[PMID: 38828307 PMCID: PMC11140703 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Dentists utilize various techniques and materials for post and core restoration of endodontically treated teeth, which remains a noteworthy health concern and can be addressed through interdisciplinary strategies to enhance outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the technical quality of the residual gutta-percha (GP) and posts by analysing the periapical radiographs of endodontically restored teeth. Methods A total of 594 periapical digital radiographs were evaluated for tooth type, post material, post shape, design, diameter, length, residual GP, GP length, GP tapering, GP homogeneity, and final restoration. Frequency distribution and cross-tabulation of the variables were performed. Results Maxillary molars had the highest frequency of restorations, including posts, accounting for 27.4 %, followed by maxillary premolars (25.4 %) and maxillary anterior teeth (19.2 %). The prefabricated metallic posts were most commonly used (81.0 %), among these, 50.4 % were screwed posts. Tapered posts were the most commonly used (65.6 %). The percentage of posts with an acceptable length was 58.2 %. The most commonly used posts exhibited a width of one-third of the root diameter, accounting for 87.0 %. Suitable GP lengths were observed in 61.1 % of the restorations, and 62.8 % demonstrated adequate GP homogeneity. The findings of this study revealed that crown restoration accounted for 42.6 % of the studied sample. Conclusions The technical quality of the remaining GP after restoration was comparable to that of previous epidemiological investigations. However, the technical quality of the post was deemed suboptimal.

J Prosthet Dent 2024:S0022-3913(24)00055-6. [PMID: 38402134 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2024.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The influence of the ferrule thickness and post materials on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth remains unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate the influence of post material and ferrule thickness on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated mandibular premolars. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-four extracted and endodontically treated mandibular first premolars were used and divided into 4 test groups (n=16) depending on the ferrule thickness: F-0: without a ferrule, F-0.5: with a 0.5-mm ferrule thickness, F-1: with a 1-mm ferrule thickness, and F-1.5: with a 1.5-mm ferrule thickness. In groups with ferrules, the height ranged from 2 mm buccally/lingually to 1 mm proximally. Teeth in subgroups (n=8) were restored with either prefabricated glass fiber (FF) or titanium posts (FT) (ISO size 70 and length of 7.5 mm) and then adhesively restored with composite resin foundation materials. After foundation procedures, each specimen was restored with a cobalt chromium crown which was cemented with glass-ionomer cement. All specimens were subjected to dynamic loading in a masticatory simulator for 1 200 000 loading cycles with a nominal load of 5 Kg at 1.2 Hz and simultaneous thermocycling (5 to 55 °C). Specimens were then quasistatically loaded at 30 degrees in a universal testing machine until fracture. Fracture loads were analyzed by using 2-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey honestly significant difference test (α=.05). RESULTS Fracture loads ranged from 610 ±45 N (no ferrule - glass fiber post) to 1216 ±169 N (1.5 mm ferrule thickness - glass fiber post). A statistically significant increase in fracture resistance was observed with increasing ferrule thickness (P<.001). However, post materials did not show a statistically significant influence (P=.977). CONCLUSIONS Under the conditions of this laboratory study, increasing the ferrule thickness had a significant effect on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth after thermomechanical fatigue, irrespective of post materials.

JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND BIOALLIED SCIENCES 2024; 16:S254-S257. [PMID: 38595510 PMCID: PMC11000996 DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_483_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Maxillary molar endodontic treatments require the right post and core system. This study tested cast metal, glass fiber with composite resin, carbon fiber with composite resin, and zirconia post and core materials. Materials and Methods Sixty removed human maxillary teeth were randomly divided into four post and core material groups (n = 15 per group). The teeth acquired their post and core system after normal endodontic treatment. Fracture resistance, cyclic fatigue resistance, and microleakage analyses were statistically assessed. Results The zirconia post and core material had the highest fracture resistance (mean: 900 N), followed by carbon fiber with composite resin, cast metal, and glass fiber with composite resin. Zirconia had the highest mean cycles to failure (120,000), followed by carbon fiber with composite resin (100,000), cast metal (110,000), and glass fiber with composite resin (90,000). Zirconia had the lowest mean microleakage score (1.8), and glass fiber with composite resin, the highest (3.0). Conclusion The zirconia post and core material outperformed the others in fracture resistance, cyclic fatigue resistance, and sealing. The cast metal has better fracture and cycle fatigue resistance than glass fiber with composite resin. These findings help doctors choose maxillary molar endodontic post and core materials.

