Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the fracture resistance and failure mode of endodontically treated premolars reconstructed by different preparation approaches: cervical margin relocation (CMR) and crown lengthening (CL) with complete ferrule (CLF) and partial ferrule (CLPF) with three different post and core systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, 100 maxillary premolars were assigned to the following 10 groups according to their preparation approach and type of post and core system (n = 10): (I) control (intact teeth), (II) prefabricated fiber post (PFP) and composite core with CMR (PFP-CMR), (III) polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite (PEFRC) with CMR (PEFRC-CMR), (IV) casting post (CP) and core with CMR (CP-CMR), (V) PFP-CLPF, (VI) PEFRC-CLPF, (VII) CP-CLPF, (VIII) PFP-CLF, (IX) PEFRC-CLF, and (X) CP-CLF. After thermomechanical loading, the fracture resistance and failure mode were assessed. Data were analyzed statistically (α = 0.05). RESULTS In all post and core systems, the CLPF approach had lower fracture resistance than CMR (p < 0.05); CLF showed higher fracture resistance than CLPF only in the PFP system (p = 0.038). In PEFRC and CP systems, the difference between CLF and CLPF was not significant (p > 0.05). No significant difference was found in fracture resistance of different post and core systems with the same preparation approach (p > 0.05). CLPF showed the highest frequency of favorable, and CLF showed the highest frequency of unfavorable fractures. CONCLUSION CLPF yielded lower fracture resistance than CMR. The difference in fracture resistance was not significant between CLF and CMR but the frequency of unfavorable fractures was higher in CLF than in other groups.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the effect of length of the relocated cervical margin with casting post and core (CP), prefabricated fiber post and composite core (PFP), and polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite (PEFRC) on fracture resistance and marginal integrity. Materials and Methods In this in vitro study, 70 sound human maxillary premolars were divided into seven groups according to the type of post and core system and length of the relocated cervical margin (n = 10): control (no preparation), PFP-3, PEFRC-3, CP-3 with 3 mm of cervical margin relocation (CMR), PFP-6, PEFRC-6, and CP-6 (with 6 mm of CMR). The samples were restored with zirconia crowns (except the control group). Epoxy resin replicas were fabricated before and after thermomechanical loading. Marginal integrity was assessed at the luting cement-core, core-tooth, and luting cement-enamel interfaces under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (×200). Fracture resistance and failure mode were subsequently assessed. Data were analyzed by independent t-test, paired t-test, ANOVA, Tukey-Games Howell, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney with Bonferroni correction, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests (α = 0.05). Results The marginal integrity of the groups with 3 mm of CMR followed the following order: PEFRC > PFP > CP at all interfaces (P < 0.05). In 6-mm CMR groups, this order was CP < PFP = PEFRC at the luting cement-core and (CP < PEFRC) = PFP at the core-tooth interface. No significant difference was found in fracture resistance when comparing the 3-mm CMR groups with each other (P > 0.05). PFP-6 showed higher FR than CP-6 (P < 0.001). PEFRC-6 had no significant difference with PFP-6 and CP-6 (P > 0.05). In each post and core system, 3-mm CMR groups showed higher marginal integrity and fracture resistance (P < 0.05). Conclusion Increasing the length of the relocated cervical margin decreased the marginal integrity and fracture resistance of all three systems of CP, PFP, and PEFRC.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the fracture behavior of upper premolars with deep MOD cavities that were restored with Ribbond resin-reinforced fibers (FRCs) placed in different orientations. Methods A total of 54 extracted maxillary premolars were randomly divided into nine groups. The experimental groups underwent MOD cavity preparation with or without root canal treatment, followed by FRCs placed in the pulpal floor, proximal walls, or both. Fracture resistance was tested using an Instron Machine. The samples were visually inspected to analyze the fracture mode. Results The highest fracture resistance was observed in intact teeth (1299.98 ± 284.66 MPa). Placing Ribbond fibers in the pulpal floor (1155.86 ± 244.21 MPa) or the proximal walls (1077.56 ± 260.60 MPa) significantly improved fracture resistance (p= <0.05), compared to cavities restored with only resin composite (804.58 ± 93.34 MPa). However, placing Ribbond fibers in both the pulpal and proximal walls did not enhance fracture resistance. In the MOD-RCT groups, fracture resistance was improved only when Ribbond fibers were placed in