Article Main Content

The compromised tooth structure after endodontic treatment necessitates the use of post and core for structural durability. Management of the flared root canal is still a tough obstacle for the clinicians. Reinforcing the root canal space with the customised anatomic post thus regains the lost structure within the canal and aids in establishing a great strength and stability to the tooth structure. The report of this case scenario aims on clinical technique of fabricating anatomic post with glass - fibre posts and composite resin on a central and lateral incisor.

Keywords: anatomic post, canal rehabilitation, flared root canal, pre-fabricated post, resin composite