Abstract
Statement of problem Post and core (PC) restoration has been widely used to restore endodontically treated teeth. Nevertheless, bibliometric studies focusing on PC research are lacking. Purpose The purpose of this bibliometric analysis was to review the general situation and determine the research direction of PC restoration by means of visualization, including the time development, countries, institutions, authors, journals, research categories, and the information of references with the strongest citation burst. Material and methods The search was carried out within the topic field of the Web of Science (WoS) database. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R language were used to analyze the literature. Bibliometric indicators in terms of title, keyword, reference, publication time, institution, country and citation information were analyzed. Results Between 1966 and 2022, dental research on PC trended upward, especially in 2011 and up to 2022. Scholars in Brazil, the United States, and Italy actively participated in PC research. The country that published the most was Brazil. Italy both ranked first in the H-index and average citations per item and had cooperative relations with several countries. The United States ranked first in the world in total citation count. The University of Siena published the most articles. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (JPD) was the major contributing journal. The top three authors in this field were Ferrari M, Goracci C and Naumann M. The largest cooperative network of authors consisted of four Italian scholars. There were six main clusters of research topics on PC through CiteSpace co-citations. In addition, CiteSpace co-citations, CiteSpace Burst detection and VOSviewer keyword analysis showed the most important research interests, such as bond strength, fiber post, fracture resistance, and finite element analysis. Photodynamic therapy is the latest research hotspot. Finally, there were the top 25 references with the strongest citation bursts, which mainly focused on four aspects, namely, studies related to fiber posts, PC bonding strength, finite element analysis, and residual teeth and the ferrule effect. Conclusions This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of PC research, including the research time, country, institution, author, journal, article clustering, article keywords, and important literature analysis, so that researchers can have a clear understanding of the research situation in this field.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The success of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is influenced by factors that include the use of prefabricated glass fiber posts. A consideration for success is the presence of a circumferential ferrule, but systematic reviews and meta-analyses are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the impact of the presence or absence of a circumferential ferrule on the survival and success rates of ETT restored with prefabricated fiber posts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a comprehensive search of the major scientific literature databases was conducted. Eligible studies included randomized clinical trials and prospective cohort studies with a minimum 6-month follow-up, focusing on ETT restored with fiber posts either with or without a uniform circumferential ferrule. Relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to compare outcomes. The degree of variability among studies was assessed using the chi-squared test (α=.05). RESULTS Of 3731 identified records, 8 were eligible for inclusion. Direct analysis of success rates (2 studies, 123 teeth) showed a significant increase in success when a uniform circumferential ferrule was present (RR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.54, P<.05). However, indirect analysis of survival and success rates (8 studies, 407 teeth) indicated no significant differences in outcomes between the ferrule and no ferrule groups (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis determined that a uniform circumferential ferrule had a positive effect on the success rates of ETT restored with prefabricated fiber posts. However, further high-quality studies are required to provide more robust evidence and to allow potential confounding factors to be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Once bioceramic sealer (BCS) enters the dentinal tubules, it cannot be reliably removed. BCS-occupied dentinal tubules reduce fibre post retention strength. Coating gutta-percha with BCS only on the apical portion may improve post retention strength due to increased retention strength between the dentin and resin cement interface. The aim of the study was to test this hypothesis. METHODS Root canals of 27 extracted human mandibular premolars were instrumented and randomly assigned to three obturation methods: conventional coating (CC), non-coating (NC), and apical coating (AC). The root canals were obturated with gutta-percha to 4 mm from the working length under an operating microscope. After the BCS was completely set, post spaces were prepared, and quartz fibre posts were cemented. The apical 4.5 mm of the roots were removed. Two samples were prepared at the apical, middle, and coronal root levels (one for scanning electron microscope (SEM) study and another for the push out bond strength (PBS) test). After the PBS test, the samples were examined with a stereo microscope to determine the failure mode: dentine-cement (DC), post-cement (PC) and mixed. The PBS data were analysed by One way ANOVA for the specific obturation method effects. Repeated ANOVA was used for the specific effects of the root levels on PBS in different obturation methods. RESULTS At all three root levels, more continuous hybrid layers and denser resin tags were found in the NC and AC than the CC group. The AC and NC groups' PBS was significantly higher than the CC group at the apical 1/3 (p = 0.002 and p = 0.001) and coronal 1/3 (p = 0.016 and p = 0.041). The PBS in the CC group at the middle 1/3 was significantly higher than the apical 1/3 (p = 0.022). DC failure mode was most commonly found in the CC group, while PC failure mode was found most frequently in the NC and AC groups. CONCLUSIONS The apical coating obturation method significantly increased PBS over the conventional coating method, potentially reducing fiber post dislodgement. However, this study was only preliminary. Clinical studies are required to confirm the results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Different types of intraradicular restorations and their insertion have an impact on teeth biomechanics. This study aimed to analyze the biomechanical behavior of maxillary central incisors restored with glass fiber post (GFP) and cast metal post and core (CMP) subjected to buccolingual and mesiodistal orthodontic forces using the finite element method. METHODS Two models of the maxillary central incisor with periodontal ligament, cortical bone, and trabecular bone were made. One of the models included intraradicular restoration with GFP, whereas, in the other, the incisor was restored with CMP. After creating the tridimensional mesh of finite elements, applying 2 orthodontic forces were simulated: 65 g of buccolingual force and 70 g of mesiodistal force. The forces were applied parallel to the palatal plane in the region of the bracket slot, located 4 mm to the incisal edge. RESULTS The maximum stresses generated in the GFP-restored root were 3.642 × 10-1 MPa and 4.755 × 10-1 MPa from the buccolingual and mesiodistal forces, respectively. Likewise, the stresses in the CMP restored root were 2.777 × 10-1MPa and 3.826 × 10-1MPa. The radicular area with higher stress on both models was located in the cervical third: on the buccal surface when the buccolingual force was applied and on the mesial surface when the mesiodistal force was applied. The highest stress levels were found on the CMP structure. CONCLUSIONS The incisor restored with cast metal post revealed lower stress values transferred to the root than the one restored with GFP. The stresses on the structure of the GFP were lower and more homogeneous than the ones found on the cast metal post. The difference among the stress values in the materials is within a safe margin for using both materials in relation to orthodontic forces.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to review the literature related to the clinical performance and laboratory findings regarding fiber posts, as well as the cementation technique employed with their use. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search was performed using an electronic database, PubMed/Medline, between 2010 and 2023. The terms used were "intra coronal post, fiber post, post cementation, and post length". Titles and abstracts were initially screened, and a full-text assessment was conducted for those that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The reference list of the collected papers was also screened for further relevant citations. RESULTS In this work, 135 potentially eligible studies were analyzed. Titles and abstracts of 90 studies followed the inclusion criteria and were selected for a full-text assessment, resulting in 50 studies selected. Moreover, additional studies from relevant citations were included, totaling 57 studies. CONCLUSION According to the laboratory and clinical studies revised, the survival rate between fiber and prefabricated and cast metal posts was similar, and failures were mainly related to the loss of retention. The intra-canal post length of less than two-thirds of the root length presented successful results when ferrule was present. Furthermore, the ferrule increased the longevity of teeth restored with fiber posts. Additionally, the use of a surface treatment protocol for fiber posts and the adhesive cementation technique both contributed to the clinical success and longevity of the intra-canal post.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Retaining and restoring severely compromised teeth with subcrestal defect extensions or removing and replacing them using implant-supported crowns (ISC) remains controversial, and economic analyses comparing both strategies remain scarce. We performed a cost-time analysis, comparing the expenditures for retaining "unrestorable" teeth using forced orthodontic extrusion and restoration (FOE) versus extraction and ISC, in a clinical prospective cohort study. METHODS Forty-two patients (n = 21 per group) were enrolled from clinical routine at a university into this study. Direct medical and indirect costs (opportunity costs) were assessed for all relevant steps (initial care, active care, restorative care, supportive care) using the private payer's perspective in German healthcare based on a micro-costing approach and/or national fee items. Statistical comparison was performed with Mann-Whitney-U test. RESULTS Patients were followed up for at least one year after initial treatment (n = 40). The drop-out rate was 5% (n = 2). Total direct medical costs were higher for ISC (median: 3439.05€) than FOE (median: 1601.46€) with p<0.001. We observed a higher number of appointments (p = 0.002) for ISC (median: 14.5) in comparison to FOE (median: 12), while cumulatively, FOE patients spent more time in treatment (median: 402.5 min) in comparison to ISC (median: 250 min) with p<0.001, resulting in comparable opportunity costs for both treatment groups (FOE: 304.50€; ISC: 328.98€). CONCLUSIONS ISC generated higher costs than FOE. More in-depth and long-term exploration of cost-effectiveness is warranted. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE ISCs were associated with higher initial medical costs and required more appointments than the restoration of severely compromised teeth after FOE. Treatment time was higher for patients with FOE, resulting in similar opportunity costs for both treatment approaches. Future research needs to investigate long-term cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinical data on retaining extensively damaged teeth using forced orthodontic extrusion followed by restorative rehabilitation are scarce, and economic evaluations are basically absent. A health economic evaluation of this method was performed based on a clinical study. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a convenience sample of individuals recruited from routine care, extensively damaged teeth were orthodontically extruded prior to restoration. Patients were followed up for up to 6 years. The health outcome was tooth retention time. Direct medical, non-medical, and indirect initial and follow-up costs were estimated using the private payer's perspective in German healthcare. Association of initial direct medical treatment costs and cofounding variables was analyzed using generalized linear models. Success and survival were secondary outcomes. RESULTS A total of 35 teeth in 30 patients were followed over a mean ± SD of 49 ± 19 months. Five patients (14%) dropped out during that period. Median initial costs were 1941€ (range: 1284-4392€), median costs for follow-up appointments were 215€ (range: 0-5812€), and median total costs were 2284€ (range: 1453 to 7109€). Endodontic re-treatment and placement of a post had a significant impact on total costs. Three teeth had to be extracted and in three patients orthodontic relapse was observed. The survival and success rates were 91% and 83%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this clinical study, total treatment costs for orthodontic extrusion and subsequent restoration of extensively damaged teeth were considerable. Costs were by large generated initially; endodontic and post-endodontic therapies were main drivers. Costs for retreatments due to complications were limited, as only few complications arose. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The restoration of extensively damaged teeth after forced orthodontic extrusion comes with considerable initial treatment costs, but low follow-up costs. Overall and over the observational period and within German healthcare, costs are below those for tooth replacement using implant-supported crowns.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3583. [PMID: 37688208 PMCID: PMC10489626 DOI: 10.3390/polym15173583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The thinking about metallic replacement has begun in a global context of reducing metallic alloys' use in odontology. Among the materials proposed for their replacement, poly(etheretherketone) may present interesting properties, especially in removable dentures' frames. The purpose of this study is to evaluate fracture resistance of PEEK posts-and-cores compared to non-metallic CAD/CAM materials and fiber glass posts. Forty extracted maxillary central incisors were prepared to receive posts. Samples were divided into four groups depending on whether they had been reconstructed with LuxaCam® PEEK, Enamic®, Numerys GF® or LuxaPost®. Samples were submitted to an oblique compressive test and results were statistically analyzed with ANOVA and Student's tests (or non-parametric tests depending on the conditions). Glass fiber posts and Numerys GF® reveal a significantly higher fracture resistance than LuxaCam® PEEK and Enamic®. No exclusively dental fracture has been noted for the Enamic group, which significantly distinguishes these samples from the three other groups. In our study, it appears that the conception of posts and cores with hybrid ceramic never conducts to a unique tooth fracture. By weighting the results according to the materials used, our data, obtained for the first time on this type of PEEK block, cannot confirm the possibility of using PEEK for inlay-core conception, excepted for specific cases when the material is considered in a patient presenting allergies or systemic disease contraindicating resin or metal.

