Clinical considerations for the use of fibre-reinforced root posts and composite core in the restoration of a tooth that has undergone endodontic treatment
 

Since they were introduced in the early 1990s, the use of glass fibre-reinforced root posts has increased significantly. The concept of the composite fibre post is based on its individually shaped core build-up, its adhesive forces, its stiffness similar to dentine and its composite medium that embeds the fibre post. The patient came to our clinic with pain in tooth 25. After taking X-rays and completing a clinical examination, we found root caries, which had caused painful pulpitis.

Restoration of an endodontically treated first molar in the upper jaw
 

Too many dentists don’t use posts, even in cases where doing so would be indicated. This may be due in part to the additional time required. This case study demonstrates how an adhesively placed post and core build-up can be used with minimum time requirements for the dentist.

A 45-year-old male patient presents with an all-ceramic onlay on tooth 24. Several years after the onlay was inserted, the tooth requires endodontic treatment. At present, the onlay is weakening at the edges and the ceramic is showing signs of cracking. The treatment plan involves inserting a post and core build-up, followed by a lithium disilicate crown.
