Abstract:
Management of an endodontically treated tooth is a challenging task. Post and core procedure helps to enhance the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. Hence the present study was done to evaluate the fracture resistance of custom made GC Everstick post to prefabricated Tenax fiber post and Angelus Reforpostluted with two different resin cements on endodontically treated teeth. Sixty extracted human mono-radicular teeth were included. They were endodontically treated and standardized to 15mm from the root apex and then decoronated. The specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups and each group was further alienated into 2 subgroups. The teeth were randomly selected and treated with an Everstick post, Angelus reforpost, Tenax trans fiber post and were cemented using Maxcem elite and GC Fujicem cement. The core was standardized to 4mm. All the Samples were thermocycled and embedded in the acrylic resin blocks then subjected to compressive load of 1mm/min at 1350 angulation to evaluate the fracture resistance. Thus, we show that the GC Everstick Post showed better fracture resistance when compared to other post irrespective of the resin cement used.Maxcem elite resin cement provided better fracture resistance.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Fractures: 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...
