Abstract : Fractures of abutment teeth under fixed prostheses pose a major prosthetic challenge, particularly when full reconstruction is contraindicated or refused by the patient. This paper shows a clinical case study of the fabrication and adaptation of two metallic inlaycores on teeth 21 and 12, designed to support a pre-existing anterior metal ceramic bridge. Thanks to a precise impression of the intaglio surface of the prosthesis and rigorous laboratory fitting, it was possible to reconstruct the endodontically treated abutments without removing or replacing the bridge. This conservative approach demonstrates the importance of conservative management solutions for prosthetic complications that may occur while or after achieving the prosthetic treatment, ensuring long-lasting functional and esthetic. restoration.
