Abstract
This case highlights where a metal endocrown was used as a novel technique. The metal endocrown showed promising outcomes during the 5-year follow-up, utilizing a resin base to preserve tissue and act as a stress breaker. This approach was used to preserve the tooth and avoid extraction or periodontal surgery.
