This case report describes the successful management of complicated crown fracture of left maxillary central incisor (#21) of 23-year-old male using dentin (biological) post made from human kt196 torque converter tooth.Endodontic treatment was initiated and sectional obturation was done using ProTaper gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer.The coronal space was modified to receive a human dentin post.A two-step procedure comprising direct and indirect technique of post fabrication was done to achieve the accuracy of biological post.A maxillary cuspid from an institutional tooth bank was taken, sectioned mesiodistally using a diamond disc simulating the length and thickness of mock post.

Dentin post was first verified on the plaster model and then cemented in tooth #21.Core build up was done with composite and porcelain mel axolotl fused to metal (PFM) crown was luted.On the follow-up visits, patient was asymptomatic and radiographic evaluation revealed normal periradicular architecture.Biological posts may be good alternatives to conventional post systems as they preserve internal dentin walls, provide excellent adhesion, and resilience similar to natural tooth structure.
