Abstract

The marked advances made in restorative materials have allowed dentists to explore new techniques in restoring teeth. This paper describes a method of restoring extensively damaged endodontically treated teeth that are using the LightPost system and composite resin to build-up the broken crown directly. The treatment was completed in a single visit. Applying this direct technique in selected cases can simplify treatment planning and result in an acceptable restoration with pleasing aesthetics.
