Fiber reinforced composites are bondable, biocompatible, aesthetic, translucent and easy-to-use in clinical practice. They have various applications in clinical dentistry due to their wide spectrum of intended properties. Composite is an better esthetic material which has an inherent problem of bulk fracture where cohesive failure occurs within the restorative material. When fibers are incorporated with composites they enhance the cohesive strength and thereby prevents bulk fracture.Some of the fibers which are commonly used in reconstruction procedures in operative dentistry and endodontics are polyethylene fibers, quartz glass fibers, carbon fibers and aramid fibers. This case report enumerates usage of Fiber reinforced composites as an endodontic post and cores material. It can be used as an alternative to conventional treatment in dentistry.
