The patient has a systemic history and is carrier of a mitral valve prosthesis, so she consumed anticoagulant treatment for 30 years. Aims to preserve the root of 42, a tame the rest of the Crown of the tooth and a bridge of composite reinforced with post of fiberglass as main structural base were performed. With this clinical case it could be demonstrated that there are alternatives of urgent restorative treatments which can immediately restore a functional occlusion.
