Influence of surface remodelling using burs on the macro and micro surface morphology of anatomically formed fibre posts (original) (raw)

Influence on retention improvement of fiber posts by surface conditioning in vitro study

Romanian Biotechnological Letters

Purpose of the study: The aim of the study is to assess the influence of surface conditioning of fiberglass posts through etching and sandblasting, on retention to root canal. Material and method: 30 maxillary single root teeth were endodontic treated and were sectioned at 2 mm from enamel-dentine junction. After root canal instrumentation, fiberglass posts with same length were adhesively cemented. Tooth-post assembly mounted in a special conformer, was loaded by a universal testing machine, recording the force and displacement at which the post is dislocated first. Data has been statistically analyzed. Results: In the experimental group where posts were acid engraved samples yielded on greater forces (117.75 N) then group with sand blasted posts (101 N), but lower than the control group (129.36 N). Differences between the groups analyzed using ANOVA test, are not statistically significant. Conclusions: The displacements phenomenon at the interfaces dentin-adhesive-post is not significantly influenced by the type of treatment of the posts surface, compared to the control group.

Placement of fiber prefabricated or custom made posts affects the 3-year survival of endodontically treated premolars

American journal of dentistry, 2008

To assess whether the amount of residual coronal dentin and the placement of a prefabricated (DT Light Post) (LP) or a customized fiber post (Ever Stick Post) (ES) have a significant influence on the 3-year survival of endodontically treated premolars. A sample of 345 patients provided six groups of 60 premolars in need of endodontic treatment. Groups were defined based on the amount of dentin left at the coronal level after endodontic treatment and before abutment build-up. Within each group teeth were randomly divided into three subgroups (n = 20). In Subgroup A, no root canal retention was provided for the coronal restoration. In Subgroups B and C, LP and ES, respectively, were placed inside the root canal. All the teeth were finally restored with a single unit metal-ceramic crown. Data were not affected by any loss to follow-up. The overall 36-month survival rate of crowned endodontically treated premolars was 76.7%. The lowest survival rate was recorded for teeth restored witho...

Comparison Between Two Clinical Procedures for Bonding Fiber Posts into a Root Canal: A Microscopic Investigation

Journal of Endodontics, 2002

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of two brushes used as carriers of a primer-adhesive solution as to the formation of resin tags, adhesive lateral branches, and a hybrid layer when used to bond translucent fiber posts. Twenty endodontically treated teeth, extracted for periodontal reasons, were used. The samples were randomly divided into two groups of 10 samples each (Group 1: Microbrush ؉ Scotchbond 1 ؉ Rely X ARC resin cement; Group 2: small plastic brush ؉ Scotchbond 1 ؉ Rely X ARC resin cement). The adhesive system and resin cement were used strictly following manufacturers' instructions. The priming-adhesive solution of the one-bottle system was light-cured before placing the resin cement and the post. Twenty translucent fiber posts were used. After luting procedures, root samples were processed for SEM observations. The adhesive system showed a resin dentin interdiffusion zone (RDIZ), resin tag, and adhesive lateral branch formation. Microscopic examination of restored interfaces of group 1 showed a higher percentage (p < 0.05) of RDIZ than those found in samples of group 2. In group 1 samples, RDIZ morphology was well detectable and uniform in all thirds of the root canals. In group 2, RDIZ was not visible in the apical third. No statistically significant differences were found among the two groups coronally and at the middle third, but the apical third of group 1 showed significantly more resin tag formation than group 2. The characteristic reverse cone shape of resin tags was always noted in the coronal and middle third of the root canals of both groups and in the apical third of group 1. In the apical third of group 2 root canals, the resin tags showed a less uniform morphology and a shorter length than those found in the other observed thirds.

Effect of Intracanal Post Space Treatments on Push-Out Bond Strength of Fiber Posts to Root Dentin

Journal of Dentistry of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2017

The main disadvantage of fiber posts is their low bond strength to root canal wall. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of different root canal post space treatments on push-out bond strength of fiber posts to root canal dentin. After post space preparation in 40 endodontically treated human premolars, the teeth were randomly divided into four experimental groups: Group 1: control group, group 2: Endsolv R, group 3: ultrasonic cleaning, group 4: Clearfil Repair. Afterwards, the posts were bonded with Panavia F 2.0 bonding cement. The bond strength of fiber posts to root canal wall in the middle part of canal was evaluated following thermocycling using push-out test. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tamhane's multiple comparisons test. The failure mode of each group was determined under a stereomicroscope. There was a significant difference in the mean push-out bond strength among the groups (P<0.05). The lowest bond strength was noted in the contro...

