Abstract
This review article describes the methods and clinical recommendations for reinforcing traumatized anterior immature teeth with pulp necrosis treated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification. Traumatic injury can cause pulp necrosis and incomplete root formation in immature teeth. MTA apexification is the treatment of choice for necrotic immature teeth, particularly during the middle or late stages of root development. MTA apexification has a high success rate; however, failures due to cervical or root fractures occasionally occur. The risk of fracture is higher in immature teeth with thin root dentin, particularly those with external root resorption. Furthermore, the loading force from any parafunctional habit also increases fracture risk. Therefore, intra-radicular reinforcement may be necessary after MTA apexification. In vitro, intraradicular restoration with a resin composite/core build-up material or a prefabricated fiber post demonstrated better root reinforcement than root canal obturation materials (i.e., gutta-percha and sealer). However, the root-reinforcement effect of MTA orthograde filling in the entire root canal remains unclear. In vivo, the survival of fractured teeth with intraradicular restorations (resin composite/core build-up material or prefabricated fiber posts) is extremely high. Moreover, the survival of teeth with gutta-percha/sealer obturation or MTA orthograde filling and restoration with resin composite extending into the cervical third of the root canal approximately 1-2 mm below the cemento-enamel junction is acceptably high. Based on this evidence, the remaining tooth/root structure and loading force should be carefully examined when considering intra-radicular reinforcement of immature anterior teeth treated with MTA apexification.

[PMID: 38212155 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Preserving and strengthening the remaining tooth structure of compromised flared root canals after endodontic treatment is challenging. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the adaptation of milled polymer- infiltrated ceramic, fiber-reinforced composite resin, and high-performance semicrystalline thermoplastic resin posts as used to restore mandibular premolars with flared root canals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty sound mandibular premolars were randomly divided into 4 groups: custom Vita Enamic (CV), custom fiber-reinforced composite resin (CF), custom polyetherketoneketone (CP), and prefabricated fiber (RF) posts. After endodontic treatment, each tooth was sectioned 1.5 mm occlusal to the cementoenamel junction. Then, the post space was prepared and flared, except the RF group, to a depth of 9 mm. The post space in RF group was prepared with a post drill. For the CV, CF, and CP groups, the posts were milled, finished, and cemented to their corresponding teeth. Each tooth was scanned using a microcomputed tomography device, and the reconstructed images were analyzed in mesiodistal, buccolingual, and horizontal planes. The cement thickness, cement volume, and volume of voids were measured. The data were analyzed using 3-way ANOVA (cement thickness) and 2-way ANOVA (cement volume and voids volume) tests followed by the post hoc Tukey test (α=.05). RESULTS The 3-way ANOVA test revealed a significant interaction (P<.001) between material type, section, and surface on the cement thickness. The mean cement thickness in the RF group was significantly higher than in the CV group (P=.001) and CF group (P=.005). The least mean cement thickness was at the apical section followed by the cervical and middle sections. Regarding cement volume, the 2-way ANOVA test showed statistically significant interaction between material type and section. The mean cement volume in the RF group was significantly lower than in the CV group (P=.001), CF group (P=.001), and CP group (P=.001). The highest mean cement volume was in the cervical section followed by the middle and apical sections. The 2-way ANOVA test showed statistically significant interaction (P<.001) between material type and section on the volume of voids. Significant differences were found between the mean volume of voids at the cervical and middle sections (P=.001) and the cervical and apical sections (P=.002). CONCLUSIONS Compared with prefabricated fiber posts, digitally fabricated polymer-infiltrated ceramic and fiber-reinforced composite resin posts had a thinner cement layer with minimal thickness at the apical section. The digitally fabricated posts had higher cement volume, especially at the cervical section, than prefabricated fiber posts. High volumes of voids were related to the cervical section of all tested posts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim was to evaluate the stress distributions on dentin and repair materials caused by static force applied to teeth, with cervical external root resorption (CER) after repair with different materials using finite element analysis. METHODS This study was performed with the 3-dimensional finite element analysis method. Access cavity, root canal cavity dimensions, and supporting tissues other than cementum were modeled in the maxillary central tooth. The CER cavity was created on the labial side of the tooth model. The coronal side of the resorption cavity was restored with composite, and the radicular side with different materials (MTA, Biodentine, BioAggregate, calcium-enriched cement [CEM], glass ionomer cement [GIC], and resin-modified glass ionomer cement [RMGIC]). A static force of 300 N was applied to the palatal surface of the crown at an angle of 135° to the long axis of the tooth. The stress distributions in dentin and repair materials were analyzed. RESULTS The highest stress in dentin was seen in the fFigmodel with unrepaired CER. In the models repaired with MTA, GIC, and RMGIC, von Mises stress values in dentin were greater than for repairs with Biodentine, BioAggregate, and CEM materials. The von Mises stress on the repair materials applied to the root were highest for the BioAggregate material. This was followed by CEM, Biodentine, MTA, RMGIC, and GIC materials, respectively. CONCLUSION The repair of CER in the tooth significantly decreased the stress values in dentin. Biodentine, BioAggregate, and CEM absorbed more force and caused less stress to be transmitted to dentin compared to MTA, GIC, and RMGIC.

