This systematic review aims to summarize the current clinical studies that investigated survival rates against fracture of endodontically treated posterior teeth restored with crowns or resin composite restorations. Literature search were performed using keywords. Publications from 1980 to 2016 were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS. Included studies were se...

To determine whether the distance between the post and the residual gutta-percha influences the clinical outcome of endodontic treatment, 94 endodontically treated teeth following post and core restoration were evaluated radiographically. The teeth were divided into three groups: (I) no gap between the gutta-percha and the post; (II) a gap of >0 to 2 mm; (III) a gap of >2 mm. Treatment outcome ...

Current literature suggests that tooth fracture post endodontic treatment is a more common complication than an reinfection. The best way to treat such rehabilitation with complete coverage restoration or without foundation restoration. Critical analysis of several in vitro studies suggest posterior glass fiber reinforced composite restoration, particularly posts placed horizontally bucco-lingu...
