Stress Distribution on Maxillary Canines Following Restoration With Different Dimensions of Metal and Fiber Posts: A Finite Element Study.

Introduction In recent times, finite element analysis (FEA) in the field of dentistry has been employed to assess the mechanical properties of biological materials and tissues, which are difficult to quantify directly within a living organism. Only a limited number of studies have examined the impact of post diameter and length on how stress is dispersed in a maxillary canine tooth. Hence, this in vitro investigation was conducted to analyze the distribution of stress in a maxillary canine tooth that was replaced using metal and fiber posts with different diameters (1.5 mm and 1.8 mm) and lengths (11 mm and 15 mm), applying FEA. Materials and methods A FEA study was performed and all models were grouped as follows: Models 1 and 5 were made of titanium (Ti) and glass fiber posts, respectively, with a diameter of 1.5 mm and a length of 15 mm with composite core and all-ceramic crown; Models 2 and 6 were made of Ti and glass fiber posts, respectively, with a diameter of 1.5 mm and a length of 11 mm with composite core and all-ceramic crown; Models 3 and 7 were made of Ti and glass fiber posts, respectively, with a diameter of 1.8 mm and a length of 15 mm with composite core and all-ceramic crown; and Models 4 and 8 were made of Ti and glass fiber posts, respectively, with a diameter of 1.8 mm and a length of 11 mm with composite core and all-ceramic crown. A force of 200 N was exerted on the ceramic crown at an angulation of 45° to the longitudinal axis of the tooth on the palatal surface above the cingulum. The failure was determined by the correlation between a larger von Mises stress estimate and an increased likelihood of failure. The resulting stresses were then contrasted with the highest possible tensile strength of the material. Results The study demonstrated that fiber posts with a diameter of 1.8 mm and an average length of 11 mm exhibited reduced stress levels in comparison to Ti posts. The largest stresses were seen at the cervical region of the tooth, regardless of the materials employed. There was no discernible alteration in stress when the length and diameter of the post were modified. The highest stress in the composite core was measured in Ti posts measuring 1.5 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length. The highest level of stress on dentin was noted in cases where a fiber post was used, as opposed to cases where a Ti post was used. The measured stress within the fiber post was insignificant. However, the pressures imparted to the dentin were greater and more uniformly distributed in comparison to the Ti post cases. Conclusion It is suggested that a composite resin core be used along with a fiber post that is larger in diameter and smaller in length, within clinical bounds, in order to lessen stress in the radicular tooth, despite the substantial coronal defect. Further clinical trials are required to assess the survival rate of these specific measurements, dimensions, and biomaterials.

An In Vitro Study Comparing the Diametral Tensile Strength of Composite Core Build-Up Material With Three Different Prefabricated Post Systems.

Statement of problem Dental restorations are subjected to tensile stresses from oblique or transverse loading of their complex geometric forms, making tensile strength a fundamental mechanical property. Since composite core build-up materials are brittle, the integrity of the post and core depends on their tensile strength and resistance to fracture when utilized with various prefabricated post systems. Therefore, it is essential to determine the tensile strength of the prefabricated metallic and nonmetallic posts used to reinforce the composite resin core. Purpose This study compared the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of three prefabricated post systems with composite core build-up material. Material and methodology Ten composite resin cores from four different groups were formed. The control group was the composite resin core without a post (group 1). Group 2 was composed of composites with metal posts, group 3 was composed of composites with glass fiber posts, and group 4 was composed of composites with carbon fiber posts. All the samples were kept in a humid place for seven days to mimic the conditions in the mouth. DTS was determined by recording the tensile force required to fracture the core material by performing a diametral compression test for tension after a week. The observations were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by a post-hoc test. Results The tensile strength of the resin core material was decreased by 28.1%, 20.8%, and 10.4% by using posts made of stainless steel, carbon fiber, and glass fiber, respectively. Among the three post systems, stainless steel had the lowest mean DTS values, while glass fiber had the highest mean DTS values. Conclusion Composite core glass fiber post systems showed higher tensile strength than other post systems.

Evaluation of Micro-Tensile Bond Strength of Fibre Post with Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles as Fillers in Experimental Dental Composite Resin.

