Abstract:
Restoration of badly broken endodontically treated teeth is a common problem in restorative
dentistry. Such teeth often require additional support from the root canal by means of a post and
core restoration. In cases where tooth structure is significantly lost full coverage restorations for
posterior teeth are necessary to achieve proper tooth form and function. Badly broken teeth with
minimal or no crown structure require addition retention and support. The Richmond crown can
be a good treatment modality for restoration of such teeth. This case report shows prosthetic
restoration of badly broken posterior teeth with Richmond crown.
Key Words: Richmond crown, dowel and core, endodontically treated, badly broken teeth.