Assessment of biomechanical behavior of immature non-vital incisors with various treatment modalities by means of three-dimensional quasi-static finite element analysis. Sci Rep 2023; 13:17491. [PMID: 37840093 PMCID: PMC10577137 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44609-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the stress distribution and risk of fracture of a non-vital immature maxillary central incisor subjected to various clinical procedures using finite element analysis (FEA). A three-dimensional model of an immature central incisor was developed, from which six main models were designed: untreated immature tooth (C), standard apical plug (AP), resin composite (RC), glass-fibre post (GFP), regeneration procedure (RET), and regeneration with induced root maturation (RRM). Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or Biodentine® were used as an apical or coronal plug. All models simulated masticatory forces in a quasi-static approach with an oblique force of 240 Newton at a 120° to the longitudinal tooth axis. The maximum principal stress, maximum shear stress, risk of fracture, and the strengthening percentage were evaluated. The mean maximum principal stress values were highest in model C [90.3 MPa (SD = 4.4)] and lowest in the GFP models treated with either MTA and Biodentine®; 64.1 (SD = 1.7) and 64.0 (SD = 1.6) MPa, respectively. Regarding the shear stress values, the dentine tooth structure in model C [14.4 MPa (SD = 0.8)] and GFP models [15.4 MPa (SD = 1.1)] reported significantly higher maximum shear stress values compared to other tested models (p < 0.001), while no significant differences were reported between the other models (p > 0.05). No significant differences between MTA and Biodentine® regarding maximum principal stress and maximum shear stress values for each tested model (p > 0.05). A maximum strain value of 4.07E-03 and maximum displacement magnitude of 0.128 mm was recorded in model C. In terms of strengthening percentage, the GFP models were associated with the highest increase (22%). The use of a GFP improved the biomechanical performance and resulted in a lower risk of fracture of a non-vital immature maxillary central incisor in a FEA model.

Effects of different calcium-silicate based materials on fracture resistance of immature permanent teeth with replacement root resorption and osteoclastogenesis. Restor Dent Endod 2023; 48:e21.

Abstract
Objectives This study evaluated the effects of Biodentine (BD), Bio-C Repair (BCR), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plug on the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth with replacement root resorption (RRR) and in vitro-induced osteoclastogenesis. Materials and Methods Sixty bovine incisors simulating immature teeth and RRR were divided into 5 groups: BD and BCR groups, with samples completely filled with the respective materials; MTA group, which utilized a 3-mm apical MTA plug; RRR group, which received no root canal filling; and normal periodontal ligament (PL) group, which had no RRR and no root canal filling. All the teeth underwent cycling loading, and compression strength testing was performed using a universal testing machine. RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with 1:16 extracts of BD, BCR, and MTA containing receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) for 5 days. RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation was assessed by staining with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. The fracture load and osteoclast number were analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Results No significant difference in fracture resistance was observed among the groups (p > 0.05). All materials similarly inhibited osteoclastogenesis (p > 0.05), except for BCR, which led to a lower percentage of osteoclasts than did MTA (p < 0.0001). Conclusions The treatment options for non-vital immature teeth with RRR did not strengthen the teeth and promoted a similar resistance to fractures in all cases. BD, MTA, and BCR showed inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation, with BCR yielding improved results compared to the other materials.

BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:607.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial restoration combined with periodontal root coverage surgery can be applied to the treatment of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) accompanied with gingival recessions in clinical practice. However, the feasibility of NCCL partial restorative treatment from a biomechanical perspective remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial restorations on stress distributions in the NCCLs of mandibular first premolars via three-dimensional finite element analysis. METHODS Three-dimensional finite element models of buccal wedge-shaped NCCLs in various locations of a defected zenith (0 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm) were constructed and divided into three groups (A, B, and C). Three partially restored NCCL models with different locations of the lower restoration border (1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm), and one completely restored NCCL model were further constructed for each group. The following restorative materials were used in all restoration models: composite resin (CR), glass-ionomer cement (GIC), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The first principal stress distributions under buccal oblique loads of 100 N were analyzed. Restoration bond failures were also evaluated based on stress distributions at dentin-restoration interfaces. RESULTS When the partial restoration fully covered the defected zenith, the first principal stress around the zenith decreased and the maximum tensile stress was concentrated at the lower restoration border. When the partial restoration did not cover the defected zenith, the first principal stress distribution patterns were similar to those in unrestored models, with the maximum tensile stress remaining concentrated at the zenith. As the elastic modulus of the restorative material was altered, the stress distributions at the interface were not obviously changed. Restoration bond failures were not observed in CR, but occurred in GIC and MTA in most models. CONCLUSIONS Partial restorations that fully covered defected zeniths improved the stress distributions in NCCLs, while the stress distributions were unchanged or worsened under other circumstances. CR was the optimal material for partial restorations compared to GIC and MTA.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of fibre-reinforced composites and onlay restorations on the fracture resistance of the cracked teeth. The experiments were grouped as follows: intact teeth, cracked teeth, crown; onlay; annular ribbond + onlay, laminated ribbond + onlay and fibre post + onlay; annular ribbond + crown, laminated ribbond + crown and fibre post + crown. The maximal Von Mises stress of dentin, the maximal Von Mises stress at the crack, the fracture resistance and fracture pattern under static loading were analysed by single-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-test by LSD. The annular ribbond + crown had a significant difference in fracture resistance than the crown (P < 0.05). The annular ribbond + onlay had more favourable fractures than crown in fracture pattern, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Compared with crown restoration, fibre-reinforced composites and onlay can improve the fracture resistance of the cracked teeth.

