Endodontic failures, often attributed to persistent microbial infections and inadequate restorations, pose challenges in preserving natural dentition. This case report presents the inter-disciplinary management of a severely compromised maxillary left central incisor in a 33-year-old female. The tooth, previously subjected to inadequate endodontic treatment, presented with fracture, pus discharge, and persistent apical periodontitis.The multifaceted treatment approach included: endodontic retreatment utilizing metronidazole and calcium hydroxide as intracanal medicaments to combat persistent infection; laser-assisted crown lengthening to establish a 2 mm ferrule, enhancing structural integrity; and restoration with a custom-cast post core, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crown. The post space preparation preserved 5 mm of apical gutta-percha to maintain the apical seal. At the 6-month follow-up, the tooth remained asymptomatic with satisfactory function and aesthetics. This case underscores the potential for salvaging structurally compromised, endodontically challenged teeth through a synergy of advanced techniques. It highlights the importance of thorough disinfection, an adequate ferrule, and well-adapted restorations for endodontic success. It advocates for patient-centered care that prioritizes natural tooth preservation over implant. This report contributes to the evolving paradigm of endodontic outcome assessment, emphasizes the need for a holistic understanding of tooth biomechanics, microbiology, and restorative principles.