Madfa AA. Effect of Dental Glass Fiber Posts on Root Stresses and Fracture Behavior of Endodontically Treated Maxillary Central Incisors: A Finite Element Analysis Study. Cureus 2023; 15:e43056.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this work, the influence of glass fiber posts with different designs on the root stress that had endodontic treatment was examined using the finite element method. METHOD Using two distinct materials (metal and glass fiber) and two different prototypes (tapered and parallel-sided), four three-dimensional (3D) finite element models of an upper central incisor were made and studied. Each 3D model received an oblique loading of 100 N. All forces were dispatched as distributed pressure to the aforementioned region. There were no considerations made for potential stresses when performing the endodontic procedure. The endodontic treatment was conducted without taking into account any potential stressors. The root stresses were then recorded. RESULTS The largest tensile stress is often focused at the apical third of the post and post/cement contact, as well as at the coronal third of the root on both the labial and palatal sides of the root, independent of the post's design and material. Restoration of endodontically treated maxillary central incisors with glass fiber posts has been shown to have less stress concentration than titanium posts. Regardless of the post materials employed, the tapered post design generated a higher tensile stress distribution than the parallel side design. CONCLUSIONS Prefabricated fiber posts used in model restoration resulted in more evenly distributed stress and less concentrated stress on the root. Reduction in modulus of elasticity of post materials used generally shows less stress concentration.

Fibre-reinforced Cad/CAM post and cores: The new "gold standard" for anterior teeth with extensive coronal destruction?-A fully digital chairside workflow. Heliyon 2023; 9:e19048. [PMID: 37609410 PMCID: PMC10440520 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives Since one-third of persons suffer a dental trauma, treatment of anterior teeth using post and core (PC) is becoming important. In teeth with extensive destruction, cast PC (CPC) remain the "gold standard", even though they lead to aesthetic impairment and have a mismatching elastic modulus to that of dentin. Prefabricated fibre-reinforced posts have elastic modulus similar to that of dentin but the accuracy of fit and mechanical stability are worse. This study was aimed to evaluate the deviation and mechanical performance of fibre-reinforced CAD/CAM PC (FRPC) fabricated in a fully digital chairside workflow, compared to those of CPC. Methods On 30 teeth, a PC preparation was conducted, and a conventional and digital post impression were taken with an intraoral scanner. Fifteen teeth each were treated with CPC and FRPC, respectively. The deviation was evaluated by superimposing the datasets of the digitalised stone models and digital post impressions. Decementation and root fracture during chewing simulation were analysed by microscopy and X-ray. Statistical analysis was performed by pairwise comparison and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results The median deviation for the "coronal", "middle" and "apical" were 14.5, 18.0 and 113.7 μm, respectively. The pairwise comparison for "coronal"/"middle" showed no significance (p = 0.465), whereas that for "coronal"/"apical" and "middle"/"apical" showed highly significant differences (p < 0.001). After chewing simulation, five decementations and two root fractures were detected for CPC. For FRPC, neither decementation nor root fracture were documented. Significance Within the limitations of this study, FRPC performed significantly better than CPC.

Abstract
The field of dental medicine is constantly evolving and advancing toward minimally invasive techniques. Several studies have demonstrated that bonding to the tooth structure, particularly enamel, yields the most predictable results. In some instances, however, significant tooth loss, pulpal necrosis, or irreversible pulpitis may limit the options available to the restorative dentist. In these cases, placement of a post and core followed by a crown is the preferred treatment option, provided all requirements are met. This literature review provides an overview of the historical development of dental FRC post systems as well as a comprehensive examination of the currently available posts and their bonding requirements. In addition, it offers valuable insights for dental professionals seeking to understand the current state of the field and the prospects of dental FRC post systems.

Abstract
This laboratory study aimed to measure the push-out bond strength of individually formed fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post luted with flowable short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) and to evaluate the influence of post coating with light-cured adhesive. Post spaces (Ø 1.7 mm) were drilled into 20 single-rooted decoronated premolar teeth. Post spaces were etched and treated with light-cured universal adhesive (G-Premio Bond). Individually formed FRC posts (Ø 1.5 mm, everStick) were luted either with light-cured SFRC (everX Flow) or conventional particulate-filled (PFC) dual-cure luting cement (G-CEM LinkForce). Half of the posts from each group were treated with dimethacrylate adhesive resin (Stick Resin) for 5 min before luting. After storage in water for two days, the roots were sectioned into 2 mm thick disks (n = 10/per group). Then, a push-out test-setup was used in a universal testing machine to measure the bond strength between post and dentin. The interface between post and SFRC was inspected using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance ANOVA (p = .05). Higher bond strength values (p < .05) were obtained when flowable SFRC was used as a post luting material. Resin coating of a post showed no significant effect (p > .05) on bond strength values. Light microscope images showed the ability of discontinuous short fibers in SFRC to penetrate into FRC posts. The use of flowable SFRC as luting material with individually formed FRC posts proved to be a promising method to improve the interface adhesion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of ionizing radiotherapy on the resin-dentin interface in endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber posts using a dual-cure resin cement performed with the etch-and-rinse (ER) and self-etch (SE) approaches in terms of push-out bond strength (MPa), and to analyze the post/cement/dentin interface using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-six single-rooted human teeth were used and randomly assigned into two main groups (n = 38): one non-irradiated group (NoRad) and one group subjected to a cumulative radiation dose of 60 Gy (Rad). All root canals were instrumented and were further subdivided into two subgroups (n = 19) following the adhesive approach: ER (RadER; NoRadER) and SE (RadSE; NoRadSE) used for fiber post luting with the universal adhesive and dual cure resin cement. Each root was sectioned perpendicularly to its long axis and sections from the middle third of the roots were chosen for SEM analysis and push-out bond strength test. Two-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey tests and a dummy variable linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. RESULTS Regardless of the adhesive approach, push-out bond strength in irradiated teeth resulted in significantly lower values than non-irradiated teeth (p = 0.0001). There were no significant differences between the ER and SE approaches in non-irradiated teeth (p = 0.955), whereas the ER approach showed significantly higher bond strengths than the SE approach in irradiated teeth (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Ionizing radiotherapy resulted in dentin structure disruption and negatively affected the push-out bond strength of fiber posts to intraradicular dentin. The reduction in bond strength was also more significant with the SE approach than with the ER approach. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The alterations resulting from root dentin irradiation seem to influence adhesive systems bond strength to dentin, as these changes contribute to lower push-out bond strength in irradiated groups before fiber post luting. Thus, clinicians should prepare patients with a reasonable restorative treatment plan prior to radiotherapy and simultaneously initiate a preventive program during radiotherapy.

