Three-Year Follow Up of Customized Glass Fiber Esthetic Posts

Abstract

Customized glass fiber posts that is well adjusted into the root canal and have mechanical properties similar to those of dentin may be a suitable treatment for severely compromised endodontically treated teeth. This article reports a 3-year follow up of severely damaged endodontically treated teeth restored with unidirectional fiber glass customized post and core system instead of a conventional fiber post. The fabrication of this glass fiber customized post is a simple technique, providing an increased volume of fibers into the root canal, and an adequate polymerization of the post-core system. Over a three-year period, the treatments demonstrated good clinical and radiographic characteristics, with no fracture or loss of the post and/or crown. This technique can be considered effective, less invasive, and suitable for restore endodontically treated teeth.

Stress distribution of endodontically treated teeth with titanium alloy post and carbon fiber post with different alveolar bone height: A three-dimensional finite element analysis

“…[ 31 ] The use of unidirectional glass fibers customized post, modeling the internal anatomy of the root canal can be considered effective, less invasive, and suitable for restore endodontically treated teeth. [ 32 ] In this study Panavia F, (Kuraray America, Inc.) was chosen for postcementation, which has a modulus of elasticity of 18.3, which was almost similar to the dentin [ Table 1 ].…”

Travel beyond Clinical Uses of Fiber Reinforced Composites (FRCs) in Dentistry: A Review of Past Employments, Present Applications, and Future Perspectives

“…In endodontic clinical practice, the use of FRCs is mainly reported as root canal anchoring system. Studies evaluated both prefabricated and individualized FRC posts [ 16 , 41 – 43 ]. Root canal walls restored with individually formed FRC posts displayed higher fracture resistance than those restored with only resin composite [ 44 – 46 ].…”

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth: contemporary concepts and future perspectives

“…It is a polyethylene woven fiber ribbon that is coated with a dentin bonding agent and packed in the canal, where it is then light polymerized into position . Another proposed material is a customized glass‐fiber post . Costa et al compared the root fracture strength of single‐rooted premolars restored with GFR posts to the ones restored with customized GFR posts.…”
