Short fiber-reinforced composite resins as post-and-core materials for endodontically treated teeth: A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies.

Statement Of Problem: As the use of traditional posts has been associated with complications and failure outcomes, the introduction of novel materials and minimally invasive dentistry has shifted toward the use of composite resin post-and-core restorations for endodontically treated teeth. As a further process, to improve stress absorption environment in restored teeth, the invention of short fiber-reinforced composite resins (SFRCs) as post-and-core restorations has recently emerged. However, evidence regarding its performance is still scarce, and a synthesis of existing data is lacking.
