A severely damaged premolar tooth restored with coronal pulpotomy and a 3D-printed endocrown.

Advances in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies and adhesives have enabled the use of endocrowns as an effective and conservative treatment option for restoring endodontically treated teeth in pediatric populations. Thus, this case report presents the treatment of a severely damaged premolar tooth with coronal pulpotomy and a 3D-printed endocrown restoration. A 13-year-old patient with pain due to profound caries in the left maxillary second premolar tooth was referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Gazi University in Ankara, Türkiye. Deep dentinal caries and severe tissue loss were revealed in the clinical examination. No periradicular lesions were detected in a radiographic examination, and there was no inflammation in the pulp. The selected intervention was a two-step process involving a coronal pulpotomy followed by a custom 3D-printed endocrown restoration. No clinical complications or radiographic pathologies were observed over a two-year follow-up period, and the patient was satisfied with the final esthetics and function of the restoration. 3D-printing technology can be successfully integrated into pediatric restorative dentistry and offers a conservative, efficient, and esthetically pleasing treatment option for children with severely damaged dentition.
