Clinical application of an adhesively bonded fiber post and Resilon

Traditionally, caring for endodontically treated teeth has represented a challenge in restorative dentistry. These teeth can experience apical or coronal leakage, root fractures, and various other complications that predispose the treated canal for reinfection and eventual failure. Thus, as such teeth will subsequently receive restorative care, representing a greater cost and effort for both dental patient and professional, it is imperative that the canal be stabilized through a diligent endodontic procedure. This article demonstrates the application of an adhesively bonded fiber post and a synthetic, polymeric root-filling material (Resilon) for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth.
