Adequate reconstruction of endodontically treated teeth with severe loss of dentine tissue is one of the challenges of Restorative Dentistry. None of the commercially available pre-fabricated intraradicular posts meets all ideal biological and mechanical properties.

This article presents, through a clinical case, important details for the execution of the technique.