Abstract
The aim of this laboratory study was to evaluate the pull-out force of a prefabricated fiberglass post (PP), relined fiberglass post (RP), or milled fiberglass post (MP) luted with Multilink N (MN), RelyX Unicem 2 (RXU2) or RelyX Ultimate (RU) to enlarged root canals. The thickness of the resin cements and the presence of voids in the resin cement film were observed. The root canals of 90 bovine incisors were enlarged, endodontically treated, and randomly divided into 9 groups (n=10) according to the post type and resin cement. The specimens were scanned using micro-CT to analyze the thickness of the resin cement and the presence of voids. The specimens were submitted to mechanical cyclic loading (500,000 cycles at 50 N load) and subjected to pull-out force testing. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test analyzed the pull-out force and resin cement thickness data. Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni tests analyzed the void scores. The interaction between factors (post x resin cement) was significant (p=0.0001) for the pull-out force. Higher pull-out forces were obtained for RP and MP compared to PP. The post factor was significant (p=0.0001) for resin cement thickness, which was higher for PP (1054 μm), followed by MP (301 μm) and RP (194 μm). More void formation occurred for PP, being less for RP, differing significantly among the posts. Post customization (RP and MP) decreased resin cement thickness and void formation, favoring a higher pull-out force. Resin cements requiring an adhesive application (MN and RU) favored higher pull-out force than self-adhesive resin cement (RXU2).

Abstract
Objectives Application of matrix metalloproteinases inhibitors has been suggested to improve the durability of resin–dentin bonding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), carbodiimide (EDC), and chlorhexidine (CHX) treatment on the push‐out bond strength of fiber posts to radicular dentin. Materials and Methods 24 extracted premolars were assigned randomly to 4 groups after root canal treatment and post space preparation (n = 6). In the first, second, and third groups, radicular dentin was treated with 1 ml of 5% DMSO, 0.3 M EDC, and 2% CHX, respectively. The fourth group (control) received no treatment. The root canals were primed with ED primer II, and the fiber posts were cemented with Panavia F2.0. In each group, half of the specimens were subjected to the push‐out test and the other half to 3000 thermal cycles before testing. Data were analyzed using two‐way analysis of variance via SPSS version 20 (p < .05). Results Among the nonthermocycled specimens, the values of push‐out bond strength were observed in the control, EDC, CHX, and DMSO groups, in decreasing order. Among the thermocycled specimens, the values were observed in the control, EDC, DMSO, and CHX groups in decreasing order. Thermocycling had a significant adverse effect on the push‐out bond strength (p = .015), but the effect of material (p = .375), and the interaction effect of material and thermocycling (p = .998) were not significant. Conclusions Application of CHX, DMSO, and EDC had no significant effect on the bond strength of fiber posts to radicular dentin.

Abstract
Vertical root fracture (VRF) is a common reason for the extraction of root filled teeth. The accurate diagnosis of VRF may be challenging due to the absence of clinical signs, whilst conventional radiographic assessment is often inconclusive. However, an understanding of the aetiology of VRFs, and more importantly, the key predisposing factors, is crucial in identifying teeth that may be susceptible. Thorough clinical examination with magnification and co-axial lighting is essential in identifying VRFs, and although CBCT is unable to reliably detect VRFs per se, the pattern of bone loss typically associated with VRF can be fully appreciated, and therefore, increases the probability of correct diagnosis and management. The prevalence of VRFs in root filled teeth is significantly greater than in teeth with vital pulps, demonstrating that the combination of loss of structural integrity, presence of pre-existing fractures and biochemical effects of loss of vitality, are highly relevant. Careful assessment of the occlusal scheme, presence of deflective contacts and identification of parafunctional habits is imperative in both preventing and managing VRFs. Furthermore, anatomical factors such as root canal morphology, may predispose certain teeth to VRF. The influence of access cavity design and root canal instrumentation protocols should be considered although the impact of these on the fracture resistance of root filled teeth is not clearly validated. The post-endodontic restoration of root filled teeth should be expedient and considerate to the residual tooth structure. Posts should be placed 'passively' and excessive 'post-space' preparation should be avoided. This narrative review aims to present the aetiology, potential predisposing factors, histopathology, diagnosis and management of VRF and present perspectives for future research. Currently, there are limited options other than extraction for the management of VRF, although root resection may be considered in multi-rooted teeth. Innovative techniques to 'repair' VRFs using both orthograde and surgical approaches require further research and validation. The prevention of VRFs is critical; identifying susceptible teeth, utilizing conservative endodontic procedures, together with expedient and appropriate post-endodontic restorative procedures is paramount to reducing the incidence of terminal VRFs.

