Glass Fibre-Reinforced Composite Post and Core Used in Decayed Primary Anterior Teeth : A Case Report

Abstract EN

Aesthetic requirement of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth in the case of early childhood caries has been a challenge to pediatric dentist.

Among restorative treatment options, prefabricated crown and biological and resin composite restoration either by means of direct or indirect technique are mentioned in the literature.

This paper presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of maxillary anterior primary teeth.

Endodontic treatment was followed by the placement of a glass fibre-reinforced composite resin post.

The crown reconstruction was done with composite restoration.

Resin glass fibre post has best properties in elasticity, translucency, adaptability, tenaciousness, and resistance to traction and to impact.

Along with ease of application, fiber can be used as an alternative to traditionally used materials in the management of early childhood caries.
