Effect of Ferrule Height on the Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth Restored With Glass Fiber Posts: An In Vitro Study
Ferrules play a significant role in the fracture resistance of glass fiber post-restored teeth. Increasing the ferrule length significantly increases fracture resistance. Although metal posts provide higher fracture resistance, they are associated with a greater incidence of non-repairable failures. Glass fiber posts combined with an adequate ferrule are a more favorable option for restoring structurally compromised teeth.
