Prosthodontic Management of Endodontically Treated Tooth using DMLS Metal Ceramic Restoration: A Case Report
摘要
Failures in endodontic treatment often stem from inadequate sealing of the tooth's crown or from improper crown restorations. Over time, this adversely affects the dental outlook. DMLS metal ceramic, a widely employed restorative material known for its exceptional mechanical qualities, is commonly used. A 25-year-old female patient raised concerns about a raised area in the lower left back tooth region. While an initial restoration was attempted, it frequently became detached. Urgent action was required to provide the patient with a more enduring solution. The endodontic procedure was successfully executed in a single session, with a direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technique of metal-ceramic restorations chosen as the permanent restorative option. The utilization of direct metal laser sintering metal-ceramic crown restorations on first molar after endodontic therapy yields aesthetically pleasing and encouraging outcomes. DMLS is an additive manufacturing technology used for fabricating metal parts. It involves using a high-powered laser to selectively fuse metal powder particles together, layer by layer, to create three-dimensional objects. The process occurs within a controlled environment, typically in an inert gas atmosphere, to prevent oxidation of the metal. The purpose of this case report is to detail the approach to overseeing DMLS PFM crown restorations on first molar following endodontic treatment.
