Abstract

This study was to compare the influence of glass fiber post placement and crown restoration on endodontically treated maxillary first premolars with severe NCCLs using three-dimensional finite element analysis and fracture resistance testing. G1, intact teeth. G2, teeth with artificial defect. G3, composite resin (CR). G4, CR and fiber post in buccal canal (FPB). G5, CR and fiber post in palatal canal (FPP). G6, CR and fiber posts in buccal and palatal canals (FPBP). G7, CR and crown (C). G8, CR, FPB, C. G9, CR, FPP, C. G10, CR, FPBP, C. Teeth in G2, G3, and G5 showed a similar stress concentration at the tip of the defect. The fracture resistance of G2 did not differ significantly from G3 and G5 (p>0.05) but differed significantly from that in other groups (p<0.05). The fractures in G4 were more favorable, and the difference of those in G1 from those in G7, G8, G9, and G10 was statistically significant (p<0.05). Restoration of root-filled maxillary premolars with severe NCCLs using fiber post in the buccal canal may be more efficacious than other restoration methods.
