Glass fiber posts and core are increasingly used in order to restore severely damaged endodontically treated teeth and particularly maxillary premolars that are prone to fracture. Their low modulus of elasticity which is similar to that of dentin allows the post to absorb stress and prevent root fracture. In addition, the glass fiber posts provide a natural hue by integrally bonding to the composite, thereby improving the aesthetics without compromising much on the strength.Various factors are involved in the longevity of such treatment option, remaining tooth structure seems to be the most important.Key words: glass fiber posts, premolars, endodontically treated teeth, composite resin, fracture resistance, crown, ferrule, failure .
