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...

abstract: apexification with calcium hydroxide is associated with certain difficulties, such as longer treatment time, risk of tooth fracture and incomplete calcification of apical bridge. mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) is an alternative material that can be used for apexification of open apices due to its biocompatibility, non-mutagenicity, non-neurotoxicity, regenerative abilities, and good...

objective: the main goal of this study was to evaluate stress distribution of endodonti-cally treated maxillary central incisors restored with glass fiber posts, composite resin cores, and crowns with different ferrule designs. materials and methods: four three-dimensional models of a maxillary central incisor were modeled in solidworks 2006. tooth with no ferrule, tooth with a 2 mm circumferen...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyclic loading on the bond strength of quartz fiber posts to root canal dentin after different surface treatments of different regions of root canal dentin.forty-eight single-rooted human teeth were selected. post spaces were prepared and then the teeth were divided into four groups: g1: no treatment (control); g2: irrigation with a chemical s...

objectives this study aimed to assess the effect of object position in the field of view (fov) of cbct on detection of vrfs in teeth with intra-canal posts. materials and methods the crowns of 60 extracted premolar teeth were cut at the level of cementoenamel junction (cej). root canals were filled with gutta-percha and filling of the coronal 2/3 of the root canals was subsequently removed to f...

objective: there is no definitive data on the strength of glass fiber and cast posts with different length. this in vitro study was designed to investigate and compare the effect of length on the retentive strength of glass fiber and cast posts. materials and methods: sixty recently extracted intact maxillary canine teeth were cut 1mm above the cej. the specimens were endodontically treated and...

introduction: prefabricated metal and ceramic posts can be used with different kinds of core materials as an alternative to the conventional casting post and cores. it is unclear how these post and core systems can withstand different kind of forces in the mouth. the purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of endodontically treated, crowned maxillary incisors restored with ca...

statement of problem: currently there are three recognized theories about the diameter of prepared dowel space in endodontically treated teeth. diameter of the dowel is commonly contributed to the root fracture. purpose: this study used a 3 dimensional (3d) finite element method to predict stress distribution in endodontically treated central maxillary tooth with cast post and core with various...