Does the use of fiber posts increase the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth? A systematic review. Odontology 2022; 110:619-633. [PMID: 35445361 DOI: 10.1007/s10266-022-00707-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
This systematic review aimed to assess if the use of fiber posts reinforces weakened immature teeth. A systematic review was conducted of laboratory studies that evaluated the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth restored with fiber posts compared to teeth restored exclusively with resin. An electronic search was performed using the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus and LILACS, BBO, and grey literature. Two independent researchers screened the titles and abstracts of the retrieved studies for relevance to the research question. Subsequently, the full texts of potentially relevant studies were screened based on the exclusion criteria. Ten out of 1792 unique records were included in this systematic review. Risk of bias was assessed using an adapted tool based on the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The laboratory studies included in this systematic review were performed on both human and bovine teeth. Eight studies concluded that fiber posts reinforce the structure of weakened roots, and two studies reported that fiber posts did not strengthen the radicular structure compared to teeth exclusively restored with resin composite. The highly heterogeneous data made it challenging to synthesize the results into a summary estimate, and thus no meta-analysis was undertaken. A summary effect could not be estimated without a meta-analysis. Although the laboratory literature suggests that fiber posts reinforce the structure of immature teeth, the results should be interpreted with caution, as most of the studies had an unclear or high risk of bias.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Circulating blood is a readily available scaffold when enough bleeding cannot be induced from periapical tissues during regenerative endodontic treatments (RET). The aim of this investigation was to compare the radiographic outcome, linear and 3-dimensional volumetric, of RET using periapical blood or circulating blood as scaffolds in sheep immature mandibular incisors. METHODS Thirty-two immature sheep mandibular central incisors were randomly assigned to the following groups (n=8)- Positive control: the pulps were removed without any treatment; Periapical blood: RET was performed using periapical blood as scaffold; Circulating blood: RET was performed using circulating blood as scaffold; Negative control: intact teeth without any treatment. After 8 months micro computed tomography images of mandibular blocks were taken to assess the followings: root length; root thickness at mid-root and CEJ levels; and incidence of apical closure. Root structures were segmented, and root volumes were calculated and analyzed statistically. RESULTS RET using periapical blood and circulating blood resulted in increase in root length, root wall thickness at mid-root and CEJ levels, incidence of apical closure, and root volume (P<.05). There were no significant differences between RET groups and negative control group regarding linear measurements (i.e., root length, root thickness, and apical closure) (P>.05). Root volumes of the two RET groups were similar (P>.05) and were less than those observed in negative control group (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant radiographic differences between RET groups using periapical blood and circulating blood as scaffolds. RET resulted in less root volume compared to normal root development.

Abstract
This study assessed the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth reinforced with calcium aluminate cement (CAC) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) containing calcium carbonate nanoparticles (nano-CaCO3). The microstructural arrangement of the cements and their chemical constitution were also evaluated. Forty-eight canines simulating immature teeth were distributed into 6 groups (n=8): Negative control - no apical plug or root canal filling; CAC - apical plug with CAC; CAC/nano-CaCO3 - apical plug with CAC+5% nano-CaCO3; MTA - apical plug with MTA; MTA/nano-CaCO3 - apical plug with MTA+5% nano-CaCO3; and Positive control - root canal filling with MTA. The fracture resistance was evaluated in a universal testing machine. Samples of the cements were analyzed under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to determine their microstructural arrangement. Chemical analysis of the cements was performed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The fracture resistance of CAC/nano-CaCO3 was significantly higher than the negative control (p<0.05). There was no significant difference among the other groups (p>0.05). Both cements had a more regular microstructure with the addition of nano-CaCO3. MTA samples had more calcium available in soluble forms than CAC. The addition of nano-CaCO3 to CAC increased the fracture resistance of teeth in comparison with the non-reinforced teeth. The microstructure of both cements containing nano-CaCO3 was similar, with a more homogeneous distribution of lamellar- and prismatic-shaped crystals. MTA had more calcium available in soluble forms than CAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endodontically treated immature teeth which are restored with cast metal posts are of the most susceptible teeth to fracture. An apical plug is usually used as root end filling in order to seal the wide apical foramen. The current study was performed to evaluate the effect of different apical plug materials (MTA and Calcium enriched mixture cement) at varied thicknesses on fracture resistance of teeth restored with cast metal posts. METHODS A total of 40 extracted intact single-rooted human mandibular premolars (removed for orthodontic reasons) were used in the study. The coronal part of each tooth was removed and root canal preparation was performed. A size 4 Gates Glidden drill was used to enlarge the canal and was passed through the apical foramen in order to simulate an immature apex. Samples were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8) according to apical plug (control group: No plug, group MTA5: 5 mm MTA plug, group CEM5: 5 mm CEM plug, group MTA3: 3 mm MTA plug, group CEM3: 3 mm CEM plug). Post-space preparations were performed and cast metal post-and-cores were fabricated and cemented. Fracture resistance was assessed using a universal testing machine. Fracture thresholds were recorded and data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Dunnett's T3 tests with significance level at P value < 0.05. RESULTS The analysis showed a significant difference of fracture resistance between groups (P value < 0.05). The mean fracture resistance of samples in control group was significantly lower than MTA5 (P value = 0.003). There was no significant difference between other groups (P value > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of this study, the evidence indicated that placement of a 5 mm MTA apical plug increased the fracture resistance in simulated immature teeth which are restored with cast metal posts, compared to control group (gutta-percha and sealer). While the results were not as promising for a 3 mm MTA apical plug or either 3 or 5 mm CEM apical plug.

Effect of revascularisation and apexification procedures on biomechanical behaviour of immature maxillary central incisor teeth: a three-dimensional finite element analysis study. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:6671-6679. [PMID: 33899155 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-03953-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effects of revascularisation and apexification procedures on biomechanical behaviour of immature teeth using 3-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Five 3D FEA permanent maxillary incisor models were developed from CBCT scans and available literature data: Model MT: Mature tooth, Model IT: Immature tooth (Cvek's stage 3), Model AT: Apexified tooth-mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification, Model RTB: Revascularised tooth with blood, and Model RTS: Revascularised tooth with supplementary scaffold. Using FEA, a masticatory load of 240N at 120° was simulated, and the Von Mises and maximum principal stresses within the models were evaluated. Failure index (FI) and weakening% were also calculated for each model. RESULTS On dentinal stress analysis, model MT (96.16MPa) and IT (158.38MPa) had lowest and highest stress values, respectively. Among the experimental groups, model RTS (131.12MPa) had lower stresses than AT (136.33MPa) and RTB (133.7MPa), with no significant difference among the three. Peak dentinal stresses in all the models were observed in the cervical third of the root and near the apical opening in model IT. The extent of high dentinal stress area in model RTB and RTS was lesser than that of AT. The FI and weakening% values were highest for model AT followed by RTB and RTS, among the experimental groups. However, all these treatments strengthened an immature tooth by more than 20%. CONCLUSIONS AT, RTB, and RTS treatments lowered the stress values and risk of fracture in immature teeth with no significant difference among the three groups. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Stress distribution evaluation following revascularisation/apexification was essential, with potential to influence clinical decision-making. MTA apexification and revascularisation with blood clot/supplementary scaffold lowered the stresses in immature teeth, with no significant difference among the three.

