Description
Bhullar and colleagues studied in 2026 how root canal treated upper premolar teeth break under pressure, with and without horizontal fiber posts for reinforcement. They prepared 60 extracted teeth with standard cavities, filled them with three different composite materials, and loaded them until fracture in a testing machine.
Teeth with fiber posts broke in more favorable ways, meaning breaks dentists can more often repair. More fractures also ran through the filling material itself rather than along its bond. The fiber post groups also showed fewer adhesive and unfavorable failures, and the differences were statistically significant. One material paired with posts gave the best pattern, but the post mattered more than which material was used.
