Abstract

Endodontically treated teeth often exhibit severe coronal structure loss. Given the reversibility and tissue conservation of adhesive procedures, a conservative approach using an indirect resin crown with an adhesively cemented custom fiber-reinforced composite resin post provided a predictable and esthetic solution. The 24-hour and 3-year follow-ups of this technique showed good function, marginal adaptation, and esthetics.
