Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The post and core system for residual roots and crowns can achieve satisfactory effects, when fil ing restoration, ful crowns or inlay has poor effects. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical use of glass fiber post and metal post in the restoration of endodontical y treated teeth. METHODS:A total of 106 patients with 160 endodontical y treated teeth were selected and restored with glass fiber post (n=80 teeth) and metal post (n=80 teeth) fol owed by porcelain-fused-mental crown. The restorations were evaluated clinical y for 9 to 33 months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Glass fiber post treatment for 78 teeth was effective and that for two teeth were failed, with a successful rate of 98%. Metal post restoration was effective in 71 teeth and failed in nine teeth including one tooth of crown fracture, four of root fracture and four of post loss, with a successful rate of 89%. There was statistical y significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Glass fiber post is better in convenient handling and good color and reduced probability leading to root broken for dental restoration compared with metal post.