[PMID: 35206160 PMCID: PMC8871862 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19041971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background: To determine the survival rates of endodontically treated posterior teeth (EDPT) restored with partial coverage all-ceramic crowns with or without the use of fiber posts. Methods: MEDLINE and Cochrane searches were conducted in order to identify Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) related to endodontically treated posterior teeth restored with partial coverage crowns. The search period was extended until February 2020 and only in vivo, human, and studies in the English language were included. A manual search was also conducted and additional articles, if found, were included in the database. Results: The initial search for the selected databases identified 495 studies, which were all screened for inclusion through titles, abstracts and full-text reading. Out of these 495 studies, only one article met the eligibility criteria and was included in this systematic review. Statistical analysis could not be performed. Conclusions: Only one RCT was identified in this systematic review. More clinical evidence is necessary to assess the survival rate of EDPT with partial-coverage crowns. This systematic review failed because it did not find scientific evidence to support the use of indirect bonded restorations on EDPT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article provides an updated overview of restorative procedures of endodontically treated teeth. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS The different techniques and procedures to restore an endodontic treated tooth were considered in the last decades. While they are generally performed using bonding procedures in combination with or without the placement of a post into the root to build up the abutment, there has been a lack of interest in restorative difficulties that can be faced. Failures are represented such as debonding of the post, fracture of the root, decementation, and/or fracture of the restoration, microleakage of the margins. Essentially, the presence of a sufficient failure is considered a key point of a long prognosis. Different clinical factors can directly influence the type of restoration and the longevity of the treatment. The restorative difficulty evaluation system (RDES) is proposed in this article. This new system is composed of eight different clinical factors that are divided into six levels of difficulties. The RDES is composed of 1. Endodontic complexity and outcome, 2. Vertical amount of coronal residual structure and dimension of the pulp chamber, 3. Horizontal amount of coronal residual structure, 4. Restoration marginal seal, 5. Local interdisciplinary conditions, 6. the complexity of the treatment planning, 7. Functional need, 8. Dental wear and esthetic need. CONCLUSION This article reviews the RDES and outlines critical steps and tips for clinical success. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The RDES allows to any clinician to evaluate restorative difficulties when an endodontic treated tooth must be restored, combines clinical aspects that can involve from the single tooth to a full mouth rehabilitation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Outcome predictors for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth mainly include cavity wall integrity and the presence of a 1.5-2 mm ferrule. However, in some clinical situations, the aforementioned predictors cannot be achieved. Three different techniques have been proposed to obtain an adequate ferrule respecting the supracrestal tissue attachment: surgical crown lengthening, orthodontic forced eruption, and surgical extrusion. There are little published prospective data evaluating periodontal changes after surgical extrusion. Therefore, the aims of this study were to report the outcome of surgical extrusion in single-rooted teeth, to digitally evaluate soft tissue volumetric changes after surgical extrusion, and to observe patient satisfaction regarding the treatment after a minimum of 1 year. METHODS This prospective clinical study was performed between 2017 and 2020. Thirteen patients referred for surgical extrusion met the following inclusion criteria: nonsmokers; systemically healthy with at least 1 straight, single-rooted tooth with an insufficient ferrule; a favorable tooth crown-to-root ratio, and no periodontal pathology. Preoperative clinical variables included patient age, sex and phenotype, tooth number, tooth mobility, crown-to-root ratio, gingival index (GI), probing pocket depths at 6 sites, bleeding on probing (BOP), and mesial and distal interproximal papillae volume. Surgical extrusion was performed by a single operator who completed the root canal treatment/retreatment and restored the teeth with a crown. One year later, all patients were controlled, and the following variables were recorded: tooth mobility, crown-to-root ratio, GI, pocket depth, BOP, interproximal papillae aspect, soft tissue rebound, periapical healing, marginal bone loss, and patient-reported outcome measures of the treatment. All variables were analyzed using a descriptive method (mean, %). The Wilcoxon test was used to evaluate pre- and postoperative clinical parameters at a significance level of .05. RESULTS At a mean follow-up period of 18.8 months, no teeth were extracted. Compared with preoperative GI and BOP, a significant reduction was observed at 1 year after surgery. Likewise, no significant differences in probing depths were shown, and only 1 tooth presented a type 2 mobility. The mean soft tissue rebound was -0.46 ± 0.69 mm. Overall, no significant interproximal papillae height loss was observed.Apical lesions were completely healed after surgery. The tooth crown-to-root ratio was favorable in all cases before extrusion, whereas in 3 cases it was appropriate (1 = 1), and only 1 case presented >25% of marginal bone loss during the follow-up period. The reported success rate was 92.3%, and patients were generally satisfied with the outcome. CONCLUSIONS Surgical extrusion of single-rooted teeth was successful with minimal or no soft tissue loss, and patients were satisfied with the surgical procedure and the esthetic result.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the influence of height and thickness of the one wall remaining coronal tooth structure on the fracture resistance of an endodontically treated root with resin abutment build-up using resin composite and fiber-reinforced resin composite post. Static and dynamic fracture tests were performed by placing the remaining tooth wall on the tensile side and applying loads at an angle of 30° from the tooth axis. Superior static fracture resistance was observed when the wall remaining on the tooth had a height and thickness greater than 1.0 mm. The dynamic fatigue test showed high loading capacity or fracture resistance in specimens with large height and thickness. The dynamic fatigue test showed the influence of the remaining tooth structure on fracture resistance clearly. In conclusion, the static and dynamic fracture resistances increased with the height and thickness of the one wall remaining tooth structure.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of different bonding systems (BSs) with various polymerization modes and root canal regions on the bond strength of core build-up resin composite to dentin.Methods Post cavities were prepared in the roots of 54 bovine teeth. Three types of BS with various polymerization modes (light, chemical, and dual-cure) were applied to the walls of the cavities, which were subsequently filled with core build-up resin composite, and stored in 37°C water for 7 days. Each tooth was then sectioned perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth into 9-disk from the coronal to the apical side. Bond strengths were measured on two-thirds of the disks, while dye penetration was examined in the remaining third.Results Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the bond strengths of BSs with different polymerization modes, indicating chemical-cured BS had higher bond strength than light-cured BS. The chemical-cured BS group showed cohesive failure in both resin composite and dentin regardless of the root canal region, while adhesive failure was observed in the coronal region for dual-cured BS and in the apical region for light-cured BS. Dye penetration was significantly more at the bonding interface at the apical region of the light-cured BS.Conclusions Chemical-cured BS displayed a greater bond strength than light-cured BS. Cohesive failure was observed in both core build-up resin and dentin, indicating that the integration of tooth structure with resin composite was effective for retaining the resin core and sealing the root canal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To synthesise evidence on structural failures and prevalence of post-treatment endodontic disease (PTD) in anterior and posterior root filled teeth with a single crown and adhesively bonded fibre post with regards to the number of axial walls. DATA An electronic search was performed, no language constraints or restriction on the year of publication were applied. SOURCES PubMed, Medline, Cochrane and Scopus on 13th of July 2021. STUDY SELECTION Clinical studies that reported the remaining number of axial walls for permanent anterior and posterior root filled teeth (RFT) restored with single crowns and adhesively bonded fibre posts with a minimum of 1 year follow-up were included. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines [1] were used. The number of axial walls and the success/failures were analysed as follows: fibre post and/or core decementation, post and/or core fracture and post treatment endodontic disease, and root fracture. CONCLUSIONS A total of 811 studies were identified with 5 meeting the inclusion criteria. The two randomized controlled trials included had 'some concerns' as determined by the Cochrane risk-of-bias 2 tool while the Newcastle-Ottawa scale found low risk of bias for the remaining three studies. The random effects model for subgroup meta-analysis revealed failures for posterior RFT increased with decreasing numbers of remaining walls. Failures for 0 remaining walls were 23% (95% CI = 10% - 36%) and for one remaining wall 15% (CI: 3% -26%), irrespective of follow-up times. Fibre post debonding and PTD increased with decreasing numbers of walls. Relative & catastrophic failure of posterior teeth restored with a fibre post and single crown after root canal treatment increased with decreasing numbers of remaining axial walls. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This synthesis is unique as it minimizes the presence of confounding factors by reviewing evidence of failures and post-treatment endodontic disease associated with teeth restored with single crowns. Therefore, it provides valuable predictive evidence of potential coronal restoration catastrophes and post-treatment endodontic disease associated with root filled teeth.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the 3-dimensional dynamic navigation system (DNS) compared with the freehand technique (FH) when removing fiber posts from root canal-treated teeth. METHODS Twenty-six maxillary teeth were included. Teeth were root canal treated and restored with Parapost Taper Lux (Coltene/Whaledent, Altstätten, Switzerland) luted with RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE, St Paul, MN). A core buildup was then performed using Paracore (Coltene/Whaledent). Teeth were mounted in tissue-denuded cadaver maxillae. Teeth were divided into 2 groups: the DNS group (n = 13) and the FH group (n = 13). Cone-beam computed tomographic scans were taken pre- and postoperatively. The drilling path and depth were planned virtually using X-guide software (X-Nav Technologies, Lansdale, PA) in both groups. For the DNS group, drilling was guided with X-Nav software and the FH group under a dental operating microscope. Global coronal and apical deviations, angular deflection, operation time, and the number of mishaps were compared between the groups to determine the accuracy and efficiency. The 3-dimensional volume (mm3) of all teeth was calculated before and after post removal using the Mimics Innovation Suite (Materialise NV, Leuven, Belgium). The Shapiro-Wilk, 1-way analysis of variance, and Fisher exact tests were used (P < .05). RESULTS The DNS group showed significantly less global coronal and apical deviations and angular deflection than the FH group (P < .05). DNS required less operation time than FH. Moreover, the DNS technique had significantly less volumetric loss of tooth structure than the FH technique (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The DNS was more accurate and efficient in removing fiber posts from root canal-treated teeth than the FH technique.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the cementation and mechanical behavior of flared root canals restored with CAD/CAM milled glass fiber post-and-core systems. Sixty-six endodontically treated human canines with a flared root canal were divided into three different groups according to the type of post: GPF received prefabricated posts; GREL received relined glass fiber posts, and GMILLED received CAD/CAM milled glass fiber posts. Cementation was performed with self-adhesive resin cement. The samples were submitted to x-ray microcomputed tomography analysis for the analysis of voids and gaps. The roots were sectioned and submitted to the push-out bond strength test. The load-to-fracture was evaluated in post-and-core systems. GMILLED presented lower void and lower gap volumes when compared to GPF and GREL. On the load-to-fracture test, GREL presented statistically significant higher values than GMILLED. GPF values had no statistically significant difference from the two other groups. On the push-out bond strength test, GPF presented statistically significant lower values when compared to GREL and GMILLED. The most common failure pattern was between dentin and cement in all groups. CAD/CAM milled glass fiber post-and-core systems presented an enhanced adaptation of glass fiber posts to flared root canal systems. Their results were comparable to relined posts in bond strength, while load-to-fracture-results for GMILLED were lower than those for GPF.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the post space volume changes following removal of glass fiber posts in endodontically treated teeth by using erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser to the conventional ultrasonic method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve single-root human extracted teeth were cut into 13 mm near cementoenamel junction (CEJ), and then underwent endodontic treatment. The post spaces were prepared to 8 mm in length. Glass fiber posts were inserted with self-curing resin cement. Specimens were randomly assigned to laser or ultrasonic methods for their post removal. Post space volumes were measured using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) before post cementation and after post removal. Dentin thickness was measured after post removal at coronal, middle, and apical third of the root canal space. Paired t-test and t-test were used to compare space volumes between before post cementation and after post removal, and between laser and ultrasonic groups, respectively. RESULTS Six specimens were tested for each group. The average volume change was 6.499 mm3 in laser and 7.418 mm3 in ultrasonic method. There was not a significant difference between laser and ultrasonic group in respect of post space volume changes (p = 0.71). Both methods showed significant volume increase following post removal (p < 0.05). Significantly less dentin was lost when laser was used for post removal in the coronal portion of the post space (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Er,Cr:YSGG laser can be used as effective option, comparable to the conventional ultrasonic method when removing posts in endodontically treated teeth. Laser has the potential to provide conservative post removal.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate different direct restoration techniques on various cavity designs in anterior endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Materials and methods Ninety upper central incisors (n = 90) were selected, endodontically treated, and divided into three groups (n = 30) accordingly to the cavity design: minimal endodontic cavity access (group A), endodontic access + mesial class III cavity (group B), and endodontic access + two class III cavities (group C). Three subgroups (n = 10) were then created accordingly to the restoration technique: nano hybrid composite restoration (subgroup a), glass fiber post + dual-cure luting cement (subgroup b), and bundled glass fiber + dual-cure luting cement (subgroup c). Samples underwent micro-CT scan, chewing simulation, and a second micro-CT scan. 3D quantification (mm3) of interfacial gap progression was performed; then, samples underwent fracture resistance test. Data were statistically analyzed setting significance at p < 0.05. Results Groups A and B showed significantly lower interfacial gap progression compared with group C. Subgroup b performed significantly better compared with subgroups a and c. Improved fracture strength was reported for group C compared with group A, while both subgroups b and c performed better than subgroup a. Conclusions Cavity design significantly influenced interfacial gap progression and fracture resistance. Fiber posts significantly lowered gap progression and improved fracture resistance while bundled fibers only increased fracture resistance. A significant reduction of non-repairable fractures was recorded when fibers were applied. Clinical relevance A minimally invasive approach, conserving marginal crests, should be applied whenever possible. Inserting a fiber post is indicated when restoring anterior ETT, in order to reduce gap progression, improve fracture resistance, and avoid catastrophic failures.

