چکیده

BACKGROUND A prospective study was started in 1995 to evaluate the success of carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin (CFRR) posts used to restore endodontically treated teeth. All the teeth in the study had lost more than 50% of their coronal structure. METHODS Fifty-nine carbon fibre Composiposts cemented with Metabond and built up with Core Paste cores were placed into the teeth of 47 patients. Each tooth received a full-coverage restoration (porcelain fused to metal crown) and was followed for 6.7-45.4 months (average = 28.0 months, standard deviation = 10.7). RESULTS Results for 52 teeth in 42 patients were analyzed. There were no fractures. The overall failure rate was 7.7% and the cumulative survival rate was 89.6% at the end of the follow-up period. The only statistically significant finding (p = 0.04) was that posts in lower premolars were at higher risk of failure. CONCLUSION CFRR posts are among the most predictable systems available today. CFRR posts in the upper anterior teeth are associated with a higher success rate and longer life than those placed in premolars, especially lower premolars. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence that supports the use of CFRR posts in the restoration of endodontically treated teeth.

Restoration of Endodontically Treated Teeth with Carbon Fibre Posts — A Prospective Study

Décembre 2000, Vol. 66, No 11 613 There is no consensus on the best procedure for restoring endodontically treated teeth. However, retrospective studies1-6 do identify factors that affect the success rate. Tooth location in the arch,1-3 type of occlusion,2 amount of remaining dentin3 and type of abutment1 affect the selection of a restorative approach that will produce a favourable outcome. Yet...

The Restoration of Endodontically treated teeth using Fibre Posts – A Review

Endodontically treated teeth with inadequate tooth structure are highly susceptible to fracture and posts have been commonly used to restore such teeth.Custom cast posts and prefabricated posts have been commonly employed for a long time. It has been slowly replaced by the fibre posts which are more esthetic and also reduced the occurrence of root fracture which was common with the metallic posts.

conclusions: The restoration of root canal treated teeth – because of the significant loss of tooth structureis often achieved with post and core. However, posts may generate stresses, which lead to vertical root fracture and the loss of the tooth. Since post design, materials used and post space preparation has significant influence on vertical fracture prevalence, broad investigation is in pr...

Effect of Post-Space Preparation on Apical Seal of Endodontically Treated Teeth

ABSTRACT  By restoration of pulpally exposed teeth with root canal therapy edentulous areas and neighbouring teeth displacement can be avoided. Prefabricated posts may be used for crown restoration of these teeth. For the preparation of root canal for post placement, Gutta percha should be removed by means of mechanical, thermal and chemical agents. To study the amount of apical leakage in vit...

Fibre reinforcement in a structurally compromised endodontically treated molar: a case report.

The reconstruction of structurally compromised posterior teeth is a rather challenging procedure. The tendency of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) to fracture is considerably higher than vital teeth. Although posts and core build-ups followed by conventional crowns have been generally employed for the purpose of reconstruction, this procedure entails sacrificing a considerable amount of resid...
