dos Santos Junior WL, Santi MR, Lins RBE, Martins LRM. Effects of a relined fiberglass post with conventional and self-adhesive resin cement. Restor Dent Endod 2024; 49:e18. [PMID: 38841382 PMCID: PMC11148402 DOI: 10.5395/rde.2024.49.e18] [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: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study was conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of relined and non-relined fiberglass posts when cemented to root canal dentin using a conventional dual-cure resin cement or a self-adhesive resin cement. Materials and Methods Two types of resin cements were utilized: conventional and self-adhesive. Additionally, 2 cementation protocols were employed, involving relined and non-relined fiberglass posts. In total, 72 bovine incisors were cemented and subjected to push-out bond strength testing (n = 10) followed by failure mode analysis. The cross-sectional microhardness (n = 5) was assessed along the root canal, and interface analyses (n = 3) were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data from the push-out bond strength and cross-sectional microhardness tests were analyzed via 3-way analysis of variance and the Bonferroni post-hoc test (α = 0.05). Results For non-relined fiberglass posts, conventional resin cement exhibited higher push-out bond strength than self-adhesive cement. Relined fiberglass posts yielded comparable results between the resin cements. Type II failure was the most common failure mode for both resin cements, regardless of cementation protocol. The use of relined fiberglass posts improved the cross-sectional microhardness values for both cements. SEM images revealed voids and bubbles in the incisors with non-relined fiberglass posts. Conclusions Mechanical properties were impacted by the cementation protocol. Relined fiberglass posts presented the highest push-out bond strength and cross-sectional microhardness values, regardless of the resin cement used (conventional dual-cure or self-adhesive). Conversely, for non-relined fiberglass posts, the conventional dual-cure resin cement yielded superior results to the self-adhesive resin cement.

Evaluation of microhardness of short fiber-reinforced composites inside the root canal after different light curing methods - An in vitro study. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 150:106324. [PMID: 38113823 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106324] [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: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) materials make it possible to reinforce root canal treated teeth with individualized, directly layered intraradicular posts (the Bioblock technique). The question arises, however, as to whether the photopolymerization of the material is sufficient deep within the root canal space and if it can be improved through different light-conducting options. Our study aimed to investigate the hardness of intraradicular SFRC material applied using the Bioblock technique and cured with various illumination methods, as measured through nanoindentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this investigation, thirty plastic artificial teeth that had undergone root canal treatment were selected. These teeth were randomly divided into six study groups (Group 1-6; each group consisting of 5 teeth). The restoration procedures involved the use of SFRC or conventional composite materials, placed 6 mm apically from the root canal orifice. In Group 1 and 2, a conventional composite was used, whereas in Group 3-6, SFRC was employed for interradicular reinforcement (with a layered technique in Group 3 and 4 and a bulk-fill technique in Group 5 and 6). A modified light source was utilized for photopolymerization in Group 2, 4, and 6, whereas in Group 3 and 5, the polymerization light was directed through a prefabricated glass fiber posts. The control group (Group 1) utilized conventional composite material with a standard light-curing method. Following embedding and sectioning, the hardness of the composite materials was measured at 2 mm intervals within the root canal (1st, 2nd, 3rd measurements, in the coronal to apical direction). RESULTS During the 1st measurement, light curing conducted through the glass fiber posts (Group 3 and 5) led to markedly higher hardness levels compared to the groups restored with conventional composite (control group with p = 0.002, p = 0.001, and Group 2 with p = 0.043, p = 0.034, respectively). In the 2nd measurement, only Group 5 demonstrated significantly greater hardness in comparison to the control group (p = 0.003) and Group 2 (p = 0.015). However, in the 3rd measurement, no statistically significant differences were observed among the groups. CONCLUSION light curing through the glass fiber post provides outstanding hardness for the SFRC material in the apical layer in the root canal.

