Purpose:
To investigate the influences of post-post space adaption to the fracture resistance of the immature teeth restored with 3 different diameter fiber posts.
Methods:
Seventy-five untreated maxillary and mandibular premolars were selected, and randomly assigned to 5 groups, including 3 experimental groups (1.3mm,1.6mm,1.9mm fiber post + composite resin cement), 1 positive control(composite resin cement), and 1 negative control. After RCT applied for each tooth, the post space was prepared to standard size and restored according to the protocol. The samples were embedded, and the fracture resistance at cervical 1/3 and middle 1/3 of the root was measured. The data was analyzed with SAS6.0 software package.
Results:
In samples restored with 1.3mm,1.6mm,1.9mm fiber post + composite resin cement, the average fracture resistances at cervical 1/3 were (811±33.85)N, (901±39.85)N and (999±75.40)N, respectively, and (681±26.64)N,(729±28.77)N and (799±21.77)N at middle 1/3,respectively. The difference of the average fracture resistance at cervical 1/3 and middle 1/3 was significant among the 5 groups.
Conclusions:
The adaption of post-post space influences the fracture resistance of immature teeth restored with fiber posts-suggesting post to postspace be matched as much as possible to reinforce the root.
