Abstract

Trauma and decay are often associated with an extensive loss of tooth structure, requiring a
restoration for aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of the tooth. Often caries leads to loss of
tooth structure and vitality of the pulp. Endodontic treatment is necessary in such cases.
Adequate anchorage for restoration cannot be achieved if a significant amount of coronal section
of the tooth is lost i.e. when only one wall or no wall is remaining. To increase the retention of
the restoration post and core treatment is required.