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

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments and thermocycling (TC) on the push-out bond strength of two brands of glass fiber posts (GFPs) to composite resin. METHODS White Post DC (WP) (FGM Dental Group International, Joinville, Santa Catarina, BR) and Exacto (EC) (Angelus, Clinical Research Dental, Londrina, PR, Brazil). GFPs were cleaned with 70% alcohol and divided into five groups, according to the surface treatment (n=15): control (C), without treatment; prehydrolyzed silane (S-pre) (Prosil, FGM Dental Group International); 37% phosphoric acid + prehydrolyzed silane AcS-pre); Scotchbond Universal Adhesive System (AdU), 3M Oral Care; two-bottle silane (S2B) (Dentsply Sirona Inc). The composite resin was inserted around the posts by using a split matrix. The samples were cut into 1-mm slices. Half of the samples were subjected to the push-out test immediately, and the other half underwent TC before the test. After failure analysis, the data were submitted to three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (α=0.05). RESULTS EC achieved higher bond strength than WP, regardless of TC (p<0.05). Regarding WP, surface treatments (p<0.001) and TC (p<0.001) influenced bonding strength. As for EC without TC, the highest bond strength (p<0.05) was found for C, then AcSpre, S-pre, AdU, and S2B. Application of TC resulted in a statistically higher bond strength values for the EC AcS-pre group (p<0.05), followed by S2B, S-pre, C, and AdU. The WP failures were predominantly cohesive, similar to the EC AdU and EC S2B groups. The other EC groups showed mostly mixed failures. CONCLUSIONS Surface treatment and TC affected the bond strength to composite resin, depending on which post was used. It is important for dentists to understand the effects of different types of silanization on their chosen post.

How the translucency of direct anatomic fiber posts affects the bond strength and microhardness of a self-adhesive luting agent in flared roots. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:4447-4456. [PMID: 35166941 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04408-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of the composite resin translucency used in direct anatomic fiber posts on the bond strength (BS) and microhardness (VHN) of a luting agent into flared roots. MATERIALS AND METHODS The root canals of 70 single-rooted premolars were endodontically treated and prepared to simulate an oversized root canal. Prior to post cementation, composite resins with varying translucency (high translucent, HT; medium translucent, MT; high opacity, HO) were placed around the fiber posts to create anatomic fiber posts. The attenuation profile (%) of light passing either through the post or through the anatomic posts (n = 8) was obtained prior to the cementing procedures. A positive control group (PC) in which a prefabricated fiber post (PFP) with the diameter compatible with the root canal was cemented and a poorly adapted fiber post (negative control group, NC) were also evaluated. For both tests, the data were subjected to 2-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS A more severe light attenuation through the post at the cervical (P < .001) and medium (P < 0.001) thirds was noted when less translucent composite resin surrounded the anatomic post. HO groups showed lower BS (P = .009) and VHN (P < .001) values than the other groups, regardless of root third. No significant difference in BS values was noted between PC and HT groups. CONCLUSION The use of a more translucent composite resin in anatomic fiber posts increased the microhardness and bond strength of a dual polymerization self-adhesive RLA compared to the use of MT and HO composite. A well-adapted PFP showed the highest adhesive and mechanical behavior. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians should choose more translucent composite resins to create direct anatomic fiber posts to be cemented in flared root canals. That choice may allow improved mechanical properties of self-adhesive RLA and higher bond strength to the root canal as a consequence.