the pulpal floor and the proximal walls. Fracture mode analysis revealed a combined fracture in most of the groups. Conclusion This study concluded that using FRCs significantly improved the fracture resistance of MOD cavities in premolars and revealed that the placement site could be a determinant factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An optimum restoration for reconstructing endodontically treated teeth should provide excellent marginal adaptation, high fracture resistance as well as maximum tooth structure conservation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation and fatigue resistance of different coronal restorations in endodontically treated premolars. METHODS Thirty sound maxillary first premolars were endodontically treated and received MOD cavities. Teeth were randomly allocated into three groups (n = 10) according to the type of coronal restoration: Group R: polyethylene fibers (ribbond), fibers-reinforced composite (everX posterior) and final layer of nano-hybrid composite. Group O: indirect lithium disilicate overlay and Group C: fiber-post, resin composite restoration, and lithium disilicate crown. Marginal gap assessment was performed before and after thermocycling (5000 cycles) using stereomicroscope. Samples were subjected to stepwise-stress loading starting at 200 N, and increased by 100 N in each step until failure occurred. Statistical analysis was done by One-way ANOVA followed Tukey`s Post Hoc test for multiple comparison. Paired t test was used to compare the marginal adaptation before and after thermocycling. Survival probability was evaluated by Life table survival analysis. Failure mode analysis was performed with Chi-square test. RESULTS Marginal gap was significantly the lowest in group R (37.49 ± 5.05) and (42.68 ± 2.38), while being the highest in group C (59.78 ± 5.67) and (71.52 ± 5.18) in before and after thermocycling respectively (P < 0.0001). Fatigue resistance was the highest for group O (1310.8 ± 196.7), and the lowest for group R (905.4 ± 170.51) with a significant difference between groups (P < 0.0001). Crown group had the highest percentage (80%) of catastrophic failure, while, overlay group exhibited the lowest (20%). CONCLUSIONS Direct restoration without cuspal coverage using ribbon fibers with short FRC provided better marginal adaptation than indirect overlays and crowns, but fatigue resistance wasn't significantly improved. Adhesive ceramic overlays showed the best fatigue performance and the least catastrophic failure rate compared to both direct fiber-reinforced composite and indirect ceramic full coverage restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Indirect adhesive overlays are a suitable, more conservative restorative option for endodontically treated teeth than full coverage restorations, especially when tooth structure is severely compromised.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the fracture strength of teeth restored using fiber-reinforced direct restorative materials after endodontic treatment with a conservative mesio-occlusal access cavity design. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 extracted intact mandibular first molars were selected and distributed into a positive control group where teeth left intact and the following four test groups comprised of teeth with conservative mesio-occlusal access cavities that had undergone root canal treatment (n = 20/group): access cavity without restoration (negative control), bulk-fill resin composite with horizontal glass fiber post reinforcement, fiber-reinforced composite with bulk-fill resin and bulk-fill resin composite. Following thermocycling (10,000 cycles), fracture resistance was measured using a universal testing machine. Statistical analyses (one-way analysis of variance and the Tamhane test) were performed, and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS Groups with minimally invasive access cavities had lower fracture strength than intact teeth, regardless of the restoration material (p < 0.05). Fiber-reinforced composite groups demonstrated higher fracture strength than bulk-fill resin composite alone (p < 0.05). Fracture types varied among groups, with restorable fractures predominant in the fiber-reinforced composite groups. CONCLUSION This study suggests that using fiber-reinforced composite materials, especially in combination with bulk-fill resin composites, can effectively enhance the fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth with conservative access cavities. However, using only bulk-fill resin composite is not recommended based on the fracture strength results. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE When teeth that undergo endodontic treatment are restored using a conservative access cavity design and fiber-reinforced composite materials, especially in combination with bulk-fill resin composites, the fracture strength of the teeth can be effectively increased.

