A tooth that has been properly treated endodontically should have a good prognosis. It can resume full function and if necessary serve satisfactory as an abutment for fixed removable partial denture. However special techniques are needed to restore such tooth. Traditionally, pulpless received dowel or post “reinforce” it crown “protect” it. Until the introduction of ZnPO4 cement in last century...

T echniques to reinforce endodontically treated teeth have been available for more than 100 years. However, few dentists have questioned the rationale that dictates automatic dowel reinforcement and coronal coverage of pulpless teeth. The difficulties of in vivo studies have motivated investigators to increase the number of in vitro studies of endodontically treated teeth. Although findings fro...

This study investigates timber connections with flexible polyurethane adhesives, which prove to have the potential for timber-adhesive composite structures without mechanical seismic regions. Results of conducted cyclic double lap-shear adhesive joints tests were compared available experimental results on standard dowel-type fasteners and numerical finite element analysis. The found that shear ...
