Rehabilitation of Traumatised Maxillary Anterior Teeth in Children Using Endocrown: A Case Series

Trauma to the anterior teeth has a great impact on the societal and psychosomatic well-being of an individual. Restoring such teeth with a minimally invasive approach is of utmost importance. Endocrown is a monolithic ceramic bonded structure that can be made at dental laboratories for the maintenance of tooth structures. This alternative for endodontically treated teeth turns out to be a viable option in restoring traumatic tooth structures. The steps in its preparation are easy and conservative when compared to conventional crowns with post and core. This article emphasizes two different cases of traumatic anterior teeth in children, successfully dealt with by means of endocrowns fabricated with composite and lithium disilicate prostheses with a 10-month follow-up period.
