Abstract

This case report describes the outcome of restoring the upper right central incisor after completion of root canal treatment, with emphasis on the use of a post-supported crown to rehabilitate the tooth’s appearance and function. A 31-year-old male patient presented to the UNEJ Dental Hospital with extensive caries affecting the upper right anterior tooth. The diagnosis was Previously Treated (Post PSA). Treatment consisted of placement of a metal post core followed by fabrication and cementation of a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown restoration (Post PSA). The results of this case indicate that crown restoration can effectively rehabilitate the aesthetic function of a severely damaged tooth after root canal treatment.
