Summary
Mineral fiber posts and epoxy resins create a strong "monobloc" for restoring endodontically treated teeth. This study analyzes the surface characteristics of these posts, focusing on their integration with cement and dental materials for improved tooth reconstruction.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Biomaterials Science
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Endodontically treated teeth often suffer structural weakening due to significant dental substance loss.
- Coronal reconstruction necessitates the use of endocanal posts to reinforce these weakened teeth.
- Modern materials like mineral fiber posts and epoxy resins offer improved integration and biomechanical properties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze and compare the surface characteristics of currently available mineral fiber posts.
- To evaluate the interaction between these posts, resinous cements, and dental materials.
- To assess the potential for creating a homogeneous "post-dentine-cement monobloc" for optimal tooth restoration.
Main Methods:
- Experimental study design.
- Surface characterization of mineral fiber posts.
- Microscopic observation of post-cement-dentin interfaces.
Main Results:
- Mineral fiber posts and epoxy resins demonstrate excellent integration with resinous cements.
- The combination of these materials facilitates the formation of a "post-dentine-cement monobloc".
- Surface analysis revealed favorable interactions crucial for morphofunctional tooth resetting.
Conclusions:
- Mineral fiber posts and epoxy resins represent an advanced approach to restoring endodontically treated teeth.
- The "monobloc" concept achieved with these materials enhances structural integrity and function.
- Further surface characteristic analysis confirms their suitability for durable and aesthetic dental reconstructions.

01:18Porosity in Cement Paste
283
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.

01:22Fiber Reinforced Concrete
173
Fiber-reinforced concrete significantly enhances the structural and nonstructural properties of traditional concrete by incorporating fibers like steel, glass, and polymers. These fibers, varying from natural ones such as sisal and cellulose to manufactured ones like polypropylene and Kevlar, are mixed into hydraulic cement with aggregates. Steel fibers, often preferred for their robustness, contribute to improved ductility, toughness, and post-cracking performance. The concrete is classified...

01:20Strength of Cement
260
Strength tests for cement are not performed directly on neat cement paste due to difficulty in obtaining consistent, reliable specimens. Instead, cement is typically tested in the form of cement-sand mortar.
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...

01:15Fineness of Cement
289
The fineness of cement directly influences the rate of hydration, as the hydration begins at the surface of the cement particles. In addition to hydration, the fineness of cement is vital for various properties of concrete including workability, gypsum requirement, and long-term behavior. The fineness of cement is represented in terms of the specific surface of cement which is typically measured in square meters per kilogram, with several methods available for this determination.

01:17Soundness of Cement
299
The soundness of cement refers to the ability of cement paste to retain its volume after setting. Unsound cement can lead to expansion and structural damage due to the presence of free lime, magnesia, and calcium sulfate. Free lime hydrates very slowly, expanding and causing unsoundness, which is difficult to detect because it intercrystallizes with other compounds. Magnesia also reacts with water, forming crystals that can disrupt the cement's structure. Calcium sulfate can create...

01:23Pore Size Distribution
246
In concrete, the pore size distribution significantly influences the material's properties. Capillary pores, markedly larger than gel pores, form a vast network within partially hydrated cement paste, reducing the concrete's strength and increasing its permeability. This heightened permeability leads to a greater risk of damage from environmental factors like freeze-thaw cycles and chemical attacks, with the extent of vulnerability also being tied to the water-to-cement ratio.
