Coronoradicular rehabilitation with CAD-CAM fabricated all ceramic post-core and full coverage restoration - A case report

Abstract

The long successful history of Cast metal post-core systems is due to their superior physical properties. However, the high elastic modulus of metal can cause stress concentrations within the radicular dentin, leading to root fractures. Increased awareness for more esthetic restorations has led to the development of tooth-coloured, translucent, metal-free post-core systems. Notably, the introduction of Zirconia ceramic post and core systems satisfies this trend of a heightened awareness of esthetics, wherein the translucency of all-ceramic crowns is not hampered giving lifelike esthetics. Here, presented is a case report wherein an endodontically treated anterior tooth with loss of crown structure has been rehabilitated using a zirconia post and an all ceramic full coverage restoration. Keywords: Coronoradicular, CAD-CAM.