BACKGROUND: The clinical success of post-core restorations is determined by the composite utilized and the strength of the post-core adhesion. The effectiveness of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) as a multifunctional material with photo-induced activities and better mechanical characteristics are observed as particle size is reduced to under 50 nm. AIM: The purpose of this study is to determine the bond strength of fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) posts with TiO2 NP as fillers and to compare it with conventional composite resin core material. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 30 single-rooted mandibular premolars were selected and routine root canal procedures were done. A quantity of 5% TiO2 NPs were synthesized and added as silanized filler to the experimental composite resin. Post space was prepared and fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) post luting was performed. The specimens were then grouped into the following groups: Group I consisted of the experimental composite resin containing 5% TiO2 fillers, Group II consisted of core X flow, and Group III consisted of Multicore Flow. All test groups were submitted for thermocycling. After this, the samples were tested for micro tensile bond strength. A stereomicroscope with a magnification of 20× was used to examine the fractured surfaces. The data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. RESULTS: Statistical analysis revealed that Group I showed the highest mean bond strength value of 35.6180 Mpa. The results obtained with Group III showed the lowest mean bond strength value of 19.4690 Mpa. Adhesive failures were identified by stereomicroscopy of the fractured surfaces. CONCLUSION: The experimental composite resin comprising 5% TiO2 NP had a greater bond to the FRC post than other materials tested.

Hardness Development in Resin Composite Core Materials.

PURPOSE: To investigate the hardness characteristics of 13 contemporary resin core materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Specimens (n = 12) were fabricated using stainless steel molds with top surfaces of dual-cure products photopolymerized while additional groups were allowed to self-cure. Twelve Knoop hardness indentations 500 microns apart were obtained of photopolymerized top and bottom sample surfaces as well as the self-cured sample surface with the mean recorded as the representative sample hardness. Testing was completed at 10 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours. In addition, hardness values were compared to that obtained from polished coronal dentin samples. Mean data between groups were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn's, within groups with repeated measures ANOVA/Tukey's. RESULTS: Hardness results were material dependent. All but two products demonstrated a 0.8 bottom/top Knoop hardness ratio at 10 minutes. Product's self-cure cure reaction did not attain hardness similarity with any photopolymerized top surfaces and while some materials were found to have similar dentin hardness to resin top surface ratio similarity, only one product had hardness equal to or greater than that of dentin during any time period. CONCLUSIONS: Under this study's conditions, hardness development was material dependent and all but two products demonstrated adequate hardness-derived degree of cure assessment at 10 minutes after preparation. Self-cured samples demonstrated hardness increase; however, no self-cured material achieved hardness similarity to photopolymerized top surfaces. None of the materials achieved hardness similarity to dentin and only one product demonstrated hardness greater than that of dentin.

Effect of the Degree of Conversion on Mechanical Properties and Monomer Elution from Self-, Dual- and Light-Cured Core Composites.

The objective of this work was to measure and correlate the degree of conversion (DC), mechanical properties and monomer elution from self-, dual- and light-cured core composites. Five samples of each of the following materials were prepared for each test: Clearfil (Core, Photo Core, Automix), Bisco (Core-Flo, Light-Core and Bis-Core). DC was determined using FTIR, compressive and flexural strength and modulus of elasticity using a universal testing machine and microhardness using Vickers hardness. Elution was measured using HPLC. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-test and Pearson's correlation were used to statistically analyze the data. DC of Clearfil-Dual (70.1%) and Clerafil-Photo (66.8%) were higher than Clearfil-Self (55.4%) and all Bisco materials (51.4-55.3%). Flexural strength of Clearfilwas higher than that of Bisco composites. The Microhardness of Clearfil-Dual (119.8VHN) and Clearfil-Photo (118.0VHN) were higher compared to other materials. The greatest elution was detected from self-cured materials. DC positively correlated to microhardness and compressive/flexural strength and negatively to BisGMA elution. Clearfil-Photo and Automix showed higher conversion, lower monomer elution and, generally, better mechanical properties. Self-cured composites should not be recommended for routine clinical use as their performance was inferior to dual- and light-cured composites. Microhardness may be used as an indicator of elution.

Effect of Composite Core Materials on Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of In Vitro Studies.