Fatigue performance of endodontically treated premolars restored with direct and indirect cuspal coverage restorations utilizing fiber-reinforced cores. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 26:3501-3513.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the fatigue survival and fracture behavior of endodontically treated (ET) premolars restored with different types of post-core and cuspal coverage restorations. Materials and methods MOD cavities were prepared on 108 extracted maxillary premolars. During the endodontic treatment, all teeth were instrumented with rotary files (ProTaper Universal) to the same apical enlargement (F2) and were obturated with a matched single cone obturation. After the endodontic procedure, the cavities were restored with different post-core and overlay restorations (n = 12/group). Three groups (A1–A3) were restored with either conventional composite core (PFC; control) or flowable short-fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) core with/without custom-made fiber posts and without overlays. Six groups had similar post-core foundations as described above but with either direct PFC (B1–B3) or indirect CAD/CAM (C1–C3) overlays. Fatigue survival was tested for all restorations using a cyclic loading machine until fracture occurred or 50,000 cycles were completed. Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis was conducted, followed by pairwise post hoc comparisons. Results None of the restored teeth survived all 50,000. Application of flowable SFRC as luting-core material with fiber post and CAD/CAD overlays (Group C3) showed superior performance regarding fatigue survival (p < 0.05) to all the other groups. Flowable SFRC with fiber post and direct overlay (Group B3) showed superior survival compared to all other direct techniques (p < 0.05), except for the same post-core foundation but without cuspal coverage (Group A3). Conclusions Custom-made fiber post and SFRC as post luting core material with or without cuspal coverage performed well in terms of fatigue resistance and survival when used for the restoration of ET premolars. Clinical relevance The fatigue survival of direct and indirect cuspal coverage restorations in ET MOD premolars is highly dependent on whether the core build-up is fiber-reinforced or not. The combination of short and long fibers in the form of individualized post-cores seems to offer a favorable solution in this situation.

Surface modification of glass fiber-reinforced composite posts to enhance their bond strength to resin-matrix cements: an integrative review. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 26:95-107. [PMID: 34713360 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-04221-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endodontically treated teeth usually can reveal an extensive loss of dental structure and require the use of intraradicular posts to provide adequate support and retention. Retention of the post depends on the surface treatment of the endodontic post itself and on the root canal dentin as well as on the type of resin-matrix cement. PURPOSE The main aim of this study was to conduct an integrative review on the influence of different surface treatment methods of glass fiber-reinfored resin composite (GFRC) posts on their push-out bond strength to resin-matrix cements in endodontically treated teeth rehabiliation. METHOD A literature search was performed on PubMed (via National Library of Medicine) regarding articles published within the last 10 years, using the following combination of search terms: "intracanal post" OR "endodontic post" OR "root canal post" OR "intraradicular post" OR "glass fiber" AND "resin cement" AND "adhesion" OR "bond strength" OR "shear bond strength" OR "push out". RESULTS Results from the selected studies recorded the highest push-out bond strength around 22.5 MPa) on GFRC posts to resin-matrix cements when the surfaces were pre-treated by grit-blasting with silicate followed by silane conditioning. However, high values of push-out bond strength (21.5 MPa) were also noticed for GFRC posts after etching with hydrogen peroxide followed by silance conditioning. Thus, the highest values of bond strength of endodontic posts to the resin-matrix cements were recorded when a combined physico-chemical approach was assessed. Non-treated surfaces showed the lowest bond strength values between 5 to and 9 MPa. Surface analyses of GFRC posts showed an increased roughness after grit-blasting or etching that promoted a mechanical interlocking of the adhesive and resin-matrix cements. CONCLUSION The combined treatment of glass fiber-reinforced resin composite post surfaces by physical and chemical methods can promote the increase in roughness and chemical functionalization of the surfaces prior to cementation., That results in a high mechanical interlocking of the resin-matrix cements and a stable retention of the teeth root intracanal posts. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Combining chemical and physical modification methods of surfaces can provide the most promising adhesion-enhancing pathways of GFRC posts to resin-matrix cements, that can decrease the risk of clinical failures by fracture and detachment of endodontic posts.

