Physical and mechanical characteristics evaluation of weakened endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber-reinforced composite: open apex and flared root canals
Endodontically treated teeth (ETT) with compromised root canals due to pervasive damage induced by root canal over-instrumentation and incomplete physiological root formation are at high risk of fracture. The use of intra-radicular posts in these teeth is accompanied by a large resin cement layer du...

Endodontically treated teeth (ETT) with compromised root canals due to pervasive damage induced by root canal over-instrumentation and incomplete physiological root formation are at high risk of fracture. The use of intra-radicular posts in these teeth is accompanied by a large resin cement layer due to the discrepency in the size and shape between the post and root canal. This study was conducted to assess the combination of different forms of Fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) used to enhance mechanical behavior of compromised ETT. Eighty extracted human premolar teeth were used in this study. Teeth were randomly allocated to five experimental groups with sixteen teeth per group (n = 16). Eight teeth from each group (n = 8) were submitted for objectives 1-3. The remaining eight teeth (n = 8) were prepared for objective 4. Groups were divided according to canal preparation methods and intra-radicular restoration with either a standard prefabricated fiber post or anatomically customized relined fiber post. Samples were then submitted for evaluation of intracanal adaptation using polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) light body impression material and artificial aging using computer-controlled chewing simulator. Fracture resistance and push-out bond strength tests were then carried out through a universal testing machine followed by mode of failure analysis via a stereomicrosope and scanning electron microscope.