Abstract
Purpose:
To examine current decision-making preferences of Jordanian dentists when Restoring Root Filled Teeth (RFT).
Materials and Methods:
834 Jordanian general dentists, prosthodontists and endodontists were invited to participate in a validated online survey with a 62% participation rate. Respondents were invited to answer 24 questions about their preferences for techniques and materials they use to restore RFT. The questions aimed at exploring restorative strategies commonly employed by Jordanian dentists when managing root filled teeth with extensive loss of tooth structure.
Results:
A minority of dentists consider direct resin restoration as the sole restoration for RFT with extensive loss of tooth structure. Full coverage metal-ceramic and all-ceramic crowns are more popular than endocrowns when restoring RFT with indirect restoration. Fiber posts are the most popular type of posts, followed by prefabricated metal posts. Glass ionomer is the most preferred cement for luting metal posts, while conventional dual resin cement with separate etch and rinse bonding strategy is the most employed when bonding fiber posts. The majority of dentists tend not to pretreat fiber posts. Loss of post/core retention or fracture of coronal tooth structure are the two most common reasons observed by dentists when RFT fail.
Conclusion:
Use of post and core is still preferred over more conservative approaches when restoring RFT with extensive loss of coronal tooth structure. Longevity of restorations can be enhanced by training practicing dentists on evidence-based adhesive strategies.

Comparison of stress distribution in teeth restored with fiber post and dentin post by applying orthotropic properties: A three-dimensional finite element analysis. J Conserv Dent 2021; 23:589-592.

Abstract
Aim of the Study We aimed to compare stress distribution in a tooth restored with fiber post and dentin post after applying the orthotropic properties using three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA). Materials and Methods Two 3D-FEA models were constructed. The material properties were assigned, and a load of 100 N was applied at 45° to the long axis of the model onto the lingual surface incisal to the cingulum. The FEA was done by applying orthotropic properties of dentin and fiber post. The maximum stresses produced in the tooth and post referred to as von Mises stress were recorded. The Ansys software was used which depicts the stress concentrations. Results Von Mises values showed that glass fiber post (331 MPa) and dentin post (338 MPa)-restored tooth models presented similar stress values. Conclusion Although both fiber post and dentin post presented similar von Mises stress values, the pattern of stress distribution is more favorable in dentin post. More favorable fracture could be expected in case of dentin post. Thus, the dentin post is a promising alternative post material for rehabilitating endodontically treated teeth. Clinical Significance Ascribing the orthotropic properties in a FEA study means that the computational simulation was similar to that of clinical scenario, and hence simulates the dynamic intraoral conditions, thereby giving the accurate results.

Longevity and Risk Factors of Post Restorations after up to 15 Years: A Practice-based Study. J Endod 2020; 47:577-584. [PMID: 33091454 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2020.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 09/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aims of this multicenter, practice-based cohort study were to evaluate the success and survival of endodontically treated teeth with post restorations (ETT+Ps) and to analyze factors associated with the longevity of ETT+Ps. METHODS Eight general dental practitioners each placed up to 27 ETT+Ps without any restriction to post materials or dimensions. Only incisors, canines, and premolars were included. At the last follow-up visit, ETT+Ps were considered as successful if the post and the initially placed definitive restoration were sufficient, whereas ETT+Ps were considered as survived if the post was still in function. Multilevel Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between a range of predictors and time until no success and no survival. RESULTS Overall, 195 endodontic posts in 195 patients were followed up for a mean (95% confidence interval) of 91 (81-101) months; the longest follow-up was 15 years. Of these, 122 ETT+Ps were considered successful (estimated success time = 110 [101-120] months), and 152 ETT+Ps survived [estimated survival time = 133 [124-141] months). Regarding the categories of success and survival, the annual failure rates were 6.0% and 3.3%, respectively. Recementation of old (telescopic) crowns after placing new posts was the only significant predictor for decreased time until failure for both success and survival analyses. By excluding recemented restorations, annual failure rates decreased to 3.5% and 2.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS For EET+Ps placed in a private practice setting, high success and survival rates were observed. If old (telescopic) crowns were recemented after new posts were placed, the high risk of subsequent failure should be considered and communicated with patients.

