Abstract
Esthetic management of anterior broken teeth acts as a challenge to the clinician. Broken teeth treated endodontically are quite weak and are prone to fracture due to excessive loss of sound tooth structure. Posts are indicated in endodontically treated teeth which serve as a strength to the insufficient tooth structure. This article describes the esthetic rehabilitation of broken anterior teeth using cast post and core.
