A combined post, core, and endodontic endosseous implant. Case report

Area of Science:

• Dental materials science
• Endodontics
• Prosthodontics

Background:

• Mobile teeth present a challenge in restorative dentistry.
• Stabilizing short, mobile roots is crucial for successful crown placement.
• Endodontic post and core systems are commonly used for tooth restoration.

Observation:

• A hyperextended chrome-cobalt post and core was utilized.
• This post and core also functioned as an endodontic endosseous implant.
• The primary goal was to stabilize a short, mobile root.

Findings:

• The chrome-cobalt post and core successfully stabilized the mobile root.
• It provided a stable foundation for the placement of a porcelain veneer metal crown.
• The technique is straightforward and does not demand specialized instrumentation.

Implications:

• This method offers a viable solution for managing short, mobile roots in endodontic therapy.
• It simplifies the restorative process, potentially reducing chair time and costs.
• The use of chrome-cobalt alloys ensures durability and biocompatibility for long-term stability.
