A 50 year old male patient reported with an asymptomatic, previously endodontically treated and underfilled 47 with no coronal seal present. Endodontic retreatment was carried out with gutta percha solvents, hand and rotary endodontics along with adequate irrigation. As the tooth had thin walls with less remaining dentin, coronal portion of root canals were prepared and restored with silver amalgam along with the rest of the tooth. Crown preparation was done and a porcelain fused to metal crown was placed.