Abstract
Adhesion science is one of the greatest contributions to restorative dentistry. Adhesion not only established the current principles of tissue preservation, but also allowed for the production of more hermetic and long-lasting restorations. Although adhesive strategies are routinely used in most clinical situations, adhesion to root dentin is still a major challenge. The presence of humidity together with less intertubular dentin are factors that limit the adhesive potential of root dentin. This situation is more unfavorable in endodontically treated teeth prepared for prefabricated or custom-made intraradicular posts; these procedures may alter the mechanical properties of teeth by modifying the viable dentin surface for adhesion. Also, contaminants deposited on the dentin surface are difficult to remove through conventional techniques. Moreover, root canal morphology has a very unfavorable C-factor, bringing undesirable effects resulting from polymerization contraction of resin-based materials. However, the differences between coronal and root dentin are not a barrier for dentin adhesion. Standardization of procedures and care during clinical steps are fundamental to the success of adhesion to coronal or intraradicular dentin. Thus, it is essential to know the anatomy of the root structure, the factors that interfere with intraradicular adhesion, as well as the current adhesive materials and techniques.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate whether antibacterial pretreatment irrigation with silver nanoparticles (SNPs) and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has any effect on bond strength of fiber posts cemented with three types of resin cements in root canal space. Fifty-four endodontically treated maxillary central incisor roots were prepared for fiber post (FRC Postec Plus NO.3, Ivoclar Vivadent) cementation and divided into nine groups in terms of three cement types and two pretreatments with silver antibacterial agents. The cements were as follows: an etch-and-rinse cement (ER, Excite DSC/Variolink N), a self-etch cement (SE, ED Primer/Panavia F2.0), and a self-adhesive cement (SA, Panavia SA Luting Plus). For each cement, the control group was with no treatment and two experimental groups were with SNPs and SDF treatments that were used after acid-etching for ER cement and after EDTA treatment for SE and SA cements. After fiber post cementation, each bonded root was horizontally sectioned into 1-mm thickness microslices to create two slices for each root region (apical, middle and coronal) and underwent push-out bond strength (PBS) test. Data in MPa were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p=0.05). The interaction of the pretreatment type and cement type was significant (p<0.001). SNPs and SDF significantly increased PBS with ER cement (p≤0.04). This positive effect was also marginally significant for SDF with SE cement (p=0.049). For SA cement, SNPs showed a significant positive effect, but SDF had a significant adverse effect on PBS (p<0.001). The effect of pretreatment with silver antibacterial agents prior to adhesive cementation of fiber posts depends on the resin cement used. Contrary to SNPs with beneficial or no significant effect on bonding for all cements, SDF exhibited a deleterious effect with self-adhesive cement.

Abstract
Objectives We evaluated the initial and follow-up treatment costs of different post-restorations in a practice-based German healthcare setting. Methods A total of 139 incisors, canines, or premolars received post-restorations placed by eight general dental practitioners in Germany, and were followed over a mean ± SD 7.1 ± 4.5 years. Preformed metal (MP, n = 68), glass-fiber (GF, n = 28), or cast post-and-core buildups (MC, n = 23) had been used to retain crowns or bridge anchors. Preformed metal and glass-fiber had also been used to retain directly built up post-retained composite restorations (PC, n = 20). Material and treatment costs for the initial post-restorations as well as restorative, endodontic, or surgical re-treatments were estimated from a public-payer-perspective in Germany. Associations between total and annualized total costs and covariates were assessed using generalized linear modeling. The study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS-ID: DRKS00012938). Results MC showed highest initial treatment costs (557.23 Euro), but the least re-treatments (6/23, 26%), while PC showed lowest initial costs (203.52 Euro) but the most re-treatments (11/20, 55%). Costs for MP/GF post-crowns were initially similarly costly (496.47/496.87 Euro), and both also showed similar re-treatments (35%/36%). The overall annual failure rate was 5.2% (MC: 3.5%, MP: 4.6%, GF: 5.3%, PC: 10.3%). Including costs for the resulting re-treatments, mean total costs were 591.66 Euro (MC), 548.31 Euro (MP), 526.37 Euro (GF), and 361.81 Euro (PC). Annualized total costs were 171.36 Euro (MC), 141.75 Euro (MP), 146.12 Euro (GF), and 135.65 Euro (PC). Total and annualized total costs were highest for MC, with PC being the significantly less costly option (p < 0.001). Conclusions Within German healthcare, both initial and follow-up costs for post-restorations were considerable. Saving costs initially may, at least partially, be offset by more complications long-term. Clinical relevance Dentists need to be aware that the placement of posts is not only initially costly but also comes with significant long-term costs for treating occurring complications. This should be communicated with patients and considered during treatment planning.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to compare the fracture strength, fracture pattern and type of fracture of endodontically treated maxillary lateral incisors restored with new zirconia reinforced rice husk nanohybrid composite.
Material and Methods Eighty mature permanent maxillary lateral incisors from patients age range of 30-60 years with single canal were selected and randomly divided into: Group 1 – RCT + nanofilled composite (Filtek), Group 2 – RCT + microhybrid composite (Zmack), Group 3 – RCT + new nanohybrid composite (Zr-Hybrid) and Group 4 - Intact teeth (control). Standardized mesio-palatal-distal cavity was prepared, and endodontic treatment was carried out using crown-down technique until size 30, tapered 0.04. Obturation was completed using single cone technique with gutta-percha and AH plus sealer. Cavity access was restored with respective composite resins. Next, teeth were stored in incubator for 24 hours and subdivided into aged and unaged subgroups. Teeth in aged subgroups were subjected to 2500 thermal cycles for 5ºC, 37ºC and 55ºC with 30 seconds dwell time and 5 seconds transfer time. After that, root surfaces of teeth were covered with silicone-based material and placed in boxes filled with acrylic until the cemento-enamel-junction (CEJ) level. They were then tested under Universal Testing Machine until fracture occurred. Samples were then viewed under Leica microscope to determine the fracture pattern and type of fracture. Data analyzed using One-way ANOVA complimented by post hoc Tukey HSD and paired sample T test for fracture strength. Fracture pattern and type of fracture were analyzed using Chi-square test. Level of significance was set at p<0.05.
Results Significant differences were observed (p<0.05) with Group 3 demonstrating the highest fracture strength followed by Group 4, Group 1 and lastly Group 2 in both aged and unaged subgroups respectively. A significant decreased in fracture strength was noted in Group 1 and Group 2 (p<0.05) as number of thermocycle increased but no significant differences were noted in Group 3 and Group 4 (p>0.05). Besides, Group 3 and Group 4 showed higher rate of favorable fracture pattern, followed by Group 1 and lastly Group 2. Most favorable fracture pattern was noted to exhibit horizontal fracture type (86.36%), whereas most unfavorable fracture pattern exhibited vertical fracture type (77.78%).
Conclusions Endodontically treated teeth restored with new zirconia reinforced rice husk nanohybrid composite (Zr-Hybrid) demonstrated higher fracture strength than commercialized composite resins especially after artificial ageing. Zr-Hybrid showed similar fracture pattern to those of intact teeth with higher rate of horizontal fracture type. Key words:Fracture strength, fracture pattern, composite resin, rice husk, Zirconia.

