J Formos Med Assoc 2023; 122:1338-1344. [PMID: 37336647 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2023.06.002] [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: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Chronic fatigue root fracture describes a root fracture in a non-root canal treated (non-RCT) tooth. This study aimed to report the incidence and contributing factors of non-RCT teeth with chronic fatigue root fracture in a Taiwanese population. METHODS This cross-sectional study included teeth extracted at Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan between 2018 and 2019. The reasons for extractions were recorded and included vertical and horizontal root fractures (VRF and HRF). Comparisons of clinical factors between teeth with fatigue VRF and teeth with fatigue HRF were performed by chi-square or Fisher exact test, where appropriate. RESULTS Of the 4207 extracted teeth examined, 263 (6.25%) had tooth fracture. Thirty-two non-RCT teeth had chronic fatigue root fracture, including 16 with VRF and 16 with HRF. The incidence was 0.76% (32/4207). The occurrence of chronic fatigue root fracture was higher in males (83.9%). The mean age of the 31 patients with chronic fatigue root fracture was 71.7 ± 13.1 years. More than half of these teeth had intact crowns with severe attrition. The fatigue VRF occurred more frequently in molars (P = 0.003), in roots with a long oval cross-section (P = 0.037), and in terminal teeth (P = 0.013) than the fatigue HRF. CONCLUSION The incidence of chronic fatigue root fracture is 0.76%. Both VRF and HRF occur mainly in aged males, in posterior teeth with attrition, and in teeth without restoration. Tooth position, cross-section root morphology, and terminal tooth are contributing factors related to chronic fatigue root fracture.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate length of time between full pulpotomy and a definitive diagnosis of vertical root fracture (VRF), as well as the age at which this was made. The participants comprised 63 dental patients (40 men and 23 women) with a mean age of 65.7±10.4 years in whom a definitive diagnosis of VRF had been made between July 2013 and June 2015, and who had also undergone a full pulpotomy. The data on all these cases were obtained from 22 dental clinics belonging to a clinical study group. The mean duration between a full pulpotomy and a definitive diagnosis of VRF was 141.0±88.9 months. The results showed no differences in terms of sex, mandible/maxilla, or tooth type. No relationship was observed between age at which the diagnosis was made and length of time between full pulpotomy and diagnosis (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.162) (p>0.05). Most diagnoses of VRF were made in patients aged over 50 years, irrespective of length of time between full pulpotomy and the diagnosis. These results suggest that age is a stronger indicator of VRF than length of time between full pulpotomy and a definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
In this study, two All-Ceramic (AC) materials—Empress 2 (EMP) (Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and In-Ceram ALUMINA (ICA) (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen, Germany)—were analyzed, along with the effects of 3 luting agents— viz. Zinc Phosphate cement (ZNPO, PhospaCEM PL, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein), Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC, Ketac-Cem Radiopaque, ESPE Dental AG, Seefeld, Germany), and Compolute (COMP, ESPE Dental AG, Seefeld, Germany)—on the final color, using the CIELab system. Color differences (DeltaL, Deltaa, Deltab, and DeltaE) were calculated for samples with luting agents and for samples without luting agents with standard white and black backgrounds, with the use of a spectrophotometer, Luci 100 (Dr. Lange, Berlin, Germany). One-way ANOVA for DeltaL, Deltaa, Deltab, and DeltaE within both the AC systems, with and without luting agents, showed significant contributions of the background (p < 0.05). EMP was seen to be more translucent than ICA. Darker ceramics showed less color variation. Luting agents altered the final color of the restoration. ZNPO was least translucent, followed by GIC and COMP. Marginal increases in thicknesses of ICA samples (0.4 mm) do not show a statistically significant color difference. No method exists to predict the outcome of an AC restoration based on consideration of the luting agent and the background color.

JOURNAL OF DENTAL BIOMECHANICS 2014; 5:1758736014547550. [PMID: 25342986 PMCID: PMC4206691 DOI: 10.1177/1758736014547550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2014] [Accepted: 07/23/2014] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
When fabricating indirect post and core, internal coronal walls are tapered to remove undercuts and allow a better adaptation. To evaluate the fracture strength of anterior tooth reconstructed with post and core and crowned, with two different taper of internal coronal walls, 6° and 30° to the long axis, two groups of 30 clear plastic analogues simulating endodontically treated maxillary central incisors were prepared. The analogues crowned were subjected to a compressive load with a 1-kN cell at a crosshead speed of 0.05 mm/min at 130° to the long axis until fracture occurred. Data were analyzed by Lillifors and Mann–Whitney tests. Mean failure loads for the groups were as follows: group I 1038.69 N (standard deviation ±243.52 N) and group II 1231.86 N (standard deviation ±368.76 N). Statistical tests showed significant difference between groups (p = 0.0010 < 0.01). Increasing the taper of internal coronal walls appears to enhance the fracture resistance of anterior maxillary teeth post and core reconstructed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection and management of vertical root fractures, or VRFs, remain a vexing issue that has caused needless suffering for patients as well as for dentists. The authors present techniques to aid the dentist in recognizing VRFs. METHODS During a five-year period, the authors examined 36 patients who had VRFs. Absent control subjects and a larger number of patients, the authors did not design this investigation for statistical analysis. They diagnosed VRFs through dental histories and clinical and radiographic examinations. RESULTS The study revealed VRFs in 36 teeth, two of which were vital and 34 of which were nonvital (that is, endodontically treated). The 34 VRFs resulted from excessive operative procedures performed in the root canal after endodontic therapy. Thirty-one of these 34 VRFs were caused by poorly designed dowels (too long, too wide or both) or inappropriate selection of the tooth as a bridge abutment; two VRFs were caused by a restoration that exerted lateral pressure on the axial walls of the preparation; and one VRF was caused by overzealous endodontic forces. The VRFs in the two vital teeth were in men who had a history of bruxism or clenching. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS VRFs can be detected early by listening to the patient's chief complaints, carefully examining periapical and bitewing radiographs and performing a thorough clinical examination.

Abstract
Posts and cores are often required for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Many methods for making post-and-core reconstructions have been described. With the increased use of all-ceramic systems for esthetic tooth restorations, there is a need for esthetic core reconstructions. This article describes several methods for fabricating esthetic posts and cores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A lag of many months occurs between journal issue publication and updates to electronic databases. The objective of this literature analysis was to identify and categorize all of the dental materials citations in biomedical journals that were published from July 1995 through December 1995. METHODS Seventeen primary and 51 secondary journals were searched using their tables of contents to detect and record dental materials publications from July to December of 1995. Those journals that were typically rich in dental materials articles were classified as primary ones. Citations were categorized into 17 topics and divided into subsections. The review excluded case reports, most literature related primarily to dental implants, and most articles on biomedical materials used outside of the field of general dentistry. RESULTS The greatest number of citations was related to topics of dentin bonding and resin-based restorative filling materials (composites and glass ionomers). There was no major change in the number of dental materials publications per year reported from 1993 (n = 786) to 1995 (n = 751). SIGNIFICANCE This citation list provides a comprehensive resource for use by academicians and researchers to bridge the gap between initial publication and access to electronic searching methods for major databases.
