Abstract:
During post crown restoration, the preparation of
the post canal can be fraught with difficulties
resulting in widening, gouging and transportation of
the post canal; sometimes with near root perforation.
A technique is described to repair such iatrogenically
damaged internal root canal walls using reinforcing
resin composite and optic glass fibre posts. The root
dentine, resin composite and glass fibres, having
similar moduli of elasticity, will result in a repaired
root with a ‘monolithic’ structure and possessing
numerous desirable characteristics. This repair
technique can easily be carried out in one sitting at
the chairside thereby allowing the continued
serviceability of the iatrogenically compromised
root-filled tooth.
