Literature Review
Introduction/Context/Diagnosis
Summary: This study aims to compare various post-systems used in endodontically treated teeth. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify studies that compared different post systems in endodontically treated teeth. The inclusion criteria included studies comparing two or more post-systems regarding clinical and/or radiographic outcomes. The studies included in the review evaluated different types of post systems, including prefabricated metal posts, custom-made metal posts, fibre-reinforced posts, and zirconia posts. The outcomes evaluated included retention rates, fracture rates, and marginal adaptation. Cast posts offer customization benefits but need multiple appointments, while prefabricated posts are widely used for their various material, size, shape, and aesthetic options. Fibre posts share dentin's elasticity, biocompatibility, aesthetic appeal, and comparable failure rates to metal posts.
Results/Outcome
Significance: The comparison of different post systems for endodontically treated teeth is crucial as it enables dentists to select the most suitable option for their patients, which can influence the effectiveness of the treatment. This choice can also affect the post's ability to retain its strength and appearance and how well it is tolerated by the patient's body, all of which are essential factors in the clinical outcome of the restoration.
Significance/Conclusions
In conclusion, the choice of post-system should be based on the clinical situation and the patient's needs. Fibre-reinforced posts may be the preferred choice in situations where retention is crucial. In contrast, custom-made metal posts may be preferred when the tooth is under heavy occlusal load. Zirconia posts may be preferred in esthetically demanding cases where good marginal adaptation is critical.