Could light-curing time, post-space region and cyclic fatigue affect the nanomechanical behavior of a dual-curing cement for fiber post luting? J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 125:104886. [PMID: 34695660 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of curing time, post-space region and cyclic fatigue on the micromechanical properties of a fiber-post luting cement. The null hypotheses were that (1) curing time, (2) fatigue and (3) post-space region does not affect the nanoindentation modulus and hardness of the dual-curing cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS 48 premolars were endodontically treated and a class I cavity and 8 mm deep post space was prepared. Fiber posts were luted with a universal, dualized adhesive system and a dual-curing cement following manufacturer's instructions. Specimens were divided into three groups (16 specimens for each group) according to light-curing time (no light-curing, 20 s light-curing and 120 s light-curing), which was performed with a LED lamp at 1000 mW/cm 2. The coronal part of the cavity was restored using a nano-filled resin composite. After 24 h, 8 specimens for each group were randomly extract in order to undergo to fatigue test in wet condition through a chewing simulator, while the other specimens were kept in distilled water as benchmark. All the restored teeth were then sectioned in 1 mm thick slices perpendicularly to the fiber post axis. Specimen slices were classified in coronal and apical to be tested through a nanoindenter. Data were analyzed through Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of 1%, in order to evaluate the influence of treatments (i.e., curing time and cyclic loading) on the micromechanical properties of the tested luting cement. RESULTS Both fatigue and curing time significantly influenced nanoindentation modulus and hardness of dual-curing cement (p < 0.01). No significant differences were reported for post space region. A significant interaction was found among the analyzed factors (p < 0.01). SIGNIFICANCE 120 s light-curing time is recommended in order to achieve optimal mechanical proprieties, independently from post space region and cyclic fatigue. As matter of fact, 120 s light-curing allowed to prevent strain hardening induced by the fatigue simulation.

Abstract
AIM To fabricate and characterize nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) grafted and non-grafted glass fibre-based endodontic posts. METHODOLOGY Experimental glass fibre posts were fabricated using silanized nHA grafted (ex-HA) and non-grafted glass fibre (ex-P) reinforced resins. The structural analysis and morphological patterns were analysed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. EverStick® glass fibre posts (eS) were used as a control group. The degree of conversion, flexural strength, and flexural modulus was investigated and the fractured structure was evaluated with a scanning electron microscope. Root canals were prepared in human extracted teeth restored with experimental and control posts. The push-out bond strength was evaluated with radicular dentine at days 7, 30, and 90, and the presence of voids at the interface were measured at day 1, 7, 30, and 90 with micro-computed tomography. The Shapiro-Wilk test and one-way ANOVA post-hoc Tukey's test were performed. The level of significance was set at 0.05. RESULTS The SEM and FTIR confirmed the presence of a silane-coupling agent on the glass fibres. The ex-HA post had a significantly lower degree of conversion compared to the ex-P post (p = .0008), but a significantly higher conversion than the eS post (p = .0014). The maximum flexural strength value was obtained with the ex-HA post with an insignificant difference (p = .366) compared to ex-P post and a significant difference (p = .029) compared to the eS post. The flexural modulus of ex-HA, ex-P, and eS posts were significantly different (p = .037). Similarly, the ex-HA post had a significantly higher push-out bond strength at days 7 and 30 (p = .037) compared to the ex-P and eS posts. The volume of voids had a nonlinear behaviour amongst the groups with no significant difference between the posts. CONCLUSION The fabrication of the experimental posts was successful and the ex-HA post had greater flexural strength and push-out bond strength compared to the ex-P post. The degree of conversion of the ex-HA post was lower than the ex-P and eS posts. The volume of voids of ex-HA and ex-P posts was lower than that of eS posts.