Abstract
Background Dual-cure resin-based luting materials are increasingly favored in clinical applications due to their capacity to establish a strong bond with natural tooth structure and restorations. This study aimed to examine certain physical and handling characteristics of newly developed experimental dual-cure luting resins reinforced with short fibers (SFRCs) and compare them with commercially available dual-cure luting resins. Material and Methods Seven dual-cure luting materials were tested (Relyx Ultimate, Duo-Link, eCEMENT, Variolink Esthetic, G-CEM LinkForce, experimental SFRC1, experimental SFRC2). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was utilized to determine the degree of monomer conversion (DC%) in the self and light-curing protocol. A rotating disk rheometer measured viscosity at room temperature (22°C) and simulated mouth temperature (35°C). Fracture toughness, flexural strength, and flexural modulus were evaluated using a 3-point bending test. Each luting resin was subjected to the examination of its surface microstructure using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of (p = 0.05) was conducted to analyze data. Results It was revealed that DC% of the tested dual-cure resins was significantly (p< 0.05) affected by the curing mode, the dual-cure SFRC2 having the highest and Relyx having the lowest DC (64%, and 41% respectively). The viscosity of all tested materials decreased with increasing temperature. SFRC2 demonstrated the highest fracture toughness (2.3 MPa m1/2), while Relyx Ultimate, Duo-Link, and eCEMENT exhibited the lowest values (≈ 1 MPa m1/2)(p< 0.05). Both SFRCs and G-CEM link-force exhibited the highest flexural strength values, and SFRCs resulted in the highest flexural modulus values (p<0.05). Conclusions The experimental fiber-reinforced dual-cure luting resins exhibited superior DC%, fracture toughness, and flexural properties, yet, SFRC2 showed the highest viscosity at elevated temperature. These results highlight the capability of short fiber reinforcement to enhance the mechanical properties of dual-cured resin-based luting materials without compromising handling characteristics. Key words:Dual-cure luting resin; short fibers; degree of conversion; viscosity; fracture toughness; flexural properties.

Abstract
Composite resin is universally used for posterior teeth restorations. Fibers have been suggested for the mechanical improvement of the restorations. This study assessed the fracture resistance of class II fiber-reinforced composite restorations and compared it with the fracture resistance of three control groups: (1) healthy teeth, (2) non-fiber-reinforced restorations and (3) unrestored cavities. A search was performed using PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar from 15 May to 12 June 2023. Only in vitro studies from the last 10 years were included for this systematic analysis. This study was registered in the PROSPERO database, it followed PRISMA guidelines and the risk of bias was assessed using the QUIN tool. Fracture resistance median values, in Newtons (N), were calculated for the experimental and control groups (95% confidence interval). For pairwise comparison, nonparametric tests (p < 0.05) were applied. Twenty-four in vitro studies met the inclusion criteria. The fracture resistance of the experimental group was 976.0 N and differed (p < 0.05) from all controls. The experimental group showed lower values of fracture resistance than healthy teeth (1459.9 N; p = 0.048) but higher values than non-fiber-reinforced restorations (771.0 N; p = 0.008) and unrestored cavities (386.6 N; p < 0.001). In vitro systematic outcomes evidenced that glass and/or polyethylene fibers improved the fracture resistance of composite restorations.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of class II MOD cavities restored using different techniques and materials. Sixty extracted maxillary molars were selected and standardized class II MOD cavities were prepared using a custom-made paralleling device. The specimens were divided into four groups based on the restoration technique used: Group 1 (direct resin composite), Group 2 (short-fiber-reinforced composite resin), Group 3 (composite polyethylene fiber reinforcement), and Group 4 (CAD/CAM resin inlays). Fracture resistance was assessed for each group after thermocycling aging for 10,000 cycles. The mode of fracture was assigned to five types using Burke's classification. To compare the fracture force among the tested materials, a paired sample t-test was performed. The significance level for each test was set at p < 0.05. Significant differences in fracture resistance were observed among the different restoration techniques. CAD/CAM inlays (2166 ± 615 N), short-fiber-reinforced composite resin (2471 ± 761 N), and composite