Endodontically treated teeth are often structurally compromised, making them vulnerable to fractures. Traditional vertical post systems provide retention but require invasive canal preparation, increasing the risk of root fractures. Horizontal fibre post, however, offer a minimally invasive alternative by reinforcing weakened structures and evenly distributing occlusal forces. This case report presents a case where horizontal fibre post and composite resin build-up were used for post-endodontic rehabilitation. The approach enhanced fracture resistance, retention, and aesthetics while preserving natural tooth structure. This technique demonstrates a promising and cost-effective alternative to traditional systems, ensuring long-term durability and function in compromised teeth.
