This case report describes the clinical procedures for salvaging a serviceable fixed partial denture (FPD) that deteriorated because of cement dissolution beneath the distal retainer. After removal of the FPD it was noticed that the "core reconstruction" was dislodged (the prefabricated post remained in the canal and required removal). A two-stage casting procedure that differed from reported techniques was customized to fit a cast post and core to the prepared root canal and retainer. The FPD was recemented and has been functioning satisfactorily for over 3 years.
