Abstract

In this era of material science advancement, newer techniques and materials have been formulated for the rehabilitation of grossly destructed teeth. These have helped overcome the disadvantages of the traditional methods. Two clinical case reports of restoring form and function using these novel techniques and materials are presented here. In the first case an anatomic post was fabricated in a wide and flared root canal. In the second case a novel material from GC, Ever Stick Post was used to reinforce the tooth and adapt to the anatomy of the canal. Both these techniques can be used as alternatives to conventional methods of rehabilitation.
