Purpose: This article presents a review of the literature on factors that affect the resistance to
fracture of post-core reconstructed teeth. Materials and Methods: Articles cited in a MEDLINE …

Part I of this three‐part literature review discusses the incidence of endodontic treatment
required after prosthodontic procedures, whether crowns are needed on endodontically …

Objectives: To determine the stiffness, elastic limit, and strength of a selection of endodontic
posts recently introduced onto the market. Methods: Endodontic posts of zirconia (Biopost …

In this work the mechanical response to external applied loads of a new glass fibre
reinforced endodontic post is simulated by finite element (FE) analysis of a bidimensional …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Endodontically-treated, dowel-restored teeth may experience
fracture, but investigations of variables related to fracture are often inconclusive and …

The dental records of 638 patients treated with 788 posts and cores were studied to analyze
failure rate and failure characteristics for two post designs. Frequency of the technical …

Stress distribution studies can be helpful in determining the appropriate diameter and length
of endodontic posts for specific teeth in select occlusal relationships. This study selected the …

The aim of this study was to compare a fiber composite laminate (FCL) post core and a
conventional cast post core system by using two different methods. The first method was a …

This study used a two-dimensional finite element mesh of a lower first premolar to model two
different tooth loading systems which measured either the vertical or the horizontal …

The prevalence of prosthodontic treatment has been well recognized, and the need is
continuously increasing with the ageing population. While the oral mucosa plays a critical …
