Case report demonstrates effective restoration of fractured maxillary incisor using fiber post and zirconia crown, suggesting a reliable approach for similar cases.
Introduction Rehabilitation of endodontically treated anterior teeth presents a clinical challenge that requires a careful balance between esthetics, function, and biomechanical stability. This case report describes a conservative, prosthetically driven approach using a prefabricated fiber post and a zirconia crown for the restoration of a fractured maxillary lateral incisor. Case Presentation A 34-year-old female patient presented with a traumatically fractured maxillary lateral incisor (22). Following endodontic therapy, a prefabricated fiber-reinforced post was cemented with dual-cure resin cement, followed by composite core build-up and restoration with a translucent zirconia crown. The treatment successfully restored tooth form, function, and esthetics with satisfactory shade matching and patient acceptance. Conclusion The combined use of fiber-reinforced posts and zirconia crowns offers a conservative, reliable, and esthetically favorable solution for anterior tooth rehabilitation. Their dentin-like elastic properties and optical compatibility make them suitable for long-term functional and cosmetic success.
