Traditional rehabilitation of endodontic treated tooth: 12-month follow-up

Abstract

The objective of this case report is establishing aesthetic harmony through the application of a traditional rehabilitation of endodontic treated tooth with fiberglass post with lithium disilicate crown in 12-month follow-up. In the realm of restorative dentistry, meticulous planning becomes paramount when dealing with teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment. The evaluation of the remaining coronary structure and its functional requirements lays the foundation for a successful restorative procedure. A crucial aspect of this process involves the careful selection of an intraradicular pin, with studies highlighting the comparable elasticity of fiberglass post to dentin. This attribute contributes significantly to the development of a dentin-post-core monobloc system, enhancing force distribution along the root during stressful conditions. In the context of anterior teeth, achieving an accurate impression takes on heightened importance for prosthetic rehabilitation, driven by aesthetic considerations. The precision of the impression serves as a prerequisite for crafting indirect restorations that boast optimal marginal fit. Furthermore, the patient's impeccable gingival health and alignment play pivotal roles in determining the success of the overall case resolution. Remarkably, in the presented case, the alignment of the teeth required no correction, underscoring the synergistic approach of integrating restorative, orthodontic, and periodontal techniques. This strategy not only addresses functional aspects but also emphasizes the aesthetic considerations crucial for patient satisfaction. We conclude that the traditional technique of rehabilitating endodontically treated teeth with the use of an intraradicular post and crown continues to be a good aesthetic alternative.
