Dental posts are used to provide the retention of dental restorations with severe loss of hard tissue. The increasing of demand for beauty led to the invention of fiber reinforced posts, which have the numerous benefits because of favorable mechanical properties. Survivals of restorations based on fiber posts are very various and depending on during the follow-up period, the failure rate has been reported from 10% to 100%.The most common cause of failure is loss of post retention, tooth fracture or post fracture. In current study, electronic resources include PubMed, MEDLINE, ISI , Scopus are checked out with search for all Retrospective studies and Prospective Studies which were published related to evaluation , Survival rate of endodontically treated teeth with fiber posts after prosthodontic restoration until June 30, 2015. In current study 942 articles were checked and among them, 30 articles were selected. The number of samples in each article have been various between 16 to 1304 treated teeth. In the studies reviewed, Patients are followed-up for at least six months and up to 10 years ,and survival rate was obtained from 48/8% to 100%. The current study showed that in clinical conditions survival rate of treated teeth based on fiber post was at an acceptable level.
