statement of problem: currently there are three recognized theories about the diameter of prepared dowel space in endodontically treated teeth. diameter of the dowel is commonly contributed to the root fracture. purpose: this study used a 3 dimensional (3d) finite element method to predict stress distribution in endodontically treated central maxillary tooth with cast post and core with various...

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: the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of storage time and conditions on dimensional stability of acrylic patterns. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, a cylindrical shaped metallic post-core was fabricated. impressions were made from this metallic model and 30 samples were prepared with duralay acrylic resin. the specimens were divided into three...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate growth rate of aortic diameter true lumen, and false lumen in post endovascular aortic repair of aortic dissection. MATERIAL AND METHOD Between January 2005 and September 2010, 48 consecutive patients with aortic dissection were followed with computed tomographic angiography (CTA), including 18 post-surgical repaired type A patients and 30 type B (14 conservative treatme...

This study compared the resistance to removal by traction of abraded cylindrical metal cast posts of Cu-Al (Goldent-LA). The posts had constant length (9 mm) and three different diameters (0.9, 1.3 and 1.7 mm), and were cemented with zinc phosphate cement. The crowns of 36 sound maxillary canines were sectioned, the roots were immersed in resin blocks and the root canals were endodontically tre...
