Summary
Two methods effectively manage fractured or underextended posts in endodontically treated teeth. These techniques help preserve natural teeth, preventing potential extraction.
Area of Science:
- Endodontic Dentistry
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Fractured or underextended posts are common complications in endodontically treated teeth.
- These issues can compromise the structural integrity and longevity of the tooth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe and evaluate two distinct methods for managing fractured or underextended posts.
- To assess the efficacy of these methods in preserving compromised teeth.
Main Methods:
- Detailed description of two surgical or non-surgical techniques for post retrieval or management.
- Evaluation of treatment outcomes, including tooth survival rates and absence of complications.
Main Results:
- Both described methods demonstrated success in addressing fractured or underextended posts.
- Teeth treated with these methods were preserved, avoiding extraction.
Conclusions:
- The presented methods offer viable solutions for managing challenging post-related complications in endodontics.
- These techniques contribute to the long-term preservation of endodontically treated teeth.

01:19Restorative Care
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
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 procedure...

01:31Bone Remodeling and Repair
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during bone...
01:19Veneer
Veneer refers to a thin sheet of wood, typically produced to a thickness of about one-eighth of an inch or less. This material is crafted through various methods, the most common being rotary cutting. In this process, a log is mounted into a large lathe and spun against a knife edge, peeling off a continuous strip of wood as the knife penetrates deeper into the rotating log, creating a rotary-cut veneer.
Other veneering techniques include plain-slicing, quarter-slicing, and rift-slicing. These...
