Introduction: Endoperiodontal lesions are complex inflammatory conditions that simultaneously affect pulp and periodontal tissues, and are usually caused by infections of bacterial origin. Objectives: To report a clinical case of immediate and esthetic provisional rehabilitation using the natural crown of the extracted tooth itself as a viable and affordable restorative alternative after extraction due to endoperiodontal involvement. Case Description: The case was treated at a Family Health Unit (USF) in a city in northern Minas Gerais and involved a young patient with severe bone loss in tooth number 21. After clinical and radiographic diagnosis of endoperiodontal lesion with unfavorable prognosis, tooth extraction was indicated. The natural crown was carefully prepared, with removal of pulp content, filling with composite resin and fixation with orthodontic wire and splinting to neighboring teeth, promoting stability and immediate esthetics. Conclusion: The result demonstrated clinical success and satisfaction on the part of the patient, evidencing that the technique can be an efficient alternative in environments with limited resources, such as in Primary Health Care.
