title: Reconstruction of anterior teeth using an aesthetic post-and-core and all-ceramic material.
abstract: Ceramic post-and-core systems offer biocompatibility, aesthetics, reinforcement of the remnant root, and prosthesis retention. Aesthetic posts-and-cores contribute to the optical properties of the overlying restorations when metal-free crowns are used. This article illustrates the use of these materials to provide strength and aesthetics during the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. The case presentation detailed herein demonstrates the rehabilitation of anterior dentition following substantial structural loss and exhibits the biomechanical treatment of these structures using contemporary restorative materials.
