Abstract

Dislodgement of crown is not uncommon in routine clinical practice. Inadequate support for the core is the most common reason for such failures. With the advent of fibre posts and resin cements, core build up has become more effective. But sin certain conditions with severe deep bite, supra-eruption and mutilation, cast metal dowel core offer greater advantage compared to non-metallic posts and composite core. This paper presents two case reports in which modified cast dowel cores were used to restore severely mutilated teeth one with a buccal defect and other with severe deep bite and supra-eruption.
