Abstract

Anterior tooth fracture as a result of traumatic injuries, is frequently encountered in endodontic practice. Proper reconstruction of extensively damaged teeth can be achieved through the fragment reattachment procedure known as "biological restoration." This case report refers to the esthetics and functional recovery of extensively damaged maxillary central incisor through the preparation and adhesive cementation of "biological post" in a young patient. Biological post obtained through extracted teeth from another individual-represent a low-cost option and alternative technique for the morphofunctional recovery of extensively damaged anterior teeth.

Keywords: Dual cure; dentin post; intraradicular post; monoblock.
