Unlabelled:
Restoring endodontically-treated teeth using adhesively cemented fibre posts is becoming popular in general practice. Clinical studies have been promising, however failures can occur, usually because of de-bonding of the post. Current research, aimed at identifying factors that could improve the adhesion of fibre posts, is described.
Clinical Relevance:
Adhesively-retained fibre posts are becoming a popular choice for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Dental practitioners should be knowledgeable on the rationale behind these restorations, factors that can lead to failure, and ongoing developments.
