ABSTRACT

Objectives: An endodontically treated tooth always poses a challenge for dentists while reconstruction using the post and core system. The objectives of this article are to describe the various properties of fiber-reinforced composite resins with an exploration of their failure causes. Methods: This paper describes the clinical steps involved in reconstruction of maxillary anterior teeth. Endodontic treatment was performed first, followed by the placement of a fiber-reinforced resin post. The crown was then reconstructed with a composite restoration. Result: a clinical and radiological follow-up was performed, showing the success of the reconstruction. Conclusion: Fiber posts have excellent properties, including elasticity, translucency, adaptability, tenacity, and resistance to traction and impact. They are also easy to apply, making them a viable alternative to traditional materials.