Abstract
The pulp plays a key role in the treatment of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) and is strongly associated with the outcome, particularly in severe cases. A correct pulp diagnosis is essential as it forms the basis for developing the appropriate management strategy. However, many TDIs are complex, and their treatment requires a profound knowledge of the physiological and pathological responses of the affected tissues. This comprehensive review will look at the dentine-pulp complex and its interaction with the surrounding tissues following TDIs. The literature up to 2020 was reviewed based on several searches on PubMed and the Cochrane Library using relevant terms. In addition to the recently revised guidelines of the International Association of Dental Traumatology, this article aims to provide background information with a focus on endodontic aspects and to gather evidence on which a clinician can make decisions on the choice of the appropriate endodontic approach for traumatized permanent teeth.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to evaluate the biological response of human apical papilla cells to different calcium hydroxide formulations and three tricalcium silicate-based materials. Methods Primary cells were obtained from explants of young immature premolars. 20,000 cells adhered for 24 h over discs of Biodentine™, ProRoot®MTA, BioRoot®RCS and calcium hydroxide mixed either with sodium chloride 0.9%w/v or polyethylene glycol and UltraCal® were used to evaluate cell adhesion by scanning electron microscopy and cell viability by MTT assay. Results Cells adhered to ProRoot®MTA showed an increase of F-actin like protrusions, suggesting bioactivity. Cells adhered to UltraCal® show protrusion such as filopodia. On the contrary, cells adhered to BioRoot®RCS showed no signs of any cellular protrusion. Regarding viability between the materials, we found a higher percentage of viability in cells cultured over discs of Biodentine™ and ProRoot®MTA. Conclusion ProRoot®MTA and Biodentine™ exhibit a better cellular response of human apical papilla cells in vitro conditions compared to BioRoot® and calcium hydroxide diluted in sodium chloride.

[PMID: 33667031 DOI: 10.1111/eos.12769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2020] [Revised: 01/09/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of 9% etidronic acid (HEBP) and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) used either with conventional syringe irrigation (CSI) or passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) on the fracture resistance of roots with different dentine thickness. The root canals of 120 extracted teeth were widened, leaving dentinal walls with different thicknesses of either 0.75 mm, 1.50 mm, or 2.25 mm with 40 teeth in each group. Within each of these groups, four subgroups (n = 10) were formed according to the final irrigation regimens applied: 2.5% NaOCl-17% EDTA with CSI; 2.5% NaOCl-17% EDTA with PUI; 2.5% NaOCl + 9% HEBP with CSI; 2.5% NaOCl + 9% HEBP with PUI. The irrigated root canals were obturated with AH Plus sealer and gutta-percha cones. A compressive vertical loading was applied to the samples and the force at fracture was recorded. Data were statistically analysed using a multiple linear regression analysis. The most influencing factor for the fracture strength of roots was the remaining dentine thickness, followed by the irrigation method, and then the irrigation solution. The samples irrigated using PUI were statistically significantly more resistant to fracture than those using CSI (mean difference = 116.3 N; 95% CI = [53.9, 178.6] N). The application of HEBP was associated with higher resistance to fracture than the application of EDTA (mean difference = 71.0 N; 95% CI = [8.6, 133.3] N).

Abstract
Clinicians often face dilemmas regarding the most appropriate way to restore a tooth following root canal treatment. Whilst there is established consensus on the importance of the ferrule effect on the predictable restoration of root filled teeth, other factors, such as residual tooth volume, tooth location, number of proximal contacts, timing of the definitive restoration and the presence of cracks, have been reported to influence restoration and tooth survival. The continued evolution of dental materials and techniques, combined with a trend towards more conservative endodontic-restorative procedures, prompts re-evaluation of the scientific literature. The aim of this literature review was to provide an updated overview of the existing clinical literature relating to the restoration of root filled teeth. An electronic literature search of the PubMed, Ovid (via EMBASE) and MEDLINE (via EMBASE) databases up to July 2020 was performed to identify articles that related the survival of root filled teeth and/or restoration type. The following and other terms were searched: restoration, crown, onlay, root canal, root filled, post, clinical, survival, success. Wherever possible, only clinical studies were selected for the literature review. Full texts of the identified articles were independently screened by two reviewers according to pre-defined criteria. This review identifies the main clinical factors influencing the survival of teeth and restorations following root canal treatment in vivo and discusses the data related to specific restoration type on clinical survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this study, finite element analysis was used to evaluate the stress distributions in simulated mandibular molar teeth with various iatrogenic root perforation types after reparation with Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS An extracted human mandibular molar tooth was scanned using a micro-computed tomographic device, and a 3-dimensional solid model was created. Then, 3 different iatrogenic perforation types (furcation perforation [FP], strip perforation [SP], and post drill perforation [PDP]) and 2 different repair materials (MTA and Biodentine [BD]) were simulated on the model. In addition, a sound tooth (ST) model (control) and a model left unrepaired for each type of perforation were created; then, access cavities were restored using resin composite, except for the sound tooth model. Consequently, a total of 10 experimental models were designed. An oblique force of 300 N angled at 45° to the occlusal plane was simulated. Evaluations of von Mises stress were performed in the perforated regions. RESULTS Maximum von Mises stress values were 7.76 MPa for ST/corresponding to the FP region, 8.48 MPa for ST/corresponding to the SP region, 14.20 MPa for ST/corresponding to the PDP region, 10.89 MPa for FP /MTA, 7.65 MPa for FP/BD, 14.67 MPa for FP/unrepaired, 15.92 MPa for SP/MTA, 15.82 MPa for SP/BD, 21.95 MPa for SP/unrepaired, 10.20 MPa for PDP/MTA, 9.17 MPa for PDP/BD, and 17.86 MPa for PDP/unrepaired. CONCLUSIONS The results of this finite element analysis indicated that BD models showed lower maximum von Mises stress values than the MTA models, and SPs exposed higher stress concentrations in root perforation regions than FPs and PDPs. The use of MTA and BD may reduce the risk of potentially harmful stress in root perforation regions.

