Rehabilitating endodontically treated mandibular molar having inadequate coronal length with “Endocrown” - A neoteric clinical approach!
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Preservation of the natural tooth structure or its strength reinforcement, as far as possible, should always be the prime conservative concern for a dental practitioner, than vigorous replacement of the missing teeth, as Muller De Van rightly quoted. Endodontic treatment often yields up sparse amount of tooth structure, with inadequate coronal bulk, when the carious invasion is extensive; thereby making the extra coronal coverage with a full contour crown, a challenging task for the prosthodontist for its rehabilitation. Hereby we have reported a case of a 26 years old male patient having undergone endodontic treatment in grossly decayed mandibular left first molar, and later on rehabilitated with an “Endocrown” by surpassing its limitation of inadequate crown height to maximal level of efficacy.
