Abstract

Full crown is the most appropriate restoration of endodontically treated tooth with extensive loss of dental structure. A proper crown requires accurately impression and precision by virtual digital intra-oral scanner technique to get patient satisfaction. An all-ceramic crown (e-max) provides excellent aesthetics that is indicated for restoring anterior teeth. This case report discussed restoration of endodontically treated left-upper lateral incisor. In the examination, there was loss of half coronal dental structure. The radiograph presents radiopaque images through the hermetical root canal. A fibre post was cemented with dual cure resin cement, and then core was created. Virtual impression performed with a digital intraoral scanner aimed to acquire tooth preparation accurately. Furthermore, e-max crown was performed and cemented with dual cure resin cement. Anterior teeth with extensive loss of coronal tooth structures required crown aesthetics restoration (e-max) with a fiber post to increase retention and resistance. Virtual impression with a digital intraoral scanner was more effective to precisely and accurately record tooth preparation than conventional impression techniques. E-max restoration of endodontically treated left-upper lateral incisor with a digital intra-oral scanner results in excellent dental aesthetics and patient satisfaction.
