Post endodontic restoration in cases of grossly destructed teeth are difficult as the available tooth structure is less, margins are subgingival and of compromised prognosis because the restoration might encroach upon the periodontium affecting its status to deteriorate. Interdisciplinary approach using forced eruption or Orthodontic extrusion along with minimal surgical crown lengthening can give adequate supragingival tooth surface for proper restoration and protect its root support from getting violated. This is the case report of an unsalvageable tooth that is restored to satisfactory functional and esthetic restoration utilizing interdisciplinary approach.
