Abstract

Proper restoration and maintenance of endodontically treated teeth with thin-walled roots and immature apices is of a great concern due to the high prevalence of such cases. The aim of this study was to review the efficiency of different materials used for post–core systems in order to restore endodontically treated teeth. A literature review was conducted using electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to find relevant articles. Randomized controlled trials that were related to different post–core techniques for restoring endodontically treated teeth and were in the English language were included from 2000 until 2022. Most articles concluded that cast posts have higher fracture resistance than fiber posts. All articles comparing stainless steel posts with other materials found that it had higher fracture strength. No particular difference between various types of fiber posts was identified, and all can reinforce the immature roots with thin dentinal walls.
