Highlights

Ideal coronal reconstruction of endodontically treated tooth is still a challenge for restorative dentistry
Anterior tooth trauma often results in functional, esthetics, psychological problems and reducing patient’s quality of life
The use of biological posts made from natural, extracted teeth represents a feasible option for the strengthening of the root canal, presenting the potential advantages: 1. Does not promote dentin stress, 2

Summary

Introduction

Ideal coronal reconstruction of endodontically treated tooth is still a challenge for restorative dentistry. This case report addresses the esthetic and functional restoration of a fractured, endodontically treated maxillary left central incisor in a young patient, through the preparation and adhesive cementation of a ―Biological Post‖ made from a freshly extracted, intact human canine. A proper coronary reconstruction that produces satisfactory esthetic and functional conditions for endodontically treated and extensively damaged teeth is still a challenge for restorative dentistry, considering that, to achieve these conditions, the making of an intracanal retention, aimed at a better retention and stability of the dental fragments, becomes imperative.