Effect of post materials on the biomechanical behaviour of endodontically treated tooth

Objectives: To study the stress distributions in maxillary central incisor restored with Ni-Cr custom-made, gold custom-made, prefabricated titanium and prefabricated glass fibre dental posts subjected to oblique occlusal load at 100 N. Materials and Methods: Four three dimensional finite element models of a maxillary central incisor restored with Ni-Cr (Model I), gold custom-made (Model II), prefabricated titanium (Model III) and prefabricated glass fibre (Model IV) dental posts were constructed and oblique loading of 100 N was applied. Stress analysing at the along the centre of the post and post-surrounding structure interfaces were computed. Results: The result of this study indicates that the clinical three-dimensional image provided information about the behaviour of teeth under function in all directions. The results obtained from a finite element model on the restored system contain information about the stress distribution of each component of the restoration. The maximum von Mises stress distribution at post center was recorded with Model I (38.6 MPa), followed by Model III (22.4 MPa) and Model II (20.8 MPa) respectively; whereas the minimum amount of stress was noticed in Model IV (10.9 MPa). At post dentin interface, the highest von Mises stress distribution was noticed with Model I (29.8 MPa), followed by Model III (18.9 MPa) and Model II (18.8 MPa) respectively; whereas the smallest amount of stress was noticed in Model IV (10.16 MPa). Conclusions: Glass fibre posts generated the least amount of stress concentration at middle and apical part of the posts compared to other dental posts.

Effects of Surface Treatments of Glass Fiber-Reinforced Post on Bond Strength to Root Dentine: A Systematic Review

Materials, 2020

The objective of this systematic review was to determine the influence of surface treatment of glass fiber posts on bond strength to dentine. Laboratory studies were searched in MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, PubMed Central, Scopus, and Web of Science search engine. All authors interdependently screened all identified articles for eligibility. The included studies were assessed for bias. Because of the considerable heterogeneity of the studies, a meta-analysis was not possible. Twelve articles were found eligible and included in the review. An assessment of the risk of bias in the included studies provided a result that classified the studies as low, medium, and high risk of bias. The available evidence indicated that the coronal region of the root canal bonded better to the glass fiber post than apical regions. Phosphoric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and silane application enhance post’s retentiveness. In light of the current evidence, surface treatment strategies increase the bond strength ...

Influence of different surface treatments of fiberglass posts on the bond strength to dentin

Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences

Aim: To assess the influence of different fiberglass post surface treatments on the bond strength (BS) to root dentin. Methods: Thirty bovine root canals were endodontically treated and filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. At 24 h after the endodontic filling, the post spaces were prepared with Gates-Glidden drills and #3 drills of the DC White Post system, maintaining a 4 mm apical seal. The roots were randomly divided into three groups: S (fiberglass posts treated with silane), SA (fiberglass posts treated with silane and a hydrophobic adhesive system) and SHA (fiberglass posts treated with silane, followed by drying with hot air). The posts were cemented with a selfadhesive cement (RelyX U200). The specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 24 h and subjected to the push-out test (0.5 mm/min). Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05) Results: SA and SHA groups showed the highest BS mean values (11.29 and 10.85 MPa, resp...

Dental Fiber-Post Systems: An In-Depth Review of Their Evolution, Current Practice and Future Directions

Bioengineering

The field of dental medicine is constantly evolving and advancing toward minimally invasive techniques. Several studies have demonstrated that bonding to the tooth structure, particularly enamel, yields the most predictable results. In some instances, however, significant tooth loss, pulpal necrosis, or irreversible pulpitis may limit the options available to the restorative dentist. In these cases, placement of a post and core followed by a crown is the preferred treatment option, provided all requirements are met. This literature review provides an overview of the historical development of dental FRC post systems as well as a comprehensive examination of the currently available posts and their bonding requirements. In addition, it offers valuable insights for dental professionals seeking to understand the current state of the field and the prospects of dental FRC post systems.
