ABSTRACT
For many years now, cast posts have been regarded as standard in prosthetics despite the technical and mechanical limitations caused by their high moduli of elasticity, which prevent the forces involved from being effectively dissipated and, therefore, concentrate stress within the root canal. Scientific evidence-based literature describes fiberglass posts with moduli of elasticity similar to or approaching that of dentin as having anisotropic properties, as opposed to the isotropic properties of traditional posts. We propose a restorative approach that involves the post, the cement, and the dentin, forming a homogeneous complex known as a «monobloc» that enables enhanced mechanical behavior that benefits the remaining tooth structure.
