What is the most appropriate treatment?
Maxillary incisor with a composite veneer and prior root canal therapy; radiograph shows extensive resin and loss of tooth structure.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Core build-up plus crown
Heavily destroyed, endodontically treated teeth need core build-up before crown placement to restore form and retention.
- A. With this much lost structure and endodontic treatment, a crown alone lacks adequate ferrule/support.
- B. Correct. An endodontically treated tooth with major structure loss needs a core build-up (with post if needed) to support a definitive crown.
