Polyethylene Fiber-Reinforced Composite Resin Used as a Short Post in Severely Decayed Primary Anterior Teeth: A Case Report

Abstract

The case report presented here is of a 4-year-old girl with severely decayed maxillary anterior teeth. After root canal treatment, the primary maxillary central and lateral incisors were reinforced using polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite resin short posts and restored using celluloid strip crowns. The technique described here offers a simple and effective method for restoring severely decayed primary anterior teeth that reestablishes function, shape, and esthetics. © 2009 Mosby, Inc.
