Survival Rate of Fiber Post with Direct Composite Restoration:
A Systematic Review
Abstract:
Background: Dental posts are used to provide retention for dental restorations with severe hard tissue loss. The increasing demand for aesthetics has led to the invention of fiber-reinforced posts, which have numerous benefits due to favorable mechanical properties. The survival rates of fiber-reinforced restorations vary widely and depend on the follow-up period.
Aim: The aim of the current systematic review is to the survival rate of fiber post with direct composite restoration.
Design: systematic review procedures in order to ensure that bias is minimized and transparency is enhanced. The PRISMA 2020 version was used. The PICOT model was used to guide the search strategy. In current study, electronic resources include MEDLINE – Web of science – EMBASE – PubMed, Google Scholar and ProQuest are checked out with search for all clinical studies which were published related to evaluation. 2172 studies, all of which were in the four electronic databases specified in the current study. The studies collected in EndNote, then imported into Covidence, and duplicate files were filtered, which amounted to 470 studies, which were deleted. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, the number of studies became 27 studies, 15 studies were excluded due to the lack of full text and their incompatibility with the proposed research design, and the studies most relevant to the systematic review question that met the inclusion criteria became 13 studies.
Results: Survival rate of fiber post with direct composite restoration was 90% with annual failure rate was 6%. The lowest survival rate (48%). The study used quartz fibers and the follow-up periods ranged from 1 to 6 years. The ARF rate was 11.63% in the first year and continued to increase with the increase in follow-up years until it reached 100% after the sixth year.
Conclusion: Fiber posts are the best alternative for the restoration of fractured endodontically treated teeth