polyethylene fiber reinforcement (1923 ± 492 N) showed superior fracture resistance compared to the group restored with direct resin composite (1242 ± 436 N). The conventional resin composite group exhibited the lowest mean fracture resistance. The choice of restoration material plays a critical role in the clinical survival of large MOD cavities. CAD/CAM inlays and fiber-reinforced composites offer improved fracture resistance, which is essential for long-term success in extensive restorations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavity preparations are often fragile due to the amount of tooth and carious structure removed. MOD cavities can often fracture if left unsupported. AIM The study investigated the maximum fracture load of mesi-occluso-distal cavities restored using direct composite resin restorations with various reinforcement techniques. METHOD Seventy-two freshly extracted, intact human posterior teeth were disinfected, checked, and prepared according to predetermined standards for mesio-occluso-distal cavity design (MOD). The teeth were assigned randomly into six groups. The first group was the control group restored conventionally with a nanohybrid composite resin (Group I). The other five groups were restored with a nanohybrid composite resin reinforced with different techniques: the ACTIVA BioACTIVE-Restorative and -Liner as a dentin substitute and layered with a nanohybrid composite (Group II); the everX Posterior composite resin layered with a nanohybrid composite (Group III); polyethylene fibers called "Ribbond" placed on both axial walls and the floor of the cavity, and layered with a nanohybrid composite (Group IV); polyethylene fibers placed on both axial walls and the floor of the cavity, and layered with the ACTIVA BioACTIVE-Restorative and -Liner as a dentin substitute and nanohybrid composite (Group V); and polyethylene fibers placed on both axial walls and the floor of the cavity and layered with the everX posterior composite resin and nanohybrid composite (Group VI). All teeth were subjected to thermocycling to simulate the oral environment. The maximum load was measured using a universal testing machine. RESULTS The highest maximum load was exhibited by Group III with the everX posterior composite resin, followed by Group IV, Group VI, Group I, Group II, and Group V. A statistically significant difference was demonstrated between groups (p = 0.0023). When adjusting for multiple comparisons, there were statistical differences specific to comparisons between Group III versus I, Group III versus II, Group IV versus II, and Group V versus III. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of the current study, it can be concluded that a higher maximum load resistance can be achieved (statistically significant) when reinforcing nanohybrid composite resin MOD restorations with everX Posterior.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fiber-reinforced composite base material on fracture resistance and fracture pattern of endodontically treated maxillary premolars restored with endocrowns using two different resin nanoceramic computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) restorative material. METHODS Forty extracted sound maxillary premolars with an occlusal reduction of 2 mm above the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) was performed following root canal treatment. Mesial interproximal box was prepared for each tooth at the margin of the CEJ and randomly distributed into four groups (n = 10) as follows: Group A, no resin build-up in the pulp chamber; Group B, 2 mm of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) build-up (EverX Posterior, GC).; Group C, no resin build-up in pulp chamber; Group D, 2 mm of FRC build-up. Groups A and B were prepared with resin nanoceramic (RNC) consisting ceramic nanofillers (Lava Ultimate 3 M ESPE), while Group C and D were prepared with RNC consisting ceramic nanohybrid fillers (Cerasmart GC Corp). All samples were subjected to 1,200,000 chewing cycles (1.6 Hz, 50 N) and 5000 thermal cycles (5°C-55°C) for artificial aging on a chewing simulator with thermal cycles (CSTC). Samples that survived the CSTC test without being damaged were subjected to a load-to-fracture test. RESULTS The highest mean fracture strength was found in Group D (936.0 ± 354.7) and lowest in Group A (684.2 ± 466.9). Fracture strength was higher in groups where FRC was used as a base material than plain restorations. However, there were no significant differences between the Lava and Cerasmart groups with and without FRC (p > 0.05). Most of the samples were irreparably fractured under CEJ. CONCLUSION Using short FRCs as a resin base material did not significantly improve fracture resistance. Cerasmart and Lava blocks had similar fracture resistance and fracture pattern.

