title: Retrofitting an esthetic post and core to salvage a six-unit fixed partial denture.
abstract: Teeth restored with post and core restorations present a clinical dilemma if they fracture. An individual with a maxillary anterior six-unit fixed partial denture had one of the canine abutment teeth fracture. The other abutment debonded and the post separated from the core. The fixed partial denture was salvaged by retrofitting a porcelain-fused-to-metal post and core restoration in the fractured abutment.
