Fiber Application
Fibre post-application is used in cases where there is irreversible damage to the teeth, in prosthetic dental treatments, in caries or teeth with material loss that cannot be repaired with a dental filling, and in cases where the jawbone is insufficient.
The treatment, also called post-core, is used according to the extent of damage to the patient’s teeth
When is fiber application done?
If there isn’t too much material loss on the tooth to which root canal treatment is applied and if there is normal filling, too much material loss, it is required to apply inlay and onlay treatments to avoid dental fractures. If you have no dental wall remaining but if roots are strong, it is required to realize crown veneer by making a “post” by getting support from the root canal.
What are the varieties of fiber applications?
- Cast post.
- Screwed post.
- Fiber posts are the types of posts being used.
Why is fiber post preferred?
- The risk of fracturing is low.
- Tooth gets pasted both mechanically and chemically.
- As there is no metal reflection under full ceramic restorations, an aesthetic appearance is attained.
