Endodontic Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of an Over Erupted and Protruded Anterior Tooth

Background: Recent trends put esthetic rehabilitation as a demanding treatment in order to correct malpositioned anterior dentition. This is enhanced by the patient’s background, especially careers that require prime appearance for the public. Esthetic and functional rehabilitation can be done successfully on such case by various treatment approaches. Orthodontic therapy is the most conservative treatment option for such cases but the patient rejected it due to various reasons like long treatment time, financial constraints, and appearance during the therapy, and relapse after the treatment. Alternatively, endodontic approach combined with the prosthodontics provides a quick, reliable and economic treatment option with no chances of relapse. Purpose: To describe that even though there are many treatment alternatives and procedures, esthetic rehabilitation on overerupted and protruded anterior dentition using endodontic treatment, cast posts and all ceramic crowns, can improve patient’s appearance. Case: This article presents a case report on esthetic rehabilitation of over erupted and protruded anterior tooth #11. Treatment was done due to patient’s refusal in receiving orthodontic treatment. The patient requested esthetic rehabilitation as an expectation for faster and instant esthetic result. Case management: Endodontic treatment was done to the involved dentition prior to the final restoration. Cast posts and porcelain fused to metal crown was used as final restoration to correct the overerupted and protruded anterior tooth. Conclusion: Esthetic rehabilitation can be done successfully on overerupted and protruded anterior dentition. Instant result could be achieved by this treatment. This is supported by the fact that dentists should be aware of not only choosing the right treatment and materials but also patient’s expectations and conditions.
