ABSTRACT 

 Background and aim: Choice of the most suitable obturation materials and post–core systems for endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is challenging and should be performed by understanding their areas of applications, advantages, amount and characteristics of remaining tooth structure, and esthetic needs. Case description: The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with customized glass fiber post in nonsurgical ETT retreatment of single-rooted teeth is recommended to treat apical root pathosis with open apexes. A combination of those materials can provide impressive results in the anterior esthetic zone and in the presence of immature and wide canals. Conclusion: This report demonstrated the use of MTA and customized glass fiber posts for nonsurgical root canal (RC) retreatment of maxillary anterior teeth for a young male patient. Clinical significance: This technique is simple, effective, less invasive, and suitable for apical apexification and to restore wider ETT canals.
