The results of this study did not show significant differences for root fracture incidence between metal- and fiber posts .
INTRODUCTION Teeth requiring endodontic treatment commonly have compromised a coronal tooth structure that often requires the use of an intraradicular post to retain the coronal restoration .
Although usually successful , catastrophic failures requiring extraction have been reported in the literature .
The aim of this systematic review was to analyze clinical trials and cohort studies that evaluated the incidence rate of root fractures in post-retained restorations .
The hypothesis was that the incidence rate related to the use of metal posts was higher than that of fiber posts .
The Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias in randomised trials
Flaws in the design , conduct , analysis , and reporting of r and omised trials can cause the effect of an intervention to be underestimated or overestimated . The Cochrane Collaboration ’s tool for assessing risk of bias aims to make the process clearer and more
