Case report: A 20-year-old male patient came to the dental clinic of CEUNI - FAMETRO complaining of dissatisfaction with his broken tooth after a sports collision. Intraoral clinical examination revealed a large coronary loss below the gingival level in element 15, leaving only the buccal and lingual faces. In the initial radiographic examination, it was verified the presence of an endodontic treatment already performed, but endodontic retreatment was necessary, due to exposure and contamination of the filling material. The treatment plan proposed to the patient consisted of rehabilitation with an intraradicular retainer and then the cementation of a ceramic crown. Conclusion: The study concluded that the rehabilitation with the use of an intraradicular retainer, the fiberglass pin and the metal-free ceramic crown also obtained good results. Thus, it was observed that these materials were able to return the functionality of the tooth, oral health and aesthetics with a natural aspect to the element, the patient reported that he was very satisfied with the final result of his treatment.
