Currently, there is a wide use of fiberglass post. However, they have the disadvantage that their shape can not be changed and are inadequate for cases of teeth with extensive coronal destruction and wide root canals. This case report describes the use of a fiberglass post and core manufactured with a CAD / CAM system to restore a lower premolar tooth treated endodontically. This CAD / CAM fiberglass post adapts better to the root canal than a prefabricated post, without the need to use composite resin for the stump and reduces the thickness of the cement layer.
