  • Title: Reinforcement of thin-walled root canal structures for placement of esthetic dowels: a clinical report.
    Author: Ayad MF, Bahannan SA, Rosenstiel SF.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2011; 59(1):e18-21. PubMed ID: 21613026.
    Abstract:
    Thin-walled root canals always present a challenge to dentists to select a restorative treatment that does not further weaken the thin tooth structure. The prognosis of dowel and core restorations can be unpredictable. This clinical report describes the treatment of a patient with extensive caries extending into the root canal of an endodontically treated maxillary central incisor. The use of a flowable composite resin in combination with a quartz fiber reinforced post is described, resulting in the rehabilitation of a structurally compromised root canal with satisfactory esthetic and functional outcomes.
