Area of Science:

  • Dental materials science
  • Endodontics
  • Restorative dentistry

Background:

  • Post-and-core restorations are common in endodontically treated teeth.
  • Fiberglass posts are widely used due to their favorable mechanical properties.
  • Post removal can lead to dentine damage, including wear and microcracks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate dentine wear and microcrack formation after removing intraradicular fiberglass posts.
  • To compare the effects of two resin cements (RelyX ARC and RelyX U200) on post removal-induced damage.

Main Methods:

  • Distal roots of 38 lower molars were prepared and restored with fiberglass posts using either RelyX ARC or RelyX U200.
  • Posts were removed using ultrasonic abrasion with diamond tips.
  • Dentine wear volume and microcrack occurrence were assessed using microcomputed tomography.

Main Results:

  • Significant dentine wear occurred after post removal, irrespective of the cement type.
  • No statistically significant differences in root canal volume or microcrack occurrence were observed between the two cement groups.
  • The removal procedure itself was the primary cause of dentine wear.

Conclusions:

  • Fiberglass post removal can cause extensive dentine wear.
  • The type of resin cement used does not influence the degree of dentine wear or microcrack formation during post removal.
  • Clinicians should be aware of the potential for significant dentine wear during post removal procedures.
