The prosthetic treatment of seriously damaged, endodonticallytreated teeth often require an endodontic post as an additional retention element for core build-up prior to crown restoration. In addition to metal-based posts and zirconia-based ceramic posts, fiber-reinforced composite posts have recently become a center of interest for dentists and science. In the past it was commonly accepted tha...

Five types of posts from three different manufacturers (RTD, France, Carbotech, France and Ivoclar-Vivadent, Liechenstein) were subjected to three-point bending tests in order to obtain fatigue results, flexural strength and modulus. Transverse and longitudinal polished sections were examined by scanning electron microscopy and evaluated by computer-assisted image analysis. Physical parameters,...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. The development and use of fiber-reinforced composite root canal posts make possible the reattachment of the crown esthetically. This case report presents a clinical technique...

objective: the aim of the present study was to compare microtensile bond strengths (μtbs) of glass fiber posts to different parts of intra-radicular dentin using conventional method and one-shot technique under different light intensities. materials and methods: twenty-eight single-rooted teeth were prepared to receive fiber posts: group 1: conventional method at light intensity of 600 mw/cm2; ...

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...

PURPOSE Over the past years, the adhesion of fiber posts luted with simplified adhesive systems has been a matter of great interest. The aim of this study was to assess the post retentive potential of a self-adhesive resin cement using different adhesive systems to compare the push-out bond strengths of fiber posts. MATERIALS AND METHODS The post spaces of 56 mandibular premolar roots were pr...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of eugenol-containing endodontic sealers and luting strategy on the pull-out bond strength of glass fiber posts to dentin. Sixty-four bovine incisors were randomly assigned into two groups of 32 specimens each for obturation procedure with gutta-percha only, or with Pulp Canal Sealer EWT Subsequently, the roots were prepared for the fiber post...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of ascorbic acid, ethanol and acetone on microtensile bond strength between fiber posts pre-treated with hydrogen peroxide and composite resin cores. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty four fiber posts were pre-treated with 24% hydrogen peroxide and divided into 4 groups as follows: G1: no treatment, as control group; G2: treatment with ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of different endodontic irrigant solutions and resin cement systems on the bond strength of cemented fiber posts. METHODS Sixty human single-rooted anterior teeth were sectioned transversely at 2 mm incisal to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). The roots were treated endodontically, and teeth were distributed into six groups: group A, includes 5.25...
