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...

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. Assessment of intra-canal adaptation showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in PVS material weight between the groups. Group 1 (control) had the lightest weight of PVS material, followed by groups restored with customized fiber posts (Group 4 and Group 5) and groups restored with standard fiber posts (Group 2 and Group 3). Artificial aging test results through Pairwise Log-Rank comparisons revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between Group 1 (control group), Group 5 and Group 4 (p>0.05).
