Introduction Tooth that has been root-treated with minimal remaining tooth structure is indicated for coronal protection to give good long- term prognosis [1]. For this reason, intra-radicular post usage is commonly practiced by dentist to provide suffcient support and retention of the restoration. The post also allows build up and retain of coronal prosthetic core [2]. Other than the remaining tooth structure left (ferrule effect) and assessment of the endodontic status, other clinical factors such as the root anatomy, root length and its confguration, and occlusal forces need to be considered to prevent complication after post placement [3, 4]. Various techniques and materials were applied to aid restoring a tooth using a post and core. Advance dental materials technology introduced the pre-fabricated tooth coloured post such as fber post which has given dentists additional advantages over the use of traditional cast metal posts or screw posts [5]. Moraes et al (2013) [6] stated that fber posts are superior to metal posts as fber posts are less likely to cause root fracture due to their lower modulus elasticity similarly to dentine and show similar stress pat- terns under external impacts. Fiber post is aesthetically benefcial especially for anterior teeth compared to metal post which can cause discolouration of the soft tissue adjacent to root surface Abstract Post is used to give suffcient retention for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Recently, there are many types of post including fber post. It is preferred due to its lower modulus elasticity similar to dentine. In Malaysia, there is lack of study regarding the use of fber post. This study was done using an online survey distributed to dentistry students in selected universities in Malaysia. Study aim to assess their knowledge and clinical consideration on fber post descriptively. There were 85 respondents involved. The theory of fber post was studied in fourth year of programme by 73.8% of respondents. 83.5% and 47.6% of respondents preferred to use fber post for anterior teeth and posterior teeth respectively. About 83.5% of respondents agreed that post is indicated when there is only one third of tooth structure left, with 55.3% chose to place post within one week after semi-permanent restoration. Resin-based cement was the most preferred choice for cementation of fber post (69.4%). 92.9% of respondents used rubber dam isolation during post placement. The overall knowledge of respondents ranging from good to excellent was 61.2% to 20%. Chi-square test was done and there was no signifcant correla- tion between practical hours and student’s level of knowledge with p-value>0.05. There was no signifcant difference between total score and year of study by ANOVA test with p-value>0.05. This study showed good understanding and practice among undergraduate dental students in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) and other universities regarding their knowledge about fber post.
