Introduction:Early childhood Caries is a distressing situation for patients and parents and pediatric dentists. Aim: current research was carried out to evaluate fracture resistance and bond strength for different types of dentin posts compared to fiber posts. Materials and Methods: This Current in-vitro study was conducted on 48 extracted primary incisors. Samples were split randomly into 4 groups of 12 for each group. Group-I (fiber posts 6mm length, 1.4mm diameter), Group-II (dentin posts 6mm length, 1.4 diameter), Group-III (dentin posts 8mm length, 1.4mm diameter), Group-IV (dentin posts 8mm length, 1.6mm diameter). Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups (6 for the Push-Out bond strength test and 6 for the fracture resistance test using Universal Testing Machine). Results: It was observed in the fracture resistance test that, Group III showed the highest fracture resistance means (140.678±11.98) followed by Group IV (131.38±7.03), Group-II (94.23±9.84), and finally Group-I that showed the lowest fracture resistance means (80.465±2.82). Push-Out bond strength test revealed that the highest mean value with Group-IV (8.653±1.49), followed by Group-II (6.08±2.25) and Group III (5.67±2.44) have no statistically significant difference between them, while the lowest mean value was for Group-I. Conclusions: Dentin posts showed increased fracture resistance and bond strength more than fiber posts. The use of dentin post as intra-canal retention in primary anterior teeth possesses the most important advantages over the fiber post. Therefore, biological dentin post is a successful alternative for fiber post.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
