An application of the dowel and composite resin core technique

Effect of Core Diameter and Surface Treatment on the Retention of Resin Composite Cores to Prefabricated Endodontic Posts

“…Photopolymerization was accomplished with an Elipar Highlight (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN) curing light. The light output was verified at greater than 450 mW/cm 2 throughout the study with a curing radiometer (Demetron/Kerr, Danbury, CT). The experimental design is shown in Table 2.…”

“…POST AND CORE systems have been used to restore endodontically treated teeth for more than 250 years 1 . The use of prefabricated posts and resin restorative materials to fabricate post and core systems was introduced in the 1960s 2 …”

“…1 The use of prefabricated posts and resin restorative materials to fabricate post and core systems was introduced in the 1960s. 2 Prefabricated post and core systems are available in a variety of materials. Traditional prefabricated posts are made of metal.…”

Influência do remanescente dentário coronal na avaliação de dentes tratados endodonticamente restaurados com pinos pré-fabricados e resina composta

“…Com o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas e materiais começaram a surgir novas alternativas para o tratamento de dentes tratados endodonticamente como, por exemplo, os pinos intra-radiculares pré-fabricados e materiais de preenchimento tal como as resinas compostas 9,10,41,97,142 .…”

“…Nos casos de coroas parcialmente destruí-das deve-se manter o máximo possível de estrutura coronária remanescente com o objetivo de alcançar maior magnitude de retenção e de absorção de cargas mastigatórias. Outros autores sugerem que esta fragilidade esteja relacionada à perda de umidade da dentina após o tratamento endodônti-co 5,14,37,41,50,70,120,152 .…”
