CASE REPORTS The problem of thermal sensitivity following non-surgical root-canal treatment is explored and case reports are presented. Possible causes for post-treatment discomfort from endodontic and restorative aetiologies are discussed, as are the mechanisms to explain the patients' painful experiences. Treatment of this problem may vary from the simple replacement of a defective restoratio...

Introduction: Root resorption, generally expressed in a round apical shape, is one of the most common findings in the orthodontic clinic. Objective: To radiographically evaluate whether vital and endodontically treated teeth present similar severity of apical root resorption in response to orthodontic treatment. Methods: This study was conducted with twenty-eight patients who had one upper cent...

statement of problem: it is yet unclear whether fiber-reinforced composite posts can enhance the mechanical properties and prevent vertical fractures of teeth under chewing loads. purpose: the purpose of this study was to compare the fracture resistance and failure mode of endodontically treated teeth restored with three different post systems. materials and methods: thirty-six maxillary canine...

The clinical success of a restorative procedure of endodontically treated teeth depends on the cementation used to create a link between the restoration and the tooth. The retention of a post is a major factor influencing the survival of the restoration. Most clinical failures involving endodontically treated teeth reconstructed with posts are due to cementation failure of posts, whereas root f...
