Abstract:
The restoration of endodontically treated teeth is still a challenge to the general dentist. Extensive caries or traumatic fracture may result in insufficient coronal tooth structure remaining to support a core. The introduction of fiber post systems in the 1990s has provided dentists with new options for the restoration of the pulpless tooth. This clinical article demonstrates the use of a fiber post and a composite buildup material.
