A Novel Approach to Strengthening Endodontically Treated Teeth: Horizontal Fiber Post Technique – Case Report

Tooth fractures are a common complication after endodontic therapy, often surpassing reinfection in frequency. Complete coverage restorations remain the standard for reinforcement; however, their delay, especially in remote areas, increases fracture risk. Recent in vitro studies and case reports suggest that horizontally placed bucco-lingual glass fiber posts, significantly enhance fracture resistance. This technique is clinically feasible, cost-effective, and eliminates dependence on laboratory support. The present case report describes the application of this method, highlighting its potential as a gold standard interim approach. Prospective clinical trials are required to validate long-term outcomes. This method aims to improve the structural integrity of restored teeth, providing long-term durability and support to the coronal portion, which is often weakened post-treatment.