Comparison of the debonding force of metal, glass and polyethylene Fiber reinforced composite retainers: Mechanical and finite element analyses. Int Orthod 2022; 20:100685. [PMID: 36153239 DOI: 10.1016/j.ortho.2022.100685] [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: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The studies evaluating the efficiency of fiber reinforce composite (FRC) retainers are few and contradictory. This study aimed to compare the debonding force of metal, glass FRC (GFRC) and polyethylene FRC (PFRC) retainers, assess the interactions between the materials and forces, and pattern of load distribution by finite element analysis (FEA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight sound lower incisors were collected and randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=8; each sample included 2 teeth). Next, 15mm of the three retainers (multi-stranded metal wire, GFRC, and PFRC) were bonded to the lingual surface of the teeth and debonding force was measured by a universal testing machine. For FEA, 3D models were designed. The data related to geometrical models and material properties were transferred to ANSYS software. A 187-Newton load was applied to the incisal edge of the two centrals. Then different parameters were assessed. The three groups were compared by one-way Anova and Tukey's test. Type one error was considered to be 0.05. RESULTS The debonding force decreased in the order: Metal (143.71N)≥GFRC (108.29N)>PFRC (45.08N). The difference between metal retainer and GFRC was not significant. In contrast, PFRC group showed significantly lower debonding force compared to other groups (P<0.05). FEA showed stress peak value in metal-composite interface. Maximum total deformation was noted in central, followed by lateral and canine. CONCLUSIONS Glass-FRC can serve as an alternative to metal retainers as the difference in debonding force is not significant. However, the difficulty of repairing or replacing the Glass-FRC should be taken into account given the large number of failure in the interproximal dental area.

Fracture Resistance of Anterior Crowns Reinforced by Short-Fiber Composite. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14091809. [PMID: 35566978 PMCID: PMC9104931 DOI: 10.3390/polym14091809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity of anterior crowns made of different commercial particulate-filled composites (PFCs) and reinforced by a core of short-fiber composite (SFC) (bilayer structure). Four groups of composite crowns were fabricated for an upper central incisor (n = 20/group). Two groups were made of chair-side PFC composites (G-aenial anterior, GC, Japan and Denfil, Vericom, Korea) with or without SFC-core (everX Flow, GC). One group was made of laboratory PFC composite (Gradia Plus, GC) with or without SFC-core. The last group was made of plain SFC composite polymerized with a hand-light curing unit only or further polymerized in a light-curing oven. Using a universal-testing device, crown restorations were statically loaded until they fractured, and failure modes were visually investigated. Analysis of variance (p = 0.05) was used to evaluate the data, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Bilayer structure crowns with SFC-core and surface PFC gave superior load-bearing capacity values compared to those made of monolayer PFC composites; however, significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in the chair-side composite groups. Additional polymerization has no impact on the load-bearing capacity values of SFC crowns. Using SFC as a core material with PFC veneering composite to strengthen anterior crown restorations proved to be a promising strategy for further testing.

Mechanical Performance of Direct Restorative Techniques Utilizing Long Fibers for “Horizontal Splinting” to Reinforce Deep MOD Cavities—An Updated Literature Review. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14071438. [PMID: 35406311 PMCID: PMC9002665 DOI: 10.3390/polym14071438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Excessive cavity preparation and root canal treatment leads to a weakened tooth structure with a lower resistance to fracture. Fiber reinforcement is frequently used to reinforce such teeth, and multiple fiber types and possible applications exist. Various methods for utilizing long fibers to internally splint the remaining cavity walls in the case of large mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities have been proposed; however, no summary of their performance has been written up to now. Our study aims to review the available literature to evaluate and compare the mechanical performance of the different materials and methods utilized for horizontal splinting in large MOD cavities. Three independent authors performed a thorough literature search using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar up until January 2022. The authors selected in vitro studies that used long fibers placed horizontally in posterior teeth with large MOD cavities to reinforce these teeth. From 1683 potentially relevant articles, 11 publications met our inclusion criteria. Seven out of eleven studies showed that horizontal splinting with long fibers improved the fracture resistance of the restored teeth. Three articles showed no significant difference between the fracture resistance of the restored groups. Only one article reported a lower fracture resistance to the horizontally splinted group, compared to conventional direct composite restoration. Within the limitations of this review, evidence suggests that long fiber reinforcement could be used to improve the fracture resistance of heavily restored teeth.

