Post-and-core restorations demonstrate adequate mechanical strength for long-term clinical success. This study confirms their longevity under typical chewing forces, indicating a low risk of failure.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Dental Mechanics
  • Clinical Dentistry

Background:

  • Post-and-core restorations are crucial for restoring function in endodontically treated teeth.
  • Estimating the longevity of these restorations under functional loads is essential for predictable clinical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate in vitro post-and-core strength data with masticatory loading to predict restoration longevity.
  • To estimate the survival probability of post-and-core restorations under clinically relevant conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A biomechanical model was developed to predict in vivo longevity.
  • The model incorporated laboratory and theoretical strength values for amalgam and composite cores.
  • Simulations considered high and low masticatory loading scenarios and varying manufacturing quality.

Main Results:

  • The probability of mechanical failure was negligible for most simulated conditions.
  • Under high loading with clinical-quality cores, failure probabilities were 2x10^-5 (amalgam) and 5x10^-5 (composite) before 5 million cycles.
  • These findings align with observed clinical failure rates of approximately 1% annually.

Conclusions:

  • The intrinsic mechanical properties of post-and-core restorations are sufficient for clinical loading.
  • The study supports the reliability of post-and-core restorations in functional occlusion.
