    The influence of horizontal glass fiber posts on fracture strength and fracture pattern of endodontically treated teeth: A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies
    (Wiley, 2022) Abdulrab, Saleem; Geerts, Greta; Al-Maweri, Sadeq Ali
    This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize available evi-dence regarding the effect of horizontal glass fiber posts (HGFPs) on fracture strengthand fracture pattern of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) compared to controls withoutHGFP. The review protocol was registered on the OSF registries.Literature searches were conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Web ofScience, Embase, Google Scholar, and ProQuest for all relevant studies published upto February 2022. All in vitro studies that assessed the influence of HGFPs on fracturestrength and fracture pattern of ETT whether mesio-occluso-distal or mesio-occlusalor DO cavities were considered eligible. Review Manager (RevMan) was used forthe meta-analysis. Subgroup and funnel plot analyses were also performed. Qualityassessment was conducted by two independent reviewers.
