Intra-radicular rehabilitation is a procedure in which the root canals with very little remaining dentin thickness are strengthened by the use of such material that bonds and reinforces the root structure. In this case report, intra radicular rehabilitation with the use of seventh generation bonding agent and flowable composite is described and discussed as a treatment approach for the restoration of a thin fragile root. The procedure provides for an extended clinical application of the all-in-one bonding agent resulting in conservative, reliable treatment approach for the treatment of compromised root canals due to variety of reasons
