“In fact teeth restored using glass-fiber posts result in only a small number of failures, which are often repairable. In contrast, teeth restored using metal posts commonly present with more significant fractures, often resulting in the loss of the tooth.“ (Standlee, 1988; Freeman, 1998)
Hints and Tips
- To increase chemical interaction at the glass-fiber/bonding interface, apply silane to the surface of the post and dry thoroughly before applying bonding

J Adhes Dent. 2007 Apr;9(2):195-202. Magni E, Mazzitelli C, Papacchini F, Radovic I, Goracci C, Coniglio I, Ferrari M.) - How to remove a glass-fiber postIn comparison to other systems such as inlay-core, the clinical value of this type of restoration lies within the ease of such removal procedures.
- Remove the composite in order to gain access to the relevant post.
- Make an initial hole at the location of the insert without water to it.
- Use either a diamond-tipped, sonic or ultra-sonic insert without water, or a suitable drill, to delaminate the fiber and reveal the canal under the restoration.
