Abstract

Objective: The study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the efficiency of fiber posts used to restore endodontically treated molars. Subject and method: An retrospective study on 30 patients with endodontically treated molars that were then restored with fiber posts at Odonto-Stomalology Central Hospital from Jannuary 2011 to Jannuary 2019. Result: The median age was 27.13 years (male/female ratio: 2/1) of which 63.6% were among 20 - 30 years of age. Toothache, cracked teeth, teeth extraction and random visitoccupied 36.7%, 33.3%, 6.7% and 23.3% the reason for dental examination, respectively. Periapical periodontitis, pulp necrotis and irreverisible pulplitis accounted for 70%, 10% and 20%, respectively. The success rate after 3 months, 24 months, 70 months and 80 months was 96.7%, 96.4%, 88% and 82.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Clinical success of restoration for molars using fiber posts is determined by endodontic treatment and posts insertion technique. Fiber posts are not only suitable for restorating anterior teeth but also very safety for posterior molars.
