Fillings made on teeth with excessive substance loss can result in failure. For teeth that carry this risk, structures similar to nails and screws applied with the support of existing or canal treatment performed by us are called "posts".
Fiber Post Applications
Fiber post applications are applied to teeth with high substance loss. The reason for this is that filling applications on such teeth result in failure. For such risky teeth, screws and nails applied after root canal treatment are called posts. The post provides support from the root of the tooth. Fiber post application is the process of placing a fiber rod inside the tooth if there is no solid wall or if it is insufficient in the tooth that has had root canal treatment. In this way, support is taken from the root and a solid filling can be applied on the support.
Why Fiber Post Application?
Fiber post application can be coated with various coating materials if desired, thus helping to prevent tooth fractures and tooth loss.
In Which Cases is Fiber Post Applied?
- If the tooth root in the bone is solid and the crown is in poor condition,
- In case of crown fracture,
- In teeth where filling treatment is not possible,
- In inclined prosthesis substructure,
- In the angular arrangement of teeth
What are the Advantages?
- The fiber post ensures strengthening in both the root part and the crown part of the tooth.
- Prevents tooth loss.
- Reduces the need for implants.
- Reduces the need for tooth extractions.
- The crown becomes permanent.
Is the Application a Difficult Application?
It may not be correct to say that it is a difficult application, but it is a detailed application.
