Abstract
Prosthetic dentistry involves functional and esthetic restoration. Some situations
require the use of fiber-reinforced composite resin posts that help preserve restorations.
However, if the initial treatment fails, a new endodontic intervention may be required
for fiber-reinforced composite resin post removal. This procedure can be complex and
challenging but can be facilitated with guided endodontics. This clinical report describes
the use of a prototyped guide created with virtual planning for fiber-reinforced composite
resin post removal. The guide improved patient safety, shortened the treatment time,
and eliminated the need for a new restoration.
