BACKGROUND Post-retained crowns are indicated for endodontically treated teeth (ETT) with severely damaged coronal tissue. Metallic custom and prefabricated posts have been used over the years, however, due to unacceptable color, extreme rigidity and corrosion, fiber posts, which are flexible, aesthetically pleasing and have modulus of elasticity comparable with dentin were introduced. AIM To...

AIMS The purpose of the study was to apply established methods to survey reasons for the placement and replacement of crowns in general dental practice in the United Kingdom. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-eight general dental practitioners were recruited. Participants recorded the principal reason for the provision of each initial and replacement crown they provided over a 12-w...

Crown-root fractures in primary teeth are rare, with a wide variation of patterns that make diagnosis and treatment difficult. The aim of this study was to present a case series of crown-root fractures in primary teeth of children who attended a reference center. The study followed 28 cases of crown-root fractures in 26 children, representing 4% of the total number of attendees over 11 years of...

Crown reattachment is the most conservative treatment which can be used to restore fractured tooth, presumably with sufficient strength, while maintaining original contour, incisal translucency, and reducing chair time and cost.However, in case of crown fracture with pin-point pulp exposure, we should cautiously minimize the irritation to the pulp and consider pre-treatment pulpal status, choic...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical success of and parental satisfaction with treatment using prefabricated resin-faced stainless steel crowns (SSCs; Kinder Krowns, Mayclin Dental Studios, Minneapolis, Minn) on anterior primary teeth. METHODS Patients treated with Kinder Krowns within the last 3 years were recalled for dinical evaluation and completion of a parental...

Endodontically-treated teeth are prone to fracture due to loss of tooth structure and altered mechanical behaviors. The stability and rigidity of post-restored teeth, particularly in cases involving periodontal destruction, has not been adequately investigated. This study examined the influence of post material on teeth with simulated bone reduction by a multiparametric evaluation. Sixty extrac...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between fracture load of monolithic zirconia crowns and axial/occlusal thickness and to evaluate the fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns with reduced thickness in comparison with that of monolithic lithium disilicate crowns with regular thickness. MATERIALS AND METHODS Monolithic zirconia crowns (Lava Pl...

UNLABELLED This clinical report describes the treatment of a left maxillary permanent incisor that had a complicated crown-root fracture with multiple fragments and a right maxillary permanent incisor which had an uncomplicated crown fracture. The 17-year-old female patient was presented to Ataturk University's Dentistry Faculty with posttraumatic injuries. The treatment plan included fracture ...
