Abstract:
Retention of a prefabricated post and composite resin core system was compared with that of a cast post and core restoration in anterior maxillary teeth on which root canal preparations, enlarged in the coronal part, were performed. The effect of cyclic loading on restoration retention was also investigated. Retention of restorations not subjected to cyclic loading was not influenced by post type, but loaded prefabricated post restorations showed lower retention than both loaded cast post and core restorations and nonloaded prefabricated post restorations. After dislodgement, the failure mode was also determined. The results of this study suggest that if a canal requires extensive preparation, a well-adapted cast post and core restoration may be more retentive than a prefabricated post restoration that does not match the canal shape.

Stresses under Combined Loadings
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
