Abstract :
An endodontically treated anterior tooth requires extracoronal restoration when the tooth structure is weakened or lost due to caries, placement of previous restorations and/or discoloured. The reduced tooth structure makes retention of extracoronal restoration difficult. The purpose of post is to provide retention for the core restoration, which replaces lost coronal structure. This article describes restoration of mutilated maxillary anterior teeth by using cast post and core, followed by porcelain fused to metal restorations.
