetic of severely damaged treated teeth by means of full veneer crowns following post and core method. Synchronised endodontic and prosthetic treatments with careful consideration of patient’s expectations and requirements were critical for a successful outcome & patient satisfaction.
