Aim:
This in vitro study aimed to test the fracture resistance of 4 different posts used in the restoration of severely decayed primary incisors.
Materials And Methods:
Fifty primary incisors were selected for this study and sectioned 1 mm above the CEJ. After filing and irrigation of the root canal space, the canals were obturated with Metapex and 3 mm of post space was prepared inside the canals. Intact glass fiber posts, split-ended glass fiber posts, composite resin posts, and orthodontic γ 'gamma' wire posts were used as intracanal posts and the final composite resin restoration was placed using a paediatric strip crown. After thermocycling of the specimens, the fracture resistance was measured using a universal testing machine.
Results:
The mean fracture resistance of split- ended glass fiber posts was higher than the other groups, however, there was no significant difference between any of the groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion:
Split-ended glass fiber posts seem to be a more appropriate option for full coverage restorations in primary incisors.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
