SUMMARY Advantages of a new post design, Flexi‐Flage® are described. It incorporates a split‐shank parallel threaded post with a flange that seats into an occlusal countersunk dentine space. This case report desecribes placement of three Flexi‐Flange posts in a first bicuspid, canine and central incisor. The Flexi‐Flange system was designed to offer high retention of the post in the root, superior distribution of stresses on insertion and under function, and longterm resistance to metal fatigue.
