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...

objective: introduction of fiber-reinforced composites (frc) greatly enhanced the restoration of fractured anterior teeth. the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of fiber reinforcement on fracture resistance of incisal edge composite restorations of variable thicknesses. methods: forty extracted sound human maxillary incisors were divided into four groups of 10. incisal reduction wa...

introduction: the restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a topic that has been studied extensively but it is still a challenge for dental practitioners. the aim of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance, fracture patterns and fracture location of endodontically treated human maxillary premolars restored with direct and indirect composite resin and ceramic restoration. methods: e...

objective: one of the major problems of all ceramic restorations is their probable fracture against the occlusal force. the aim of the present in-vitro study is was to compare the effect of two marginal designs (chamfer & shoulder) on the fracture resistance of zirconia copings, cercon (cad/cam). materials and methods : this in vitro study was done with single blind experimental technique. one ...

bacterial leakage and root fractures are the most important reasons of root canal treatment failure. due to the lack of adhesion of gutta percha to the canal walls, resilon has been introduced as a root-filling material able to bond to the root walls. metal posts may predispose the tooth walls to oblique and vertical fracture which usually leads to tooth loss; whereas, fiber posts may reinforce...

Introduction: Since preserving the structure of treated teeth is a critical success factor, studying the effects of tooth structure loss on fracture resistance of the tooth tissue appears necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the consequences of the loss of different tissues regarding fracture resistance of teeth undergoing root canal treatment without the use of indirect restoration...
