| description | Purpose: The aim of this study was to review the literature related to the clinical performance and laboratory findings regarding fiber posts, as well as the cementation technique employed with their use. Materials and Methods: A literature search was performed using an electronic database, PubMed/Medline, between 2010 and 2023. The terms used were “intra coronal post, fiber post, post cementation, and post length”. Titles and abstracts were initially screened, and a full-text assessment was conducted for those that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The reference list of the collected papers was also screened for further relevant citations. Results: In this work, 135 potentially eligible studies were analyzed. Titles and abstracts of 90 studies followed the inclusion criteria and were selected for a full-text assessment, resulting in 50 studies selected. Moreover, additional studies from relevant citations were included, totaling 57 studies. Conclusion: According to the laboratory and clinical studies revised, the survival rate between fiber and prefabricated and cast metal posts was similar, and failures were mainly related to the loss of retention. The intra-canal post length of less than two-thirds of the root length presented successful results when ferrule was present. Furthermore, the ferrule increased the longevity of teeth restored with fiber posts. Additionally, the use of a surface treatment protocol for fiber posts and the adhesive cementation technique both contributed to the clinical success and longevity of the intra-canal post. |
