Introduction: Since preserving the structure of treated teeth is a critical success factor, studying the effects of tooth structure loss on fracture resistance of the tooth tissue appears necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the consequences of the loss of different tissues regarding fracture resistance of teeth undergoing root canal treatment without the use of indirect restoration...

Introduction: the Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is critical, and the Awareness of stresses developed by oblique and vertical forces in restorative methods take a great role in treatment plans. Due to the anatomical shape and inherent form of the stress distribution premolars, could be lost by fractures. Some fractures such as vertical fracture which is probable in...

This systematic review aims to summarize the current clinical studies that investigated survival rates against fracture of endodontically treated posterior teeth restored with crowns or resin composite restorations. Literature search were performed using keywords. Publications from 1980 to 2016 were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS. Included studies were se...

To determine whether the distance between the post and the residual gutta-percha influences the clinical outcome of endodontic treatment, 94 endodontically treated teeth following post and core restoration were evaluated radiographically. The teeth were divided into three groups: (I) no gap between the gutta-percha and the post; (II) a gap of >0 to 2 mm; (III) a gap of >2 mm. Treatment outcome ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three types of luting cements used for post cementation on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary premolars, restored with resin composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred intact single-rooted human maxillary premolars were randomly divided into 5 groups of 20 each. In groups 2-5, post spaces were p...

introduction: this case report describes apexogenesis treatment of three molar teeth of an 8-year-old boy using three different pulpotomy agents. methods: pulpotomy was performed on decayed immature molar teeth with established irreversible pulpitis and the remaining pulp was capped with either zinc oxide eugenol, proroot mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. teet...

Dental maturity or dental age was determined in 44 children with hematological malignancies treated with chemotherapy. No significant difference was observed between the chronological and dental age in children treated with chemotherapy compared to healthy controls. With regard to the number of erupted permanent teeth, no significant differences could be found between the two groups. The result...

Background: Early childhood is a group that susceptible to dental disease, especially caries, so it needs special attention prevent it. Dental caries in milk teeth are not treated will result disruption of masticatory function and premature tooth loss which causes abnormal eruption permanent teeth. One the reasons for this poor oral hygiene due fact at age they do have independence maintaining ...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the quality of root fillings, coronal restorations, complications of all root-filled teeth and their association with apical periodontitis (AP) detected by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from an adult Turkish subpopulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample for this study consisted of 242 patients (aging from 15 to 72 years) with 522 endodontica...