Abstract
AIM To compare the fracture strength of extracted human roots with apical plugs of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) mixed with either Ca- and Mg-free phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or water, with and without calcium hydroxide (CH) canal pre-medication. METHODOLOGY A total of 180 single-rooted human teeth were prepared to resemble immature roots and divided into groups (n = 20). The negative control received canal irrigation only, and the positive control received intracanal treatment with CH for either two or twelve weeks. MTA mixed with water was used in Group 1: (i) without CH pre-medication - MTA(W); (ii) after 2 weeks CH pre-medication - 2/52CH + MTA(W); and (iii) after 12-week CH pre-medication - 12/52 CH + MTA(W). MTA mixed with PBS was used in Group 2: (i) without CH pre-medication - MTA(PBS); (ii) after 2-week CH pre-medication - 2/52CH + MTA(PBS); and (iii) after 12-week CH pre-medication - 12/52 CH + MTA(PBS). A compressive force was applied to each root until the point of fracture. The results were analysed by the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's multiple comparisons tests (P < 0.05). RESULTS There was no significant difference between groups MTA(W), MTA(PBS) and 2/52CH + MTA(PBS), and all three groups were significantly (P < 0.01, P < 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively) more resistant to fracture than the negative control. Within Group 1, the samples that received two- (P < 0.01) and twelve-week (P < 0.001) CH pre-treatment were more prone to fracture than those which did not. No difference was found amongst the control groups. The roots of the MTA(PBS) group had a higher dependability (P < 0.05) than the MTA(W) group when compared by the Weibull modulus. The difference was also present when a 2-week CH pre-medication was used. CONCLUSIONS Mineral trioxide aggregate mixed with Ca- and Mg-free phosphate-buffered saline had a significant strengthening effect on the fracture resistance of structurally weak roots, even when short-term calcium hydroxide pre-medication had been used. MTA mixed with water lost its strengthening effect on human roots when 2- or 12-week CH pre-treatment had been used. Use of CH dressing for up to 12 weeks had no negative effect on fracture resistance of human roots.

Abstract
Background Strain distribution was investigated to assess the occlusal resistance alterations in immature teeth under different occlusal force. Methods In vitro apexification models of teeth with a funnel-shaped immature apex were obturated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; ProRoot MTA) using different combinations of core materials (10/group): group 1, full-length orthograde obturation of MTA; group 2, a 5-mm MTA apical plug with a composite core; group 3, a 5-mm MTA apical plug and back-filling with warm gutta-percha. Teeth with calcium hydroxide (CH)-medicated canals and untreated teeth with normal apices were tested as controls. The teeth were arranged between two adjacent normal-apex teeth, embedded in a resin mold with a simulated periodontal ligament space. Strain data were recorded from the 3-unit teeth assembly under static compressive occlusal forces (50, 100, 200, and 300 N). Measurements were repeated 20 times for each condition, and the data were statistically analyzed. Results The immature teeth showed altered occlusal force resistance, placing increased strain on adjacent teeth. Teeth with CH-medicated canals showed significantly inferior occlusal resistance under all tested forces (P < 0.05). Application of an MTA plug with deep composite resin core resulted in significantly better stress-bearing capacity especially under forces of 50 and 300 N (P < 0.05). Conclusions The pattern of occlusal force distribution in immature teeth differed according to the canal obturation materials used for apexification. Immature teeth with an MTA apical plug showed more favorable occlusal force resistance than those with CH-medicated canals.

[PMID: 32615172 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2020.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine whether the methods used to treat endodontically and restore anterior immature teeth with a necrotic pulp influence their resistance to fracture. METHODS After access opening and cleaning and shaping, 80 specimen teeth were assigned into 5 groups according to the endodontic obturation method and coronal restoration as follows: A1, apexification with a composite restoration in the crown area; A2, apexification with a composite restoration in the crown and 3 mm into the root; IR, immediate revascularization with a composite restoration in the crown area; SR, successful revascularization with a composite in the crown area; and the control group, a mature tooth treated with gutta-percha and sealer with a composite restoration in the crown area. The teeth were mounted in acrylic blocks and brought to fracture under compressive forces in a universal testing machine. Both the fracture strength and the location where the fracture occurred were recorded. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the fracture resistance among the 5 groups (1-way analysis of variance, F4 = .545, P = .703). No statistically significant differences were found in the location where the fracture occurred either (χ24 = 4.1, P = .391). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this in vitro study, it can be concluded that the treatment options used to treat nonvital immature teeth provided the same resistance to fracture.