Various material properties are involved in the success of endodontically treated restorations. At present, restorative composites are commonly employed as core build-up materials. This study aimed to systematically review the literature to assess the effect of using composite core materials on the in vitro fracture of endodontically treated teeth. Two different reviewers screened the literature, up to June 2021, in five distinct electronic databases: PubMed (MedLine), Scopus, Scielo, ISI Web of Science, and EMBASE. Only in vitro studies reporting the effect of the use of composite core materials on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth were included. A meta-analysis was carried out using a software program (Review Manager v5.4.1; The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark). The risk of bias in each study was assessed following the parameters of another systematic review. A total of 5016 relevant papers were retrieved from all databases. After assessing the title and abstract, five publications remained for qualitative analysis. From these, only three studies remained for meta-analysis. The fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth where a core build-up composite was used was statistically significantly higher than the control (p = 0.04). Most of the analyses showed a high heterogenicity. The in vitro evidence suggests that the composite core build-up with higher filler content tended to improve the fracture resistance of the endodontically treated teeth, in comparison with conventional composite resins. This research received no external funding. Considering that this systematic review was only carried out on in vitro papers, registration was not performed. Furthermore, there were no identified clinical studies assessing core build-up materials; therefore, more well-designed research on these materials is needed.

Lead-Free BNT-BT0.08/CoFe2O4 Core-Shell Nanostructures with Potential Multifunctional Applications.

Herein we report on novel multiferroic core-shell nanostructures of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4)-bismuth, sodium titanate doped with barium titanate (BNT-BT0.08), prepared by a two-step wet chemical procedure, using the sol-gel technique. The fraction of CoFe2O4 was varied from 1:0.5 to 1:1.5 = BNT-BT0.08/CoFe2O4 (molar ratio). X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of both the spinel CoFe2O4 and the perovskite Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 phases. Scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated that the diameter of the core-shell nanoparticles was between 15 and 40 nm. Transmission electron microscopy data showed two-phase composite nanostructures consisting of a BNT-BT0.08 core surrounded by a CoFe2O4 shell with an average thickness of 4-7 nm. Cole-Cole plots reveal the presence of grains and grain boundary effects in the BNT-BT0.08/CoFe2O4 composite. Moreover, the values of the dc conductivity were found to increase with the amount of CoFe2O4 semiconductive phase. Both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Mössbauer measurements have shown no change in the valence of the Fe3+, Co2+, Bi3+ and Ti4+ cations. This study provides a detailed insight into the magnetoelectric coupling of the multiferroic BNT-BT0.08/CoFe2O4 core-shell composite potentially suitable for magnetoelectric applications.

Comparative evaluation of the shear bond strength of adhesive and self-adhesive resin luting agents to three commercially available composite core build-up materials: An in vitro study.

AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of adhesive and self-adhesive resin luting agents (RLAs) to three commercially available composite core build-up materials (CBMs). SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Comparative -invitro study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty samples, 20 each of self-cure (Incore, Medicept: Group I), light cure (Light-Core, Bisco: Group II), and dual cure (LuxaCore Z-Dual, DMG America: Group III) composite CBMs were made in the lower mold space of a customized stainless steel jig. They were further subdivided into subgroups A and B for bonding with the adhesive (RelyX Ultimate, 3M ESPE) and self-adhesive (RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE) RLAs respectively. For specimens in subgroup A, the bonding agent (Scotchbond Universal Adhesive, 3M ESPE) was rubbed onto the surface for 20 s prior to bonding with the adhesive RLA. For specimens in subgroup B, no pretreatment of the surface was carried out. The CBM-luting agent sample was tested for the shear bond strength in a universal testing machine. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: ANOVA, Tukey's multiple comparison, and independent t-test. RESULTS: Adhesive RLA showed the highest shear bond strength to light cured composite CBM. Self-adhesive RLA showed the highest shear bond strength to dual-cured composite CBM. Adhesive RLA showed higher shear bond strength to all three composite CBMs as compared to the self-adhesive luting agent. This difference was statistically significant for the self-cure and light cure composite CBMs. CONCLUSION: Adhesive RLA showed greater shear bond strengths to all the three groups of composite CBMs as compared to self-adhesive RLA.

Effect of different composite core materials on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with FRC posts

Abstract Objective This study evaluated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber reinforced composite posts, using three resin composite core build-up materials, (Clearfil Photo Core (CPC), MultiCore Flow (MCF), and LuxaCore Z-Dual (LCZ)), and a nanohybrid composite, (Tetric N-Ceram (TNC)). Material and Methods Forty endodontically treated lower first premolars were restored with quartz fiber posts (D.T. Light-Post) cemented with resin cement (Panavia F2.0). Samples were randomly divided into four groups (n=10). Each group was built-up with one of the four core materials following its manufacturers’ instructions. The teeth were embedded in acrylic resin blocks. Nickel-Chromium crowns were fixed on the specimens with resin cement. The fracture resistance was determined using a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min at 1350 to the tooth axis until failure occurred. All core materials used in the study were subjected to test for the flexural modulus according to ISO 4049:2009. Results One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni multiple comparisons test indicated that the fracture resistance was higher in the groups with CPC and MCF, which presented no statistically significant difference (p>0.05), but was significantly higher than in those with LCZ and TNC (p<0.05). In terms of the flexural modulus, the ranking from the highest values of the materials was aligned with the same tendency of fracture loads. Conclusion Among the cores used in this study, the composite core with high filler content tended to enhance fracture thresholds of teeth restored with fiber posts more than others.

