Abstract: Endodontic retreatment, when properly indicated, allows the maintenance of dental elements. The successful treatment of teeth with substantial damage to the tooth structure not only depends on good endodontic treatment, but also on prompt post endododontic restoration of the tooth after the completion of the same. The evolution of endodontic techniques and materials has reduced the indication of surgical procedures even for teeth with intracanal posts. When a large amount of tooth structure is lost or if an insufficient ferrule is present, a custom cast post and core is indicated.