[PMID: 32007840 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2020.105356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2019] [Revised: 01/08/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Finite element based simulation has emerged as a powerful tool to analyse the tooth strength and its fracture characteristics. The aim of this study is to compare and evaluate the fracture resistance of immature teeth reinforcement with MTA, Biodentine and Bioaggregate as an apical plug and backfill material using Finite Element Method. METHODS A 3D finite element analysis model was generated using a simulated immature maxillary central incisor. Seven different models were developed representing (Model 1): control group having an immature tooth model without any reinforcement material; (Model 2): Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as apical plug 4 mm; (Model 3): Biodentine as apical plug 4 mm; (Model 4): Bioaggregate as apical plug 4 mm; (Model 5): MTA filled in the entire root canal 8.5 mm; (Model 6): Biodentine filled in the entire root canal 8.5 mm; (Model 7): Bioaggregate filled in the entire root canal 8.5 mm. A force of 100 N was applied at an angle of 130° to the palatal surface of the tooth. Stress distribution at cemento‑enamel junction was measured using the Von Mises stress criteria. RESULTS It was found that the 4 mm apical plug using MTA showed higher fracture resistance when compared to 8.5 mm backfill using MTA. When MTA was replaced as backfill material by Biodentine and Bioaggregate, the von mises stress increased by 64% and 94% respectively. CONCLUSIONS It is not desirable to restore the entire root canal of an immature teeth using same material due to higher stress concentration at the cervical region. Considering the shorter setting time and improved handling characteristics, Biodentine can be preferred over the time‑tested MTA as an apical plug.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate and compare the influence of various predictors on outcomes of apexification using either mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or calcium hydroxide (CH) in permanent immature anterior teeth with necrotic pulps and periapical lesions of adults. METHODOLOGY Ninety immature teeth with necrotic pulps and periapical lesions on adult patients (aged 18-40 years) were treated with MTA (45 teeth) or CH (45 teeth) between 2015 and 2018. Patients of both groups were recalled for follow-up examinations after the first intervention at 1,3,6 and 12 months for the first year, every 6 months for the second year and every year thereafter until the end of the study (median 32.3 months). The treatment outcome based on clinical and radiographic criteria was assessed by calibrated examiners and dichotomized as 'healed+healing' or 'not healed'. The age, gender, stage of root development, preoperative signs and symptoms of apical periodontitis and size of periapical lesion were recorded. The cumulative success proportion and mean time were analysed with the Kaplan-Meier test. The generalized logrank statistic was used to describe prognostic clinical variables. Fisher's exact test was applied for the evaluation of the healing rates. RESULTS Thirty-nine of the 45 teeth treated with MTA were available for recall. Of these, 29 teeth (74%) revealed calcific apical barrier formation with complete resolution of periapical lesions, 7 teeth (18%) were healing, and 3 teeth (8%) had persistent disease. Thirty-four of the 45 teeth in the CH group were available for recall. Of these, 27 teeth (79%) had complete healing of periapical lesions and had calcific barrier formation, 4 teeth (12%) were healing, and the remaining 3 teeth (9%) had not healed. The survival rate of teeth treated with MTA was similar to the survival rates observed in teeth treated with CH (90% and 91%, respectively, P > 0.05). The generalized logrank statistic revealed that the cumulative success rate of both materials was not significantly different (P > 0.05). None of the tested predictors had an influence on the treatment outcomes of teeth in both groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Apexification with both MTA and CH was associated with similar treatment outcomes. MTA may be proposed as a material for apexification treatment in immature teeth of adult patients due to the shorter treatment time associated with its use.

Comparison of the Effects of Intraradicular Materials on the Incidence of Fatal Root Fracture in Immature Teeth Treated with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Apexification: A Retrospective Study. J Endod 2019; 45:977-984.e1.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the incidence of root fractures that led to extraction in immature teeth endodontically treated by mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification and were restored with either reinforced (resin composite or fiber post) or nonreinforced (gutta percha or MTA) intraradicular materials. METHODS Necrotic immature teeth treated with MTA apexification from 1996 to 2017 were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Intraradicular materials and preoperative and treatment factors were obtained from dental charts and radiographs. The incidence of fatal root facture was identified. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the Cox proportional hazard model were used to show the survival rate and predisposing factors at a significance level of .05. RESULTS The average recall period was 30 months. The incidence of root fracture in the teeth restored with the reinforced materials was 5.5%, which was not significantly different from the nonreinforced materials (8.3%). Furthermore, the fracture rates between the fiber post and resin composite groups were not significantly different. Two significant predisposing factors influencing the incidence of root fracture were detected: preoperative external inflammatory root resorption (hazard ratio = 26.86; P < .05) and patient age > 15 years (hazard ratio = 8.60, P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Immature teeth treated with MTA apexification and restored with the reinforced or nonreinforced intraradicular materials exhibited a similar rate of root fracture. Preoperative external inflammatory root resorption and patient age > 15 years were found to be the predisposing factors that significantly increased the incidence of root fracture.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth after treatment with regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) using tricalcium silicate cements (TSCs) as cervical plugs. Bovine incisors were sectioned to standard crown/root ratio. Pulp tissue was removed and canals were enlarged to a standardized diameter. Teeth were then treated with a REP protocol consisting of NaOCl and EDTA irrigation, intracanal medication with triple-antibiotic paste for 14 days followed by a TSC cervical seal and composite restoration. Teeth were divided into groups according to the material used; Mineral-Trioxide-Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, TotalFill. Teeth filled with guttapercha (GP) and intact teeth served as controls. All teeth subjected to an increasing compressive force (rate of 0.05 mm/s at a 45° angle to the long axis of the tooth) until fracture. All treated teeth exhibited significantly lower resistance to fracture compared to the intact teeth but no difference was found between the TSC groups (Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn’s multiple comparison, p < .05). TSCs applied at the cervical area of simulated immature teeth treated with REP did not reinforce fracture resistance.

