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...

Aim. To compare the periapical status of endodontically treated teeth between Austrian and Croatian adult patients and determine its relation to age, sex, position of teeth, and length of root canal filling. Methods. The study was conducted from 2007 to 2009 at two university dental clinics and included 163 Croatian (412 teeth) and 101 Austrian (430 teeth) patients. We assessed the periapical s...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the biomechanical interactions in endodontically treated tooth implant-supported prosthesis (TISP) with implant system variations under dynamic cyclic loads monitored using the acoustic emission (AE) technique. METHODS Macrostructure implants using a taper integrated screw-in (TIS; 2-piece implant) and a retaining-screw (RS; 3-piece implant) connected to an ...

OBJECTIVES To assess the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth with a novel Zirconia (Zr) nano-particle filler containing bulk fill resin composite. METHODS Forty-five freshly extracted maxillary central incisors were endodontically treated using conventional step back preparation and warm lateral condensation filling. Post space preparation was performed using drills compatible...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the influence number coronal walls and post-endodontic restorations on mechanical strength 165 recently extracted endodontically treated maxillary premolars.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Little information exists regarding the outcome of crown build-ups on endodontically treated teeth restored with metal-ceramic crowns or with only a direct-placed composite. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical success rate of endodontically treated premolars restored with fiber posts and direct composite restorations and compare that treatment with ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare endodontic and implant treatments and to evaluate their predictability over an 8-year period on the basis of an analysis of survival data and a retrospective clinical study. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of 40 partially edentulous patients were selected for this study. Their teeth had been endodontically treated and rehabilitated using gold alloy a...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Teeth are weakened after endodontic treatment and should, ideally, be crowned, especially posterior teeth. However, this is not always possible. Information about the longevity of endodontically treated teeth without crown coverage may assist in selecting appropriate treatment modalities. PURPOSE The aims of this cohort study were to evaluate the survival rate for endodon...

BACKGROUND Posts are used to enhance crown buildup in pulpless teeth with destructed crown portion. Different types of post are used in endodontically treated teeth. The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate fracture resistance of custom made, metal, glass fiber reinforced and carbon reinforced posts in endodontically treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS An in vitro study was carr...

OBJECTIVES The present study was set up to explore (1) a potential association between a person's caries risk profile and the presence or absence of root-filled teeth, and (2) the caries risk in endodontically treated teeth. STUDY DESIGN Two hundred Saudi adults were divided into an Endodontic Group (EG; n = 100), with a minimum of 2 root-filled teeth, and a Non-Endodontic Group (NEG; n = 100...
