        abstract = {Introduction: Endodontically treated teeth are at higher risk of fracture than vital teeth due to the decreased moisture content in dentin. For functional and esthetic concerns, complete coverage crown restorations along with post and core are often recommended. The objective of a post-endodontic restoration is to achieve normal form and function as well as prevention of root fracture. 
Materials and methods: 140 extracted maxillary central incisors with single canal were divided into 7 groups as group A – control group, group B – Cast post, group C – Carbon fiber post, group D- Glass fiber post, group E- Quartz fiber post, group F- Zirconia post, each group having 20 samples. Root canal treatment was performed on all samples except in control group. Post cementation and core build up was done for all prefabricated posts. All the samples were mounted on acrylic blocks and loaded under universal testing machine. The load at which failure occurred was recored in newton. One way ANOVA test was performed to compare the fracture resistance of seven different post system (N).
Results: The highest difference for fracture resistance was found between cast post and control group and the least significant difference was found between carbon fiber post and zirconia post.
Discussion: Endodontic treatment does save the tooth but in turn the tooth becomes weaker as compared to a normal vital tooth. For functional and esthetic concerns, complete coverage crown restorations along with post and core are often recommended. The posts and core systems can be divided into cast posts and prefabricated posts. There are some disadvantages associated with conventional post and core systems such as poor retention of the post, while prefabricated post is easy to use.},
