  • Title: Use of glass fiber post and composite resin in restoration of a vertical fractured tooth.
    Author: Fidel SR, Sassone L, Alvares GR, Guimarães RP, Fidel RA.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2006 Dec; 22(6):337-9. PubMed ID: 17073928.
    Abstract:
    Combined coronal and vertical root fractures are difficult to treat and extraction of the affected tooth is quite often indicated. In anterior teeth, esthetics and function must be reestablished immediately. This case describes the restoration of a fractured upper right central incisor using a glass fiber post and adhesive composite. At the follow-up appointment, 13 months later, clinical and radiographical examinations revealed the glass fiber post and restoration in place, suggesting the efficacy of the treatment in maintaining fractured tooth.