Abstract
This study was to compare the influence of glass fiber post placement and crown restoration on endodontically treated maxillary first premolars with severe NCCLs using three-dimensional finite element analysis and fracture resistance testing. G1, intact teeth. G2, teeth with artificial defect. G3, composite resin (CR). G4, CR and fiber post in buccal canal (FPB). G5, CR and fiber post in palatal canal (FPP). G6, CR and fiber posts in buccal and palatal canals (FPBP). G7, CR and crown (C). G8, CR, FPB, C. G9, CR, FPP, C. G10, CR, FPBP, C. Teeth in G2, G3, and G5 showed a similar stress concentration at the tip of the defect. The fracture resistance of G2 did not differ significantly from G3 and G5 (p>0.05) but differed significantly from that in other groups (p<0.05). The fractures in G4 were more favorable, and the difference of those in G1 from those in G7, G8, G9, and G10 was statistically significant (p<0.05). Restoration of root-filled maxillary premolars with severe NCCLs using fiber post in the buccal canal may be more efficacious than other restoration methods.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stresses within simulated roots with internal resorption cavities at the apical, middle and coronal root levels, after obturation with gutta-percha and/or MTA utilising finite element analysis (FEA). Mandibular premolar teeth with internal resorption cavities at different root levels were modelled. Models were restored with gutta-percha and/or MTA. An oblique force of 300 N was applied and stress evaluations were carried out. In the MTA-filled resorption models, the stresses were distributed more homogeneously than the gutta-percha filled models, and the stress concentrations were lower in the remaining dentinal tissues. If the whole root is considered, the fully gutta-percha-filled models generated the highest stress values. Differences between the fully MTA-filled models and hybrid techniques were present only in the apical resorption models. Both the MTA and combination of MTA and gutta-percha can be suggested for use in clinical practice, in cases of internal root resorption cavity obturation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth after using different thicknesses of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plugs. METHODS Fifty-two human maxillary anterior teeth were used. Five teeth were the positive control group; they were prepared using Peeso reamers to simulate immature teeth without any access cavity preparation. Access cavities of the 47 teeth were prepared, and the canals were instrumented with Peeso reamers. Five teeth served as the negative control; they were filled with calcium hydroxide. Forty-two teeth were divided into 3 groups; in groups 1, 2, and 3, MTA was placed into canals as a 3-mm and a 6-mm apical plug and a thorough canal length, respectively. The rest of the canals in groups 1 and 2 were filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany). After the storage period, the roots were covered with a polyether impression material and were embedded into self-curing resin blocks. Each specimen was then subjected to fracture testing using a universal testing machine. Data were analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance with the Tukey post hoc test for multiple comparisons. RESULTS The negative group showed the lowest fracture resistance compared with the other groups. The 3-mm apical plug group showed the highest fracture resistance (P < .05). No significant differences were found between the 3-mm and 6-mm apical plug groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS MTA should be used as an apical plug instead of root canal filling material to increase the fracture resistance of immature teeth.

Abstract
This case series evaluated the long-term clinical outcome of nonvital immature teeth treated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as an apical barrier and an adhesive restoration with or without a fiber post. Eighty-three teeth in 72 patients were treated by the first author with an apical MTA plug and an adhesive restoration of composite resin and in 45 of the 83 teeth 1 or more fiber posts. All of the patients had been referred to the first author's private endodontic practice with at least 1 immature tooth with signs of pulpal necrosis and subsequent apical periodontitis that had been caused by a variety of traumatic dental injuries. Three teeth presented had dens invaginatus. Of 83 teeth, 69 teeth in 60 patients were available for follow-up after 5 to 15 years (recall rate = 83%). The mean follow-up time was 8.29 years. No teeth were lost because of a root fracture. Ninety-six percent (66/69) of the recalled teeth were characterized as healed. Based on periapical radiographs and clinical examination, 96% of teeth treated with the MTA barrier technique and adhesive restorations were characterized as "healed" and were in function after 5 to 15 years (mean = 8.29 years). These results indicate that this is a viable and predictable treatment approach for the long-term success of nonvital immature teeth.

Abstract
Background/purpose Teeth with internal resorption are susceptible to fracture because of the remaining thin dentinal walls. The aim of this study was to investigate the fracture resistance of roots with simulated internal resorption cavities and obturated with different hybrid techniques. Materials and methods Seventy single root canals were instrumented. On the coronal half of the roots, standardized internal cavities with a length of 8 mm were created. The apical 6 mm of the 60 root canals were filled with AH Plus sealer and gutta-percha cones. Then, 80 roots were divided into four experimental groups and two control groups according to the internal cavity obturation: Group 1, AHPlus sealer + high-temperature thermoplasticized injectable gutta-percha; Group 2, DiaRoot Bioaggregate; Group 3, Biodentine; Group 4, MTA Fillapex; Group 5, instrumented, but not obturated roots; Group 6, intact roots. A compressive vertical loading at a speed of 1 mm/min was applied to the roots. The forces when the fracture occurred were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey test. Results Biodentine group showed statistically higher resistance to fracture than the other experimental groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Filling the internal resorption cavities with thin dentinal walls using Biodentine may provide strength to the tooth structure more than the other calcium silicate-based materials.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study is to evaluate the resistance vertical root fracture (VRF) of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) filled-immature permanent roots by using three different vehicles. Material and Methods Forty-extracted human single-rooted mandibular premolars were selected and the root length was standardized to the length of 9 mm. For simulation of immature tooth apices, peeso reamers were introduced into the root canals and the prepared roots were assigned into three experimental groups according the used vehicle (distilled water-DW, prophylene glycol-PG, chlorhexidine-CHX) and control group (n=10). To simulate a periodontal membrane, the apical 7 mm of all roots was covered with wax to obtain a 0.2- to 0.3-mm-thick layer before embedding the roots into acrylic cylinders. A vertical force was applied (1mm/min) using a universal testing machine and the maximum load (F-max) that fracture occurred and the fracture mode (splint or comminuted) was recorded. Data were presented as mean and standard deviations. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U Test was used for multiple comparisons. Results There were significant differences between fracture strength of experimental groups with that of control group (p<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found amongst the fracture strength values of the experimental groups (p>0.05). In all groups, split fracture was the most common fracture mode. Conclusions MTA increases resistance of immature permanent teeth to VRF. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that mixing MTA with CHX or PG as the vehicle do not alter VRF resistance of simulated immature permanent roots. Key words:Immature teeth, MTA, vehicle, vertical root fracture.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth after different intra-radicular treatments. Crowns and roots of bovine incisors were cut transversally and removed to simulate immature teeth. Root canal preparation and flaring were performed using a bur in crown-apex and apex-crown direction. The samples were distributed into 5 groups (n=10): Positive control (PoC) - no root canal flaring or filling; Negative control (NeC) - teeth were sectioned and their root canals were flared; Direct anatomical glass fiber post (RaP) - #2 Reforpost main glass fiber post relined with composite resin; Double tapered conical glass fiber posts (ExP) - #3 Exacto glass fiber post; and #2 Reforpost main glass fiber + Reforpin accessory glass fiber posts (RrP). In RaP, ExP and RrP, 4.0-mm apical plugs were done with MTA Angelus. The specimens were embedded in polystyrene resin inside cylinders and the periodontal ligament was simulated with a polyether-based impression material. The specimens were submitted to compressive fracture strength test (0.5 mm/min at 135° relative to the long axis of the tooth) in a servo-hydraulic mechanical testing machine MTS 810. Data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Dunnett's C or Tukey's tests (α=0.05). The control groups (PoC and NeC) showed lower fracture strength than the experimental groups. NeC presented the lowest resistance and ExP presented the highest resistance among the experimental groups. The flaring procedures produced a detrimental effect on the fracture resistance of the bovine teeth. Glass fiber intra-radicular posts increased significantly the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth filled with an apical barrier of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and calcium-enriched mixture (CEM). Materials and Methods: Fifty-two single-rooted human maxillary central incisors were used. For standardization, the teeth were sectioned 6 mm above and 9 mm below the cementoenamel junction to simulate immature apex. Simulations of roots into immature apices were carried out using 1.5 mm diameter drills. The specimens were then randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 13) and one control group (n = 13). In experimental groups, MTA, Biodentine, and CEM were placed to apical 4 mm of the simulated immature roots. The samples were stored at 37° C and 100% humidity for 1 week. A load was applied on the crown of all teeth at 135° to their long axis until fracture. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey post-hoc tests. Results: No statistically significant differences were found among MTA, CEM, and Biodentine (P > 0.05), and these groups demonstrated higher fracture resistance than control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Using any of the MTA, Biodentine, and CEM as an apical plug and restoring with fiber post and composite resin increases the fracture resistance of immature teeth.

