AIM To analyse the effect of ferrule height upon the mechanical resistance and stress distribution within a root to explain variations in the pattern of root fracture. METHODOLOGY An extracted, intact, caries free, maxillary right central incisor was scanned by laser and then reconstructed on a computer to produce a model of the tooth and associated periodontal ligament. A simulated post/core...

introduction: in cases of severe hard tissue loss, 2 mm circumferential ferrule is difficult to achieve. so in these cases we should use different ferrule designs. this in vitro study investigated the effect of different ferrule designs on the fracture resistance of teeth restored with bonded post and cores. materials and methods: forty freshly-extracted central incisors were endodontically tre...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of different ferrule heights on endodontically treated premolars. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty sound mandibular first premolars were endodontically treated and then restored with 7-mm fiber post (FRC Postec Plus #1 Ivoclar-Vivadent) luted with self-polymerized resin cement (Multilink, Ivoclar Vivadent) while the coronal section was restored with hybr...

This study investigated the effect of a crown-lengthening ferrule on the fracture resistance of endodontically-treated teeth restored with two dowel-core systems. Thirty-two extracted mandibular first premolars were sectioned perpendicular to the long axis at a point 1.0 mm occlusal to the buccal cementoenamel junction. Following endodontic treatment, the teeth were randomly assigned to four gr...

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of endocrowns and glass fiber post-retained crowns on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars prepared with or without ferrule. Materials and Methods: Twenty sound mandibular premolars were endodontically treated. They were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n=5), in which, teeth were prepared to receive all...

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...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM There are few published studies analyzing the effects of different ferrule lengths of endodontically treated teeth in relationship to newly developed fiber-reinforced and zirconia dowel systems. PURPOSE This in vitro study compared the effect of 3 different ferrule lengths on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of crowned endodontically treated teeth restored wi...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Unresolved controversy exists concerning the remaining coronal tooth structure of anterior endodontically treated teeth and the best treatment option for restoring them. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of post, core, crown type, and ferrule presence on the deformation, fracture resistance, and fracture mode of endodontically treated bovine inc...
