ABSTRACT
Introduction Dental caries and traumatic injuries often lead to tooth loss in adolescents and adults, necessitating endodontic treatment and subsequent restoration. Restoring such teeth presents a challenge due to varying degrees of substance loss. After endodontic treatment, the choice of an appropriate post is crucial for long-term stability. While metal posts are sturdy, they lack aesthetics and may cause root fractures. Fiber posts, such as carbon and glass fiber, offer improved aesthetics and mechanical properties, but their comparative performance warrants investigation. Materials and methods A total of 30 extracted anterior single-rooted teeth were divided into two groups to receive either carbon fiber or glass fiber posts. After endodontic treatment and post-space preparation, the posts were cemented using a dual polymerizing adhesive resin composite. Fracture resistance was assessed using a universal testing machine. Results The mean fracture resistance of the carbon fiber post group was recorded at 271.2 N, whereas the glass fiber post group exhibited a significantly higher mean fracture resistance of 416.133 N. This difference in fracture resistance between the two groups was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion Glass fiber post systems demonstrated superior fracture resistance compared to carbon fiber post systems in anterior single-rooted teeth. These findings support the clinical preference for glass fiber posts in restoring endodontically treated anterior teeth, offering both mechanical reliability and aesthetic advantages. However, further research, including long-term clinical trials, is warranted to validate these findings and assess the overall clinical performance and longevity of fiber post systems in real-world settings.
