The use of fiber posts and self-adhesive resin cement for intraradicular reinforcement has been suggested to
improve the outlook for teeth with structural compromises. While the modulus elasticity of gutta-percha is lower 175-230
times than dentin, fiber post has a similar modulus elasticity to dentin. It is also known that conventional root canal sealers
do not adhere well to dentin and gutta-percha. Since MTA exhibits superior sealing capacity compared to gutta-percha as an
apical seal for teeth indicated for post and core, it should be considered to put fiber post directly after the MTA plug.
