Kiranjyoth Kaur, Rupam Kaur, Rajesh Khanna

Endodontic implants have an advantage of totally intraosseous without communicating with the oral cavity and have the additional advantage of maintaining the periodontal membrane attachment of the remaining tooth. With proper case selection, it has shown long term success. Endodontic implants and their contemporary use are quite limited in modern dentistry because of the advances in implant technology and techniques. Extraction and subsequent replacement with osseointegrated implants should only be considered after all other means of retaining the natural tooth have been fully explored. A case report is present with custom made endodontic implant for retaining the maxillary central incisor with improper crown-root ratio. Keywords: Endodontic implant, osseointegrated implants.