J ESTHET RESTOR DENT 2022; 34:650-660. [PMID: 35233926 DOI: 10.1111/jerd.12895] [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: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate if the marginal microleakage of extensive Class I composite resin restorations can be affected by applying ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers with the wallpapering technique combined with different restorative materials and methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 120 human molars were selected and one extensive Class I cavity was prepared on the occlusal surface of each tooth. The specimens were divided into 12 groups (n = 10) according to the type of restorative material (Filtek Z550, Beautifil II LS or Beautifil Bulk Restorative), the use or not of reinforcing fibers (ribbond) and the applied restorative technique (incremental or bulk). The specimens were subjected to thermocycling and then immersed into a 50 wt% silver nitrate solution following a dying protocol. Subsequently, the teeth were prepared for SEM observations to evaluate the extent of marginal microleakage. RESULTS Three-way ANOVA revealed that the type of material, the use of ribbond fibers and the type of restorative technique significantly affected marginal microleakage (p < 0.001). Application of ribbond fibers decreased marginal microleakage to all tested restorative materials, regardless of the restorative technique, in a range of 31.2-81.4%. In the groups with no-use of ribbond fibers, among the materials there were no significant differences in microleakage when the teeth were restored with the incremental technique (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The use of UHMWPE fibers with wallpapering technique in Class I composite restorations may be an effective method to reduce marginal microleakage, regardless of the selected restorative technique or the material. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians may be encouraged to utilize reinforcing fiber restorative techniques for direct restorations of structurally compromised teeth as a valid alternative to indirect restorations.

Fracture resistance of root canal-treated molars restored with ceramic overlays with/without different resin composite base materials: an in vitro study. Odontology 2022; 110:497-507. [PMID: 35064356 DOI: 10.1007/s10266-021-00682-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of different restorative protocols on fracture resistance of root canal-treated molars. 48 mandibular first molars were used and divided into six groups (n = 8); G1 (negative control): teeth kept intact. G2 (positive control): teeth had root canal treatment and standard MOD cavity preparations but kept unrestored. G3: prepared as G2 and directly restored with VitaEnamic ceramic overlays (CO). G4: as G3, but the pulp chamber was restored first with smart dental restorative (SureFil SDR flow = SDR) bulk-fill flowable composite base. G5: as G3, but the pulp chamber was restored first with SonicFill (SF) bulk-fill composite base. G6: as G3, but the pulp chamber was restored first with a fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) base. All samples were subjected to thermocycling between 5 °C and 55 °C in a water bath for a total of 2000 cycles with 10 s dwell time. Then specimens were individually mounted on a computer-controlled testing machine with a load cell of 5 kN, and the maximum load to produce fracture (N) was recorded. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test (P = 0.05). There was a significant difference between the groups (P < 0.001). Teeth restored with FRC and ceramic overlays had the highest load-bearing capacity. Pulp chamber restoration with either FRC or SDR before ceramic overlay fabrication provided significantly better tooth reinforcement than ceramic overlay alone (P < 0.001). Fracture modes were analyzed to determine the type of fracture as repairable or catastrophic, where FRC + CO and SDR + CO groups had favorable fracture modes that were mostly repairable. When restoring root canal-treated molars with overlays, the pulp chamber should be sealed with either FRC or SDR to ensure the best possible fracture resistance. The clinical relevance of the study is that a new simple restorative protocol is presented to enhance the survival of root canal-treated molars using ceramic overlays.
