“…The mean fracture resistance in the dentin posts group was 246.3 N, which is consistent with many studies such as the study of El-Shaabany and El-Baz conducted on the maxillary and mandibular primary anterior teeth [21]. The results of this study are also in agreement with the results of several studies conducted on permanent teeth such as studies done by Ambica et al and Kathuria et al [14,23].…”

“…This study was done on the maxillary primary incisors, as it is the most affected tooth in early childhood caries, which is in agreement with study done by Gujjar and Indushekar [ 20 ]. While other studies included maxillary and mandibular primary canines [ 13 , 21 ].…”

“…Metapex was used as a root canal filling which allowed the direct application of posts without the need to apply a spacer such as glass ionomer cement between the canal filler and the posts' adhesive material, this is what is used when filling with zinc oxide and eugenol [ 21 , 22 ].…”

“…The results of this study showed that teeth restored with dentin posts had higher fracture resistance compared to teeth restored with fiberglass posts. This can be attributed to the physical and mechanical properties, in addition to the contribution of these posts to shock absorption and dispersal of their forces, which can be explained by dentin structure [ 21 ].…”

Background/purposeAn ideal post material should have physical and mechanical properties similar to dentin. Another problem when restoring primary teeth that have undergone root canal treatment is the availability of materials that are resorbed in the exfoliation process in a manner similar to the structure of the natural tooth, allowing the normal eruption of a permanent tooth. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using dentine posts on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated primary incisors in comparison to glass fiber posts. Materials and methodsThe study sample consisted of 30 extracted primary maxillary incisors that were randomly distributed into the following two groups: group I (experimental, n=15), which was restored with dentine posts; and group II (control, n=15), which was restored with glass fiber posts. Initially, 10 extracted single-root permanent teeth were collected to prepare 20 dentine posts using a computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) machine. Then, the crowns of maxillary primary incisors were cut and the canals were prepared and filled. Then the preparation for a post was made using Gates Glidden drills, and the posts were placed with an extension of 3 mm within the canal in both groups, then the crown was built and the teeth were placed within acrylic cubes and subjected to 500 thermocycling. Fracture resistance was recorded using a Testometric machine (Rochdale, England: Testometric Co. Ltd.). Data were analyzed using an independent Student's t-test. ResultsThe dentine posts group showed greater fracture resistance (246.3 N) than the glass fiber posts group (206.3 N). A statistically significant difference (p=0.004) was found between the two groups in favor of the dentine posts group. ConclusionBased on this in vitro study, the dentin posts used in restoring severely decayed primary maxillary incisors showed greater fracture resistance than glass fiber posts. Therefore, the use of dentin posts as intra-canal stabilizers in maxillary primary incisors is a good alternative for glass fiber posts.

“…Sample size was calculated based on the mean FR of post and core retrieved from a previous study. 14 The G* Power program version 3.1.9.7 was used to calculate sample size based on an effect size of 0.82, using a 2tailed test with α error =0.05 and power = 90.0%, the sample size was at least 10 samples in each group.…”

Aim: This in-vitro study was conducted to assess the fracture resistance (FR) of different post and core systems for restoring pulpectomized primary incisors. Materials and methods: Forty extracted primary incisors were collected, prepared, and then obturated using Metapex. Teeth were allocated into four groups. Group (A): teeth restored with human dentin posts; Group (B): bovine dentin posts; Group (C): glass fiber posts; and Group (D): orthodontic stainless-steel wire in omega-form posts. Dentin blocks were obtained from the roots of extracted human maxillary premolars and bovine permanent incisors to fabricate the dentin posts. These blocks were formed into post shapes using a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. The posts underwent cementation using glass ionomer cement, followed by coronal buildup with composite. After thermocycling, the FR and mode of failure were examined. The FR was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, while the mode of failure was analyzed using the Monte Carlo test. P-values ≤ 0.05 were used to determine statistical significance. Results: The median maximum compressive load in group (A) was 386.87 N, in group (B) it was 379.27 N, in group (C) it was 522.16 N, and in group (D) it was 469.14 N. The differences between the groups were not statistically significant regarding the maximum compressive load and the failure mode. Conclusion: Glass fiber posts and omega posts had higher FR compared to dentin posts, although the four groups can be used effectively for restoring pulpectomized primary incisors.

In this in vitro study, fracture resistance was evaluated according to the post-diameter and -length in zirconia crown restorations on three-dimensional printed primary incisors undergone pulpectomy. One hundred-and-sixty primary incisor abutments were used which were artificially fabricated through 3D-printing. Each group was divided into two subgroups based on the zirconia post-diameter (1.5 mm and 2.0 mm) employed for post setting after pulpectomy. Furthermore, each group was divided into four subgroups based on the zirconia post-height (3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm). Zirconia post setting was made by applying flowable resin after filling the pulp cavity with calcium hydroxide up to 3.0 mm below cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). Finally, a preformed zirconia crown of size #1 was cemented to the abutment through resin cement. A compressive load was applied to the middle palatal surface of incisors restored with zirconia crowns by using a universal testing machine at 145◦ angle which is the normal interincisal angle of children. The root fracture specimens were excluded and the samples fractured within crown and core parts were included in the final fracture resistance analysis. The group with 1.5-mm post-diameter and 5.0-mm post-height had the highest fracture resistance strength (130.63 ± 55.75 N) under masticatory pressure condition. Fracture resistance was statistically greater in 5.0-mm than in 4.0-mm and 3.0-mm post-height groups for 1.5-mm post-diameter subgroup. Moreover, 5.0-mm post-height subgroup had a statistically greater fracture resistance than that of 3.0-mm post-height subgroup for 2.0-mm post-diameter group. The 2.0-mm post-diameter subgroup had a statistically greater fracture resistance than that of 1.5-mm post-diameter subgroup for 3.0-mm and 4.0-mm post-heights. If zirconia post incorporation is required for deciduous incisor restoration, a post-length equal to facial CEJ level is recommended for gaining additional retention against masticatory pressure.
