Objective To explore the effect of prefabricated fiber posts in oral restoration treatment.Methods 78 patients who underwent oral restoration treatment were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 39 patients in each group.The observation group was restored by prefabricated fiber posts,and the control group was restored by plastic fiber posts.Comparison was made on periodontal health indicators[plaque index(PLI),bleeding index(BI),probing depth(PD)]at different time points[before surgery(T0),3 months after surgery(T1),and 6 months after surgery(T2)],bite force,masticatory efficiency,success rate of restoration,restoration time,levels of inflammatory factors[interleukin-17(IL-17),interleukin-23(IL-23)]before and after restoration,and complications between the two groups.Results(i)At T1,the observation group had PLI of(1.90±0.22)points,BI of(2.01±0.33)points and PD of(1.21±0.45)mm,which were significantly lower than(2.11±0.26)points,(2.86±0.32)points and(1.51±0.53)mm in the control group(t=3.851,11.548,2.695;P<0.05).At T2,the observation group had PLI of(0.83±0.23)points,BI of(0.87±0.34)points,and PD of(0.55±0.49)mm,which were significantly lower than(1.65±0.29)points,(1.55±0.35)points,and(1.05±0.30)mm in the control group(t=13.835,8.703,5.435;P<0.05).(ii)The complication rate of the observation group was 2.56%,which was lower than the control group's 17.95%(P<0.05).(iii)At T1,the bite force of(111.51±7.14)lbs and masticatory efficiency of(73.35±5.01)%in the observation group were significantly higher than(94.01±7.46)lbs and(65.35±4.96)%in the control group(t=10.583,7.087;P<0.05).At T2,the bite force of(133.35±10.01)lbs and masticatory efficiency of(88.86±7.53)%in the observation group were significantly higher than(114.53±18.46)lbs and(77.01±8.02)%in the control group(t=5.597,6.727;P<0.05).(iv)After restoration,the observation group had IL-17 of(300.84±13.73)ng/L and IL-23 of(6.29±2.16)μg/L,which were lower than(353.26±10.47)ng/L and(7.65±2.47)μg/L in the control group(t=18.959,2.588;P<0.05).The restoration time of the observation group was(65.28±3.51)min per tooth,which was shorter than the control group's(100.24±6.61)min per tooth(t=29.172,P<0.05).The success rate of restoration in the observation group was 97.44%,which was higher than 79.49%in the control group(χ2=6.155,P<0.05).Conclusion Prefabricated fiber posts have good effects and high value in oral restoration treatment.
