“Rehabilitación adhesiva mediante fibras de polietileno en dientes posteriores tratados endodónticamente con gran pérdida estructural, revisión de literatura.”

Abstract

Objective: To describe adhesive rehabilitation using polyethylene fibers in endodontically treated posterior teeth with significant structural loss. Materials and methods: A literature review was conducted encompassing articles published since 2018 through Medline and PubMed. Additionally, a manual filtering of the studies found was performed to analyze all potential articles available. The studies included in this review are texts about post-endodontic treatments, fracture resistance, microleakage, and adaptation of composite restorations reinforced by polyethylene and glass composites. Results: Thirty-nine full-text comparative articles that fully met the selection criteria were evaluated. Conclusions: It is essential to consider the criteria for selecting the restorative material, which should comply with physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics, including fracture resistance. Technology is and will be a strategy for creating materials such as polyethylene fibers, which provide better characteristics, replacing commonly used materials.
