Objectives: The aim of this literature review was to analyze the root canal shape of human teeth described in anatomical studies as recent wide use of fiber posts resulted in a new interest for the anatomy of coronal and middle portions of the canal, where post-space should be prepared, in order to achieve the best fiber post fitting to the post-space. Material and methods Original scientific p...

The aim of this study was to analyse the stress distribution in maxillary canines restored with different post systems and definitive crowns. The models of restored teeth with glass fiber, quartz fiber, titanium posts and crowns were developed with the Finite Element Method (FEM) in order to analyse their stress distribution when subjected to external compressive loads. Von Mises stress distrib...

The purpose of this study was to compare regional bond strength at middle and cervical thirds of the root canal among glass fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) endodontic posts luted with different cements, using the push-out test. To compare the performance (retention) of two types of luting cements polycarboxylat cement and Glass ionomer cement used to cement translucent fibre post. and To compa...

Background and aim: Studies as to the evaluation of clinically relevant color assessment of full ceramic restorations supported by esthetic post and core materials has not been found in the related literature. Thus, this study is conducted to evaluate the color difference of Empress 2 ceramic crowns restored with 4 different esthetic post systems and two different core materials by using colori...

Introduction: Post and core has been considered for endodontically treated tooth, especially in cases with severe damage crowns. Recently fiber reinforced composite posts (FRC post) have been used in the treatment of endodontically treated teeth. Because the length and diameter of posts are effective in stress distribution, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of length and diame...

This study is a quantitative assessment of the luminous energy transmitted through different translucent fiber posts. After embedding the posts in black resin, the blocks were submitted to sequential cuts in a precision machine, and depths of 16 mm, 12 mm, 8 mm, and 4 mm were assessed for light transmission with a digital photometer. The quantitative analysis showed significant differences betw...
