A 47-year-old female patient presented with a structurally compromised maxillary left second premolar (tooth 25) following completed endodontic treatment. Due to the significant loss of coronal tooth structure, a post-endodontic restoration was indicated to ensure long-term stability and retention of the final restoration.
After root canal therapy, the canal was carefully prepared and an Overpost was placed using OverCEM Self-Adhesive Cement. The post was positioned with respect to the remaining tooth structure, aiming to preserve dentin and optimize stress distribution within the root.
Why Overpost and OverCEM?
Overpost was selected because its design and material properties provide excellent adaptation to the root canal anatomy and favorable stress distribution, reducing the risk of root fracture. Compared to traditional metal posts or other post systems, Overpost offers superior biomechanical behavior and better compatibility with adhesive techniques.
OverCEM Self-Adhesive Cement was chosen for its reliable bond strength, simplified clinical protocol, and reduced technique sensitivity, ensuring a predictable and efficient post cementation.
Conclusions
This approach allows a minimally invasive, durable, and biologically respectful post-endodontic restoration, creating a solid foundation for the final coronal rehabilitation.
