The Effect of Stress Distribution by Fiberglass Post System With Different Designs on Endodontically Treated Maxillary Central Incisors: A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe stress distribution pattern in endodontic posts under masticatory load is crucial for optimizing prosthesis design. Limited research exists on the effect of various force vectors on teeth restored with fiber posts of different designs. This study analyzes and compares the stress distribution in endodontically treated maxillary central incisors restored with fiber posts of varying designs using finite element analysis (FEA).
methodsThree identical 3D finite element models of a maxillary central incisor were created from computed tomography (CT) scan images. Three models with different glass fiber post designs (parallel, tapered, and two-stage cylindrical) were also developed. Stress analysis was conducted using the ANSYS 12.1 software (ANSYS, Inc., Canonsburg, PA, USA) under a physiological load of 70 N, applied at 90°, 45°, and 180° angles to the maxillary incisor restored with a post, core, and crown until the prosthetic complex fractured.
resultsUnder vertical loading, the tapered post showed the highest stress concentration at the dentin and cementum levels, with values reaching 5.078 MPa and 3.227 MPa, respectively. Horizontal loading resulted in lower von Mises stress levels at the cancellous bone (4.316 MPa) and within the post (8.385 MPa) for the tapered post. The parallel post demonstrated the least stress in dentin (5.1598 MPa), cementum (10.0258 MPa), and periodontal ligament (PDL) (0.0107 MPa) under oblique loading.
conclusionsThis study suggests that post selection should be based on each clinical scenario's material properties and design considerations. FEA results showed significantly lower stress values in various regions of the tooth-restoration complex when a parallel fiber post was used in endodontically treated maxillary central incisors.
