Abstract :
Detection of iatrogenic root perforation during post-space preparation especially in
labiolingual plane can be challenging due to the two-dimensional nature of
conventional radiography; this can be even more challenging if the cemented post is
radiolucent. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were shown to be a
valuable diagnostic aid in diagnosis of such cases. However, in this case, the application
of CBCT did not help in diagnosis of a labial fiber post perforation in a maxillary
central incisor which was finally detected through exploratory surgery.
