An in vitro study evaluating the effect of ferrule length on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber-reinforced and zirconia dowel systems

Management of Complicated Crown-Root Fracture by Fragment Reattachment Using Fibre-Post: An Aesthetic Alternative

“…(12) With the recent improvements in the dental materials, resin-based restorative materials with tooth-colored fiber post are of choice because of several advantages such as a suitable elastic modulus, esthetics, good bonding between post and cement, lower chair time, and minimal tissue removal. (13,14) The use of a fiber post with fractured teeth, as it interlocks the two fragments, minimizes the stress on the reattached tooth fragment. (13,14) Follow-up visits are critically important for all traumatic injuries.…”

“…(13,14) The use of a fiber post with fractured teeth, as it interlocks the two fragments, minimizes the stress on the reattached tooth fragment. (13,14) Follow-up visits are critically important for all traumatic injuries. The patient should be followed for 3, 6, 12 months and yearly for 5 years.…”

Stress distribution of endodontically treated maxillary second premolars restored with different methods: Three-dimensional finite element analysis

“…Many investigators [20][21][22][23][24][25] reported that the design as well as the material of the post and core affect the resistance to fracture of endodontically treated teeth restored with post and core systems, while other studies reported that resistance to fracture of endodontically treated teeth covered by a crown with a 2 mm margin on healthy tooth structure was not affected by the post and core complex 26,27) . For the successful rehabilitation of the endodontically treated tooth, it is imperative to understand the disparity and complexity of the relationship of interfaces with various restorative materials.…”

Rethinking ferrule – a new approach to an old dilemma

“…18,19,30,49 Alternatively, new evidence is continually emerging favouring the reinforcement abilities of fibre reinforced composite posts. A study by Saupe in 1996 50 reported no difference in fracture resistance of teeth with bonded posts with or without a ferrule.…”
