OBJECTIVES The objective of this meta-analysis was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for tooth fractures in vivo. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, CNKI and SIGLE were searched from January 1990 to April 2013 for eligible studies. Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) was employed to ass...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Crowns have been considered the restoration of choice for endodontically treated teeth, but their selection has been based primarily on anecdotal evidence. PURPOSE This study tested the hypothesis that crown placement (coronal coverage) is associated with improved survival of endodontically treated teeth when preaccess, endodontic, and restorative factors are controlled. ...

Introduction: the Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is critical, and the Awareness of stresses developed by oblique and vertical forces in restorative methods take a great role in treatment plans. Due to the anatomical shape and inherent form of the stress distribution premolars, could be lost by fractures. Some fractures such as vertical fracture which is probable in...

The advances in adhesive dentistry have allowed dentists to use the patient’s own fragment to restore the fractured tooth. The present case report describes management of a complicated fracture of maxillary right central incisor treated endodontically, followed by reattachment of the same fragment using fiber post. Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments offers a viable restorative alternativ...

Endodontically treated teeth with excessive loss of tooth structure would require to be restored with post and core to enhance the strength and durability of the tooth and to achieve retention for the restoration. The non-metallic posts have a superior aesthetic quality. Various core build-up materials can be used to build-up cores on the posts placed in endodontically treated teeth. These mate...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. Fractured anterior teeth are usually treated with conventional post and core and crown techniques, after being treated endodontically. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. Fiber-reinforced post makes the reattach...