The resin-matrix cement layer thickness resultant from the intracanal fitting of teeth root canal posts: an integrative review. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:5595-5612. [PMID: 34432138 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-04070-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 07/04/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to perform an integrative review on the layer thickness and microstructure of resin-matrix cements around custom-made or standard teeth root intracanal posts. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted on the PubMed using a combination of the following scientific terms: intraradicular post, root intracanal post, resin cement, thickness, adaptation, endodontic post, layer thickness, fit, shape, and endodontic core. The literature selection criteria accepted articles published in the English language, up to May 2021, involving in vitro analyses, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and prospective cohort studies. RESULTS The search identified 154 studies, of which 24 were considered relevant to this study. The selected studies provided important data considering cement layer thickness, tooth preparation, endodontic post, and type of resin-matrix cement. The anatomical variability of root canal systems, such as the oval- or C-shaped, represents a challenge in dental restoration with tooth root intracanal posts. The fitting of intracanal posts to different root regions is variable resulting in thick and irregular layers of resin-matrix cement. Defects like pores, micro-cracks, and micro-gaps were detected in the resin-matrix cement microstructure and represent spots of stress concentration and fracture. Custom-made tooth root intracanal posts provide a proper fitting and decrease the layer thickness of resin-matrix cement. CONCLUSIONS In fact, the layer thickness of resin-matrix cements depends on the fitting of endodontic posts to tooth root canals. An increase of resin cement thickness causes the appearance of defects like pores, micro-cracks, and micro-gaps that can induce stress concentration and fractures at interfaces. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The fitting of the endodontic post into the teeth root canal determine the layer thickness of the resin-matrix cement to establish an adequate retention. However, the increase in the thickness of the resin-matrix cement layer can lead to a high number of defects like pores or cracks and therefore decrease the strength of the interface.

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

Fatigue failure of anterior teeth without ferrule restored with individualized fiber-reinforced post-core foundations. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 118:104440. [PMID: 33689903 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to explore the survival of extensively damaged anterior teeth without ferrule restored with different fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post-core foundations and composite crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty extracted upper central incisors were decoronated and randomly divided into four groups (n = 15). After endodontic treatment, the specimens were restored with different individualized fiber-reinforced post-core foundations as follows: control group (CTRL): multiple unidirectional FRC-post + dual-cure composite-core, PFC: multiple unidirectional FRC-post + packable short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC), BPFC: Bioblock technique with only packable SFRC, BFFC: Bioblock technique with only flowable SFRC. After core build-up, the teeth were finalized with adhesively luted CAD/CAM composite crowns. Cyclic isometric loading (5 Hz) was applied at 100 N for 5000 cycles, and then 200 N and 300 N for 15,000 cycles each in a fluid chamber. The specimens were loaded until fracture occurred or when a total of 35,000 cycles were reached. Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis was conducted, followed by pairwise log-rank post hoc comparisons (Mantel-Cox). RESULTS The survival rates of the control (8279 cycles) and PFC (6161 cycles) were significantly higher compared to BPFC (3223 cycles) and BFFC (2271 cycles) (p < 0.05). Regarding fracture pattern, nearly all specimens fractured in a restorable manner. CONCLUSIONS For restoring extensively damaged anterior teeth, multiple unidirectional FRC posts are recommended. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although different FRC post/core systems are available for the restoration of damaged root canal treated anterior teeth, multiple unidirectional FRC posts tend to be a good option when the ferrule is missing.

Fráter M, Sáry T, Garoushi S. Bioblock technique to treat severe internal resorption with subsequent periapical pathology: a case report. Restor Dent Endod 2020; 45:e43. [PMID: 33294408 PMCID: PMC7691266 DOI: 10.5395/rde.2020.45.e43] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
A variety of therapeutic modalities can be used for the endodontic treatment of a traumatized tooth with internal root resorption (IRR). The authors present a case report of the successful restoration of a traumatized upper central incisor that was weakened due to severe IRR and subsequent periapical lesion formation. A 20-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic with severe internal resorption and subsequent periapical pathosis destroying the buccal bone wall. Root canal treatment had been initiated previously at another dental practice, but at that time, the patient's condition could not be managed even with several treatments. After cone-beam computed tomography imaging and proper chemomechanical cleaning, the tooth was managed with a mineral trioxide aggregate plug followed by root canal filling using short fiber-reinforced composite, known as the Bioblock technique. This report is the first documentation of the use of the Bioblock technique in the restoration of a traumatized tooth. The Bioblock technique appears to be ideal for restoring wide irregular root canals, as in cases of severe internal resorption, because it can uniquely fill out the hollow irregularities of the canal. However, further long-term clinical investigations are required to provide additional information about this new technique.
