This review of fibre-based endodontic posts found limited clinical evidence. More controlled trials are needed to confirm the clinical appropriateness of these posts for restoring endodontically treated teeth.

Area of Science:

  • Dental materials science
  • Endodontics
  • Restorative dentistry

Background:

  • Fibre-based posts are increasingly used in endodontic restorations.
  • Existing literature primarily consists of laboratory studies.
  • Clinical data supporting their efficacy remains scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize published literature on fibre-based endodontic post systems.
  • To evaluate the current evidence base regarding their performance and clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive MEDLINE search was conducted for relevant dental journal articles.
  • Articles were included based on specific criteria and reviewed by a single observer.
  • Fifty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria for this review.

Main Results:

  • The majority of studies were laboratory-based, with limited clinical investigations.
  • Evidence for carbon-fibre posts is more extensive than for quartz-fibre posts.
  • Laboratory findings were often contradictory, limiting their clinical applicability.

Conclusions:

  • Current laboratory evidence for fibre-based posts is inconsistent and cannot reliably guide clinical practice.
  • While few clinical studies exist, they suggest potential clinical appropriateness.
  • There is a critical need for controlled prospective clinical trials to establish evidence-based guidelines for using fibre-based posts.
