Maxillary premolar with an oval-shaped canal always poses a challenge while reconstruction using the post and core system. Fiber-post has many advantages over metallic-post and so fiber-post is becoming more popular and particularly widely used than metallic-post nowadays. Fiber-post has benefits of esthetic and strength, and its combination with flexible material, Ribbond has provided it with a high rise in the field of dentistry. The purpose of this case report was to show an innovative technique to place both glass fiber-post and Ribbond as a single assembly into the canal which gives a monoblock effect. This technique is feasible and may eradicate some of the problems associated with the cementation of ill-fitted fiber-post in an oval-shaped canal with widened canal space.
