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...

this paper presents the new geochemical isotopes sr and nd, and the mineralization data for the south neyshabour volcanic rocks located in ne iran. based on the chemical classifications, the studied rocks are basaltic trachy andesite, trachy andesite, trachyte, and trachy dacite in composition. all the analyzed volcanic rocks display enrichment in light rare earth elements (lree) relative to th...

background: the 5% to 25% prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) during life-time can cause irrefutable harms an individuals and society. this research carried out to examine or not eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (emdr) treatment can improve ptsd symptoms. materials and methods: 71 patients (56 females and 15 males) have been selected randomly. demographic and kind o...

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...
