Fiber Post

A fiber post is a specialized element placed inside the tooth after root canal treatment to reinforce it. Fiber posts increase the durability of the tooth, ensuring the longevity of restorations. At our dental clinic, our fiber post applications provide ideal solutions for preserving your dental health and meeting your aesthetic needs.

What is a Fiber Post?

A fiber post is a type of support element placed into the root canal to reinforce the tooth. It is typically made from fiber materials such as composite or fiberglass. Fiber posts increase the tooth’s durability and provide a stronger base for restorations.

How is a Fiber Post Applied?

Examination and Planning: Your dentist evaluates the tooth and determines if it is suitable for a fiber post application. A treatment plan is created using X-rays or other imaging techniques.
Canal Cleaning: After previous root canal treatment, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. If necessary, the existing filling is removed, and the canal is prepared again.
Post Placement: The fiber post is placed into the root canal using a special adhesive. The post is securely anchored within the canal, reinforcing the tooth.
Restoration: After the fiber post is placed, a crown or filling is typically placed on top of the tooth to protect it and restore normal function.

Advantages of Fiber Posts

Durability: Fiber posts strengthen the tooth, making restorations more durable and long-lasting.
Aesthetics: Fiber posts are tooth-colored and translucent, providing a natural appearance and aesthetic suitability.
Load Distribution: Fiber posts evenly distribute the forces applied to the tooth, reducing the risk of tooth fracture.
Easy Application: The application process is usually quick and straightforward, speeding up the treatment process.
Biocompatibility: Fiber posts are compatible with tooth and surrounding tissues, with a low risk of allergic reactions.

Post-Care for Fiber Posts

Oral Hygiene: It is important to brush and floss the treated tooth regularly. Attention to oral hygiene is essential.
Check-ups: Regular dental check-ups should be scheduled. Your dentist will evaluate the condition of the fiber post and restoration and make any necessary adjustments.
Diet: It is recommended to avoid hard and sticky foods, which helps extend the life of the restoration.
