Abstract

Restoration of mutilated teeth is always a challenge in dentistry, especially when coronal structure is inadequate to provide resistance and retention form. The remaining tooth structure must be restored meticulously as it acts as a foundation for the renovation and influences the overall strength of the restored tooth. The classical approach for successful management of such arduous cases would be the utilization of post and core after endodontic therapy with subsequent placement of a full-coverage crown. This case report presents the rehabilitation of badly mutilated mandibular molar using custom-made cast post and core.
