title: One-appointment composite crown: an alternative to conventional crown and bridge.
abstract: When presented with little coronal tooth structure remaining, four options exist: (1) extraction only, (2) extraction and restoration, (3) root canal therapy and a cast restoration (which may involve crown lengthening and/or orthodontic extrusion), or (4) root canal therapy and a composite/amalgam crown. A technique for the composite crown option is described with case presentations.
