Often there is the need of moving teeth endodontically treated or teeth still in endodontic treatment. In order to collaborate with the comprehension and substantiation of the following subjects we will discuss: 1) Orthodontic movement in endodontically treated teeth without periapical lesion, 2) Orthodontic movement in endodontically treated teeth with inflammatory periapical lesion, and 3) Or...

AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with different post and core systems in combination with complete metal crowns in teeth with no coronal structure. METHOD AND MATERIALS Fifty extracted mandibular premolars were divided into five groups. The coronal portion of each tooth was removed at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ)...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of ferrule preparation length on the fracture resistance after simulated surgical crown lengthening and after forced tooth eruption of endodontically-treated teeth restored with a carbon fiber-reinforced post-and-core system. METHODS 40 extracted endodontically-treated mandibular first premolars were decoronated 1.0 mm coronal to the buccal cemento-enamel juncti...

The treatment of intrabony defects is a real challenge in molar teeth as it is chronic, slowly progressing disease which needs timely intervention. Periodontal inflammation associated with intrabony defect is not a separate entity as it secondarily affects the pulp causing retrograde pulpitis. However, treatment of these lesions will be complicated due to extensive bone loss. The tooth was endo...

objective: the main goal of this study was to evaluate stress distribution of endodonti-cally treated maxillary central incisors restored with glass fiber posts, composite resin cores, and crowns with different ferrule designs. materials and methods: four three-dimensional models of a maxillary central incisor were modeled in solidworks 2006. tooth with no ferrule, tooth with a 2 mm circumferen...

Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) posts are commonly used by clinicians in post-endodontic restorations, mostly due to their favorable physical properties, i.e. the modulus of elasticity close to that of dentin (1). Yet, clinical failures involving endodontically treated teeth reconstructed with FRC posts could occur and are mainly attributed to cementation flaws (2). The design and composition ...

Background and Aim: Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is one of the most important and challenging topics in restorative dentistry. Longevity of such restorations is an essential factor in treatment planning. Amalgam build-up is a conservative method for restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the longevity of this type of restoration in endo...

The root canal space prepared for a foundation restoration is often elliptic or too large, and an unintentionally prepared undercut is sometimes detected. This article presents a dental laboratory technique to reconstruct an endodontically treated tooth using a pre-impregnated fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) system instead of a conventional fiber post. Particular attention was paid to increase...

More often than not pulpless teeth remain relatively intact after conservative endodontic treatment. Although it hasn't been shown that endodontically treated are more brittle healthy ones, known to crack during mastication. As a result of this phenomenon, dental professionals have looking for strategies prevent from breaking. Restoration and reinforcement is crucial preventative step in therap...
