ABSTRACT
The fracture resistance of endodontically treated tooth is highly dependent on the remaining dentine thickness
around post and core systems. Flared root canals are more susceptible to fracture as the remaining walls are thin,
and the restoration of these teeth requires techniques that will not compromise the integrity of the remaining
radicular tooth structure. The introduction of materials that can bond to dentine has created an alternative option
for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of root canals that have been severely damaged by caries, trauma,
congenital disorders, or internal resorption. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre
reinforcement systems are gaining in popularity. As bondable reinforcement fibres, they can be used to build up
endodontic posts and cores; moreover, they adapt to the root canal walls without requiring additional enlargement
of the root canal after endodontic treatment. This case report discusses the management of fractured non-vital
anterior tooth using polyethylene fibre post-core.
