Adaptable fiberglass post after 3D guided endodontic treatment: Novel approaches in restorative dentistry.

Objective: The rehabilitation of extensively damaged teeth with great structural loss and calcified root canals represents a challenge for dentistry. Classically, this restorative procedure of endodontically treated teeth involves intraradicular post placement. Retentive function post that can closely adapt to the root canal without the excessive wear of intraradicular dentin has a fundamental importance to ensure the longevity of the restoration.

Clinical Considerations: This report presents a clinical case of 3D guided access to a severely calcified pulp canal followed by the cementation of a fiberglass post that is adaptable to the root canal and prosthetic rehabilitation with full ceramic crown.

Conclusions: 3D guided access allowed conservative and safe root canal treatment. The adaptable fiberglass post meets the specific needs of the described case and has a simple technique and low cost.

Clinical Significance: Guided endodontics is a minimally invasive approach for teeth with calcified root canals. The post used in this study meets the demands of teeth endodontically treated with conservative techniques. The professional should not need to adapt the anatomy of the root canal to the anatomical reality of the post. This one adapts itself to the shape of the canal.
