Abstract
Ensuring the esthetics and functional longevity of endodontically treated posterior teeth can present dentists with complex challenges that, to date, have been addressed using various therapeutic alternatives. The best combination of materials for restoring endodontically treated premolars is an indirect anatomical fiber-reinforced post and a dual-cure cement with a self-etching adhesive. For cases in which there is a substantial loss of tooth structure, full-coverage composite crowns have been indicated as long-lasting restorations. This article details a conservative, step-by-step technique for rehabilitating an endodontically treated premolar with wide root canals, using an indirect method for creating an anatomical fiber-reinforced composite post in combination with a full-coverage composite resin crown restoration.
