Abstract
Successful outcome of endodontically treated teeth depends on adequate fluid tight seal of the root canal system followed by appropriate post endodontic restoration. There are several methods explained in literature to treat flared root canals which may be caused due to extensive caries, pulpal pathogenesis or iatrogenic mishaps. In all these cases there is a mismatch between post space and the shape of the fiber posts. One of the methods to overcome this situation is to customize the fiber post with composite resin. This method increases the adaptation of the customized post to the root dentinal walls and decreases the resin cement thickness. In this case series, how iatrogenic misadventures were managed by anatomical customization of fiber post has been discussed.
