## TL;DR

This case report describes a new method for reinforcing a fractured front tooth using a special dental post and composite material.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a novel technique for placing fiber-reinforced composite posts and sheets as a single unit in dental reconstruction.

## Key findings

- Using Dentapreg PINPost with FRC sheets creates a monoblock effect in tooth reconstruction.
- The technique offers advantages over traditional metallic and fiber posts.
- This method may reduce post and core system failures.

## Abstract

The reason to use post is to retain the core that holds the definitive prosthesis. The maxillary central incisor always poses a challenge during reconstruction using the post and core system. Dentapreg PINPost, a pre-cured flexible post made of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), has many advantages over metallic posts and fiber posts. The purpose of this case report is to present an innovative technique to place both FRC posts and FRC sheets as a single assembly into the canal which gives a monoblock effect. This technique is feasible and may eradicate some of the problems associated with the failure of the post and core.
