Example of Fiber resin core treatment I (cracked tooth root)

The patient sought a second opinion about a cracked root. The cracked root was clearly seen after removing a metal core (lower part of the root is shown in the photograph). Fortunately the crack had not extended to the tip of the root, and we were able to insert a fiber resin core.

The second photograph shows the tooth after the fiber-resin core had been inserted. The core was bonded to the tooth to prevent further cracking. Also, crown lengthening was performed to reposition the gum line. Then the tooth was sustained with a crown.