Are bovine teeth a suitable substitute for human teeth in in vitro studies to assess endotoxin load in root canals? Braz Oral Res 2015; 29:S1806-83242015000100282. [PMID: 26154374 DOI: 10.1590/1807-3107bor-2015.vol29.0087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2015] [Accepted: 03/27/2015] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the feasibility of using bovine teeth as a suitable alternative for human teeth, in experiments involving in vitro endotoxin contamination. Twenty bovine central incisors and 20 human single-root premolars had their dental crowns removed and root lengths set at 16 mm. Root canals were prepared up to #60 K-file size and sterilized with cobalt-60 gamma irradiation (20 kGy, 6 h). The teeth were randomly divided into four groups: G1-bovine teeth (bovine negative control, n = 10), G2-human teeth (human negative control, n = 10), G3-bovine teeth, inoculated with Escherichia coli (055:B55) LPS, and G4-human teeth inoculated with E. coli LPS. The G1 and G2 groups were exposed to apyrogenic water. After the teeth had been incubated at 37 °C and atmospheric humidity for 24 h, the samples of solutions in the main canals were collected with apyrogenic absorbent paper tips. LPS levels were quantified using Limulus Amebocyte Lysate assay. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA, with a significance level of 5%. A high amount of endotoxin was detected in the inoculated human teeth (G4) when compared to the sterilized teeth (G2), as well as in the inoculated bovine teeth (G3) when compared to the inoculated human teeth (G4). However, there was no statistical difference between bovine teeth before and after the E. coli endotoxin inoculation. Therefore, under the mentioned experimental conditions, the use of bovine teeth should not be a choice for laboratory research on endotoxin contamination.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth that had been backfilled using different materials after using Biodentine as the apical plug material. DESIGN Seventy-five single-rooted teeth were divided into five groups (n = 15). The 15 teeth in group 1 served as a negative control group and received no treatment. The remaining 60 teeth were instrumented to a #6 Peeso reamer to obtain a standard internal diameter of 1.5 mm. The apical 4 mm of 60 teeth was filled with Biodentine. The backfilling was then performed on each group as follows: group 2--no backfilling (positive control), group 3--gutta-percha, group 4--fiber post, and group 5--Biodentine. Specimens were then subjected to fracture testing. The force required to fracture each specimen was recorded, and the data were statistically analyzed. RESULTS The mean fracture values of groups 1 and 4 were significantly higher than groups 2, 3, and 5 (P < 0.05). The values of groups 3 and 5 were significantly higher than group 2 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The backfilling with fiber post after an apical Biodentine plug provided the highest fracture resistance among all experimental groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM In some parts of the world, revascularization may not be the most feasible treatment option for necrotic immature teeth. Therefore, apexification remains the most widely utilized treatment option for these cases. This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of weakened bovine tooth roots treated with various irrigant solutions as well as long-term application of calcium hydroxide intracanal medication (ICM). MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred seventy bovine teeth were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 50) and two control groups (n = 10). Group SS was irrigated with physiologic solution; group CHX was treated with 2% chlorhexidine gel and group NaOCl was irrigated with 1% sodium hypochlorite. After instrumentation, root canals were dressed with calcium hydroxide and evaluated at different periods (15, 60, 90, 180, and 360 days). The specimens were loaded at a 45° angle to measure fracture resistance through the use of an EMIC test machine. RESULTS A decrease in fracture resistance was observed during the time of ICM dressing. The highest values of fracture resistance were observed in group SS with 15 days of ICM, not differing from the control group. Irrigation with NaOCl associated with ICM for 15 days presented the lowest fracture resistance; however, a statistically significant difference was not observed when compared with SS and CHX in the same time period. In longer periods of exposure to ICM (180 and 360 days), root canals irrigated with NaOCl and CHX showed significantly lower fracture resistance than SS (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Apexification with periodic changes of calcium hydroxide medicament leads to weakness of the teeth independent of the irrigation solution used.