Abstract
Background Teeth with internal root resorption (IRR) have guarded prognosis, considering that IRR defect could influence on the post bond strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength and the bond interface between different glass fiber-reinforced posts (FRP) after cementation in teeth with simulated internal root resorption (IRR).
Material and Methods Forty-five (45) human premolar roots with simulated IRR were embedded in acrylic resin blocks and cross-sectioned into two segments, enabling them to be re-approximated by screws. Intracanal medication was inserted for 15-days, removed by passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and examined by stereomicroscopy. The push-out bond strength of two fiber reinforced composite posts (Rebilda Post - RP) and Rebilda Post GT – GT, (VOCO) were evaluated at the cervical and IRR regions (n = 20). And, the bonded interface between resin cement and root dentine was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Results 62.5% of IRR were not completely cleaned by PUI. Bond strength values at the cervical region (9.8 and 14.6 MPa) were higher than the IRR region (6.3 and 4.2 MPa). Micrographies showed bubbles in the cement and spaces in the bonded interface.
Conclusions RP post showed better bond strength at the cervical region while GT had better bond strength at the IRR region. Key words:Endodontics, root canal filling materials, root resorption, X-Ray microtomography.

Abstract
The ferrule is considered to be a key element in teeth preparation when restoring using a fiber post. It helps to resist occlusal forces, maintain cement tightness and minimize stress concentration on restoration using posts.
Aim:
The aim of this review is to determine the influence of the ferrule design in endodontically-treated teeth using fiber posts on their fracture resistance.
Materials and Methods:
The electronic databases examined were Medline, Scopus, and PubMed from April 2019 to October 2019. The studies were selected using well-established inclusion criteria.
Results:
In total, 79 articles were identified, 16 of which were selected after considering the titles and abstracts. After reading the full-text articles, the total number of articles included in this review was 7 with a low risk of bias.
Conclusion:
A full ferrule with a maximum height is the best design for resistance to fractures in all groups of teeth, but if it is impossible to provide this condition, the ferrule height from the palatal/lingual wall of the tooth should be increased.
The PROSPERO ID: 153543.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of carbodiimide (EDC) and chlorhexidine (CHX) on the bond strength (BS) of resin cement to root dentine of teeth submitted to radiotherapy. METHODOLOGY One hundred and twenty extracted maxillary canines were selected and assigned to 2 groups (n = 60): nonirradiated and irradiated (30 cycles of 2 Gy, total 60 Gy). Roots lengths were standardized, and canals were prepared and filled. Post spaces were then prepared, and the samples were redistributed according to dentine treatment (n = 20): saline solution (SF); CHX 2%; or EDC 0.5M. After drying the post space, fibreglass posts were cemented. Cross-sectioned slices were obtained, and in half of the specimens of each subgroup (n = 10), the analysis was performed immediately; the others (n = 10) were stored for 10 months before analyses. The most cervical slice of each third was subjected to a push-out test and failure pattern analysis (n = 10), and the most apical slice submitted to the analysis of the adhesive interface by SEM (n = 5). The bond strength data were submitted to anova and Tukey tests, the adhesive interface adaptation was submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests, and the Chi-square test was used to evaluate the type of failure. RESULTS The irradiated specimens had significantly lower bond strength (13.8 ± 4.3) than the nonirradiated (18.1 ± 3.1; P < 0.001). For the irradiated teeth, the bond strengths were significantly lower in the SF and CHX groups (P < 0.001). Also, the bond strengths reduced significantly after 10 months in the SF and CHX groups (P < 0.001). Cohesive failures occurred in dentine for irradiated specimens. Poorer interface adaptation, dentine fractures and microfractures were observed in irradiated specimens, and better adaptation was observed for specimens after EDC treatment. CONCLUSIONS Radiotherapy was associated with lower bond strength and worse interface adaptation. Dentine treatment with EDC contributed to adhesive interface longevity during the cementation of glass fibre posts in nonirradiated and irradiated teeth.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the times and temperatures used to remove a glass fiber post from an endodontically treated tooth using erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) compared to conventional endodontic ultrasonic method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four single-root human extracted teeth were endodontically treated ex vivo. The post space was prepared to 7 mm in depth and a 11.4 mm glass fiber post was cemented using composite resin cement. Specimens were kept in 100% humidity for 24 hours and then randomly assigned to Er:YAG laser or ultrasonic methods for post removal. The removal time was recorded. Specimens with a fractured post during the removal process were excluded. The temperature on the external surface of the root was measured at the coronal, middle, and apical third portions during the laser or ultrasonic applications from 1 to 10 minutes. Data were analyzed using one-tailed t-test and paired t-test (ɑ = 0.01) for the post removal time and temperature difference, respectively. The specimen surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS Fifteen specimens were tested in each group. Four specimens were fractured, 2 in the laser and 1 in ultrasonic group. One post was excluded because of laser tip damage. The average removal time were 98 ± 46.1 seconds for Er:YAG laser and 538 ± 215.6 seconds or ultrasonic groups with significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001). The temperature (°C) ranges measured from 1 to 10 minutes were [24.2°, 27.3°] for laser and [33.0°, 38.0°] for ultrasonic in the cervical area, [22.1°,24.6°] for laser and [31.0°, 34.6°] for ultrasonic in the middle area, and [24.4°, 27.7°] for laser and [30.3°, 34.1°] for ultrasonic in the apical area. There were significant differences between temperatures for each treatment (p < 0.001). SEM examination showed no visible damage caused by treatment with Er:YAG laser. CONCLUSIONS Er:YAG laser can remove posts up to 5 times faster than ultrasonic removal method. The laser causes lower temperature increase at the root surface compared to the ultrasonic removal. Er:YAG may be considered as a viable alternative to sonication for post removal.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of a fiber hollow endodontic post characterized by the presence of an empty central cylindrical channel extended along the whole length. This particular shape allows clinicians to use the post also as a cementation resin carrier. Ten hollow posts were divided in two groups: the control group (unfilled hollow posts) (Group 0) and hollow posts filled with dual resin cement (Group 1). The samples of both groups were subjected to mechanical and micromorphological analysis by performing a three-point test and SEM observations. In the three-point test, the Group 1 samples exhibited a fracture load of 57.09 ± 5.06 N, a flexural strength of 1323.53 ± 110.09 MPa, and a Young’s modulus of 42.87 ± 0.86 GPa. The samples of Group 2 exhibited a fracture load of 38.17 ± 1.7 N, a flexural strength of 908.87 ± 30.98 MPa, and a Young’s modulus of 40.33 ± 1.9 GPa. The difference between fracture load, flexural strength, and deflection between the two groups was statistically highly significant (p < 0.01). Further, the difference between the Young’s modulus of the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The values obtained are similar to those of other posts available on the market.

Abstract
Objective: Assessment of long-term clinical data regarding post-endodontic restorations is essential for the evaluation of different post-and-core concepts. The aim of the present study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of patient self-reporting on post-endodontic restorations after 11 years of clinical service.Materials and methods: Twenty-nine patients (61 ± 15 years old) with endodontic glass-fibre and titanium post-endodontic restorations were examined within the 11-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial. Restorations were assessed by self-reports during a telephone interview (one item), the completion of a four-item questionnaire and clinical and radiographic examination. A gold standard for restoration in situ or 'failure' was defined by clinical and radiographic examination. Diagnostic accuracy of patients' self-reports was evaluated by calculating the sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV).Results: After a mean observation time of 137 months (min/max: 125/154 months), 25 (86.2%) restorations were in situ and 4 (13.8%) failures were detected. Self-report during a telephone interview and the four-item questionnaire correctly identified all in situ restorations (specificity = both 100%, NPV = 92.6%/96.2%). Self-report during a telephone interview identified two out of four failures (sensitivity = 50%, PPV = 100%), and self-report on the four-item questionnaire identified three out of four failures (sensitivity = 75%, PPV = 100%).Conclusions: When the clinical examination is not feasible, patients' self-report shows valuable diagnostic potential in the identification of the post-endodontic failure.
