background: reinforcement of root canals obturated with resilon was reported by several investigators, but no studies reported the reinforcement of overtly fl ared root canals obturated with resilon material. the aim of this study was to investigate the fracture resistance of overtly fl ared root canals fi lled with resilon as compared to similar root canals fi lled with gutta-percha (gp). mate...

Completion of root development takes around 3 years after eruption of permanent teeth. Any pulpal injury in this period can lead to necrosis of pulp. Pulp necrosis of immature permanent teeth may impair root development and apical closure of root canals. Management of immature non vital teeth is very challenging for a clinician because teeth may have wide open apex and thin root canal walls tha...

A constitutive model for the stress-strain relationship of single forest root system was developed in order to provide theoretical foundations for the mechanisms of soil-reinforcement by root system and offer a reliable basis for the analysis of root tensile strength character. This study started a general form of linear and non-linear stress-strain relation that was mathematically defined by f...

Intra-radicular loss of tooth structure in endodontically treated teeth poses a challenge. Available methods for treatment are cast post-core, intra-radicular resin reinforcement using composite resin followed by placement of prefabricated metal/fibre post (glass or carbon).This study is an attempt to investigate the validity of treatment of such teeth using above methods and evaluate which pos...
