Pinned down

So what happens when you break a tooth and half is gone and you need a quick fix because you've got a big dinner date later tonite?
Well that is what i was up against today.
A long time patient broke a tooth and needed a quick fix...here is the broken tooth

Now you just can't put a filling into this tooth and even with modern dentistry's miracle bonding agents we still need some old fashioned help...and for that we turn to small pins...so i drilled two pin holes into the teeth in the area where the tooth broke as you can see here...

Into those pinholes I can now place/screw two titanium pins around which I can rebuild the tooth.
