Restoration of endodontically treated teeth becomes especially complex when the involved teeth have previously undergone trauma, treatment for caries, fractures, endodontic-access preparation, canal instrumentation and other idiopathic causes. Excessive loss of dental hard tissues and inadequate maxillomandibular relationship possess difficulties for the esthetic result of subsequent prosthetic...

introduction: the resistance to fracture of endodontically treated teeth restored with esthetic post systems has not been extensively researched. this in vitro study compared the fracture patterns of endodontically treated teeth with esthetic post systems with different analysis methods. materials and methods: a total of 26 recently extracted human maxillary central incisors were decoronated an...

introduction: this cross-sectional survey determined the dental prevalence of apical periodontitis (ap) in selected iranian population, and evaluated the influence of the quality of root canal treatment (rct) and their coronal restorations (cr) on the periapical status. materials and methods: a total of 1064 panoramic radiographies were evaluated by two observers during 2009. the quality of rct...

Posts are fabricated for the purpose of retaining restoration in cases where coronal structure is inadequate. They strengthen endodontically treated teeth. Metallic posts being rigid compared to tooth limits its use. Post and core systems available nowadays permits teeth aethetically. Features like light transmission, biocompatibility improved with metal free unlike To improve aesthetics, physi...

BACKGROUND Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease around the apex of a tooth root. Reported prevalence of AP ranges from 27% to 83% while the data about most post-Soviet countries are still missing. Knowing the prevalence of AP within a certain population helps to plan the treatment need and evaluate the success of endodontic interventions. We aimed to collect data about prevalenc...
