Fiber Glass Post

Intracanal reinforcement that provides greater resistance and longevity for primary teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment.

Who is it for

Recommended for children who have:

• Primary teeth with completed root canal treatment
• Significant loss of tooth structure after caries removal
• Need for reinforcement to support extensive restoration
• Anterior teeth requiring aesthetic function maintenance

How it works

The post installation procedure follows these steps:

1. Radiographic evaluation: Verification of endodontic treatment quality
2. Canal preparation: Cleaning and preparation of intracanal space
3. Post selection: Selection of fiber post with appropriate diameter
4. Cementation: Post fixation with resin cement
5. Reconstruction: Restoration of tooth's coronal portion

The entire procedure is performed with precision and care.

Comfort and safety

We prioritize comfort and safety at every stage:

• Biocompatible material: Fiber glass with properties similar to dentin
• Minimally invasive procedure: Maximum preservation of tooth structure
• Appropriate anesthesia: Ensuring painless procedure
• Aesthetic result: Translucent material maintaining natural appearance
• High resistance: Adequate support for extensive restorations

Frequently asked questions

Why use fiber post instead of metal post?

Fiber posts have mechanical properties closer to dentin, reducing risk of root fractures. Additionally, they are aesthetic and don't cause staining or color changes in the tooth.

Does the procedure hurt?

No. The procedure is performed under appropriate local anesthesia, ensuring complete comfort for the child.

How long does the fiber post last?

The post remains in the tooth until its natural exfoliation, typically 2 to 5 years, depending on the child's age and tooth location.

Is special care needed after placement?

Care is the same as regular oral hygiene. It's important to avoid trauma and very hard foods that could compromise the restoration.
