“…However, when appropriate devices and techniques are selected, it is possible to remove the posts successfully (Abbott, 2002). In recent years, fiber posts have become the most commonly used posts (Ahmed, Donovan, & Ghuman, 2017). The fiber posts are chemically bonded to the dentin by a monoblock structure.…”

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the efficacies of two different fiber post‐removal systems. Thirty extracted single‐rooted mandibular premolar teeth were used. After RelyX fiber posts were cemented, the teeth were divided into two groups with regard to the post removal techniques: ultrasonic vibration and D.T. Light‐Post removal kit. Residual material, tooth volume changes, working time and micro‐crack formation were assessed using micro‐computed tomography. All data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed‐rank and Mann–Whitney U tests. There was significantly more tooth root volume change in the ultrasonic group than removal kit group (p < .05). Fiber post removal time for the ultrasonic group was significantly longer than the removal kit group (p < .01).

“…The presence of fibre posts within the root canal constitutes one such obstacle. Fibre posts are increasingly adopted for their elasticity modulus, which is similar to that of dentin, and for their optical qualities . However, in cases of retreatment, the intrinsic adherence among the fibre post, composite and root walls requires fragmentation of the post within an anatomic area that is difficult to access visually.…”

This paper demonstrates the usefulness of endodontic guides for the removal of fibre posts. A 36-year-old man consulted for retreatment of a maxillary first molar presenting a periapical pathology. This tooth revealed a composite reconstruction together with a glass-fibre post in the palatal root canal. To assist removal, use of an endodontic 3D-printed guide was indicated. A cone beam computed tomography examination and an optical impression were made to produce a tooth-supported guide by means of implant planning software (Blue Sky Plan, Blue Sky Bio ® ). The software enabled definition of a drilling pathway, which was transferred clinically using a resin template together with a sleeve and a 0.75-mm drill. The drill was guided as far as the gutta-percha situated in the apical third, limiting any risk of impairment or perforation.

“…Metal posts in most cases can be removed using ultrasonic vibration which breaks down the surrounding cement and allows for safe post removal . Over the last decade, fibre posts have gained popularity and are the most frequently used types of posts . These prefabricated posts consist of longitudinally orientated fibres (e.g.…”

This study evaluates the effectiveness of different techniques to remove fibre posts from root filled teeth in vitro. One hundred and fifty-three extracted single-rooted teeth were decoronated, root-canal treated and divided into three groups (n = 51). Post spaces were prepared for different types of fibre posts: glass fibre, quartz fibre, carbon fibre. Each group was divided into three subgroups with regard to the post removal technique (n = 17): SonicFlex Endo, long-shaft round bur, DT-Post removal kit. Residual material, loss of dentine, working time and procedural errors were assessed using computed tomography. Statistical analysis was performed with a one-way anova (α = 0.05). The highest effectiveness was achieved with the sonic tip and the round bur. A high prevalence of perforations or severe deviations from the root axis was observed for all groups. No technique presented favourable results in all assessed parameters. There is a high risk of perforations.
