The aim of this study was to demonstrate the technique of use of translucent glass fiber root posts. It was selected a teeth (maxilar lateral incisor) of a female patient, 36 years old assisted in the discipline of Dentistry of the State University of Ponta Grossa (UEPG). The dental element sufferred endodontics treatment and it has deficient temporary restoration. That procedure was accomplished with the intention of to generate retention to the definitive restoring material and to reinforce the remaining coronary portion of the dental element, minimizing, like this, the fracture probability. The use of the glass fiber root posts contributed to the maintenance of the aesthetics of the dental element, besides promoting a better distribution of the tensions in the dental structures and the retention of the restoring material. Glass fiber posts contribute to the natural aesthetics of the dental element.
