Dental posts are materials used to provide load-bearing support and stability to remaining teeth during oral rehabilitation. Their application is usually related to significant loss of tooth structure, being employed after endodontic treatment, as the post is inserted inside the root canal. In this sense, fiber posts are gaining prominence in the market due to their excellent mechanical and structural properties. This research aims to compare the fracture resistance of both glass fiber posts and quartz fiber posts in posterior teeth. Searches were conducted in the electronic databases Scielo, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus between 2016 and 2026. 1353 articles were found, and only 5 were selected for meeting the requirements of this research. The quartz fiber post has high mechanical resistance, as well as an elastic modulus similar to that of dentin, better light transmission, and fiber density and orientation with better force distribution. The fiberglass post, on the other hand, possesses high mechanical resistance, a modulus of elasticity close to that of dentin, better adhesion, and homogeneity with the resin. Comparatively, the results related to fracture resistance are satisfactory for both posts, with the quartz post being slightly better in terms of resistance; however, no significant difference was found between the posts.
