case_images: Supreme Ultra Flowable Restorative flowable composite is used to fill the root canal space. Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative nano-filled composite was used to build up the coronal part in incremental technique (Figures 9 and 10). Strip or polycarbonate crown can be used alternatively for the crown portion.
