Fiber post procedure
Fiber post procedures which are commonly known as root canals, are being used for repairing damaged or rotten teeth by placing a screw-like material called post that is made out of fibers. As post procedures in dentistry have been evolving with technology, fiber posts have become the best post procedure option as they provide superior adaptation to the canal, minimize the removal of dentin and keep the resin cement layer to the minimum.
Advantages Of Fiber Post Procedures

They can be removed easily
Mostly preferred as they provide improved fracture resistance
With the help of high radiopacity, provides better position control
When compared to metal posts, fibers are more aesthetic options
Fiber Post Procedures Application
Fiber post procedures can be applied as a part of the root canal treatments. Once the canal treatment is completed, your dentist will be taking the measurements of the tooth in order to help create the best fiber post. When the fiber post is produced at the laboratory and ready to be applied, you’ll be visiting your dentist for the second part of the procedure. Next step is adhering the fiber post which is specially designed and developed for your teeth. When the process is successfully completed, any kind of veneer can be placed on top of it.
On a side note, fiber post procedures can be applied only when there is enough bone structure around the implant area. If not, you might need to undergo bone grafting procedures first.