Fracture resistance of endodontically treated canines restored with different sizes of fiber post and all-ceramic crowns.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the fracture resistance and the mode of fracture of endodontically treated teeth restored with different fiber posts and all-ceramic crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two glass fiber reinforced post systems in two different sizes and polyethylene fiber ribbon in two different thicknesses (n=10) were used. The specimens, restored with all-ceramic crowns, were subjected to a compressive load (in N) delivered at a 130-degree angle to the long axis until a fracture could be noted. The results were analyzed statistically with a One-Way ANOVA test (P<.05). RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were observed between the mean fracture resistance values of Postec, Snowlight, and Kerr Connect thin specimens (P<.0095). The Postec results (395.70 N) were found to be significantly higher than the others. No statistical difference was observed among the thick specimens (P<.2657). The mean fracture resistance values of the Snowlight thick samples were found to be higher than those of the Snowlight thin samples. The specimens were always fractured around the cemento-enamel junction at the palatinal side. No post fracture was observed for the thin Snowlight and Kerr Connect specimens or for the thick Postec and Kerr Connect specimens. Among the common failure types of the specimens, the worst was observed to be the root fracture failure. The highest post dislodgement failure result (80%) was obtained from the thin Kerr Connect specimen. CONCLUSION: In terms of optimizing fracture resistance, the fiber post size selection should be done according to the forces applied to the restored teeth.

A resin composite material containing an eugenol derivative for intracanal post cementation and core build-up restoration.

OBJECTIVES: To formulate and evaluate new dual cured resin composite based on the inclusion of eugenyl methacrylate monomer (EgMA) with Bis-GMA/TEGDMA resin systems for intracanal post cementation and core build-up restoration of endodontically treated teeth. METHODS: EgMA was synthesized and incorporated at 5% (BTEg5) or 10% (BTEg10) into dual-cure formulations. Curing properties, viscosity, Tg, radiopacity, static and dynamic mechanical properties of the composites were determined and compared with Clearfil™DC Core-Plus, a commercial dual-cure, two-component composite. Statistical analysis of the data was performed with ANOVA and the Tukey's post-hoc test. RESULTS: The experimental composites were successfully prepared, which exhibited excellent curing depths of 4.9, 4.7 and 4.2 mm for BTEg0, BTEg5 and BTEg10 respectively, which were significantly higher than Clearfil™DC. However, the inclusion of EgMA initially led to a lower degree of cure, which increased when measured at 24 h with values comparable to formulations without EgMA, indicating post-curing. The inclusion of EgMA also lowered the polymerization exotherm thereby reducing the potential of thermal damage to host tissue. Both thermal and viscoelastic analyses confirmed the ability of the monomer to reduce the stiffness of the composites by forming a branched network. The compressive strength of BTEg5 was significantly higher than the control whilst flexural strength increased significantly from 95.9 to 114.8 MPa (BTEg5) and 121.9 MPa (BTEg10). Radiopacity of the composites was equivalent to ∼3 mm Al allowing efficient diagnosis. SIGNIFICANCE: The incorporation of EgMA within polymerizable formulations provides a novel approach to prepare reinforced resin composite material for intracanal post cementation and core build-up and the potential to impart antibacterial properties of eugenol to endodontic restorations.

Effect of Silane Type and Air-Drying Temperature on Bonding Fiber Post to Composite Core and Resin Cement

This study evaluated the influence of silane type and temperature of silane application on push-out bond strength between fiberglass posts with composite resin core and resin cement. One hundred and sixty fiberglass posts (Exacto, Angelus) had the surface treated with hydrogen peroxide 24%. Posts were divided in 8 groups according to two study factors: air-drying temperature after silane application (room temperature and 60 ºC) and silane type: three pre-hydrolyzed - Silano (Angelus), Prosil (FGM), RelyX Ceramic Primer (3M ESPE) and one two-component silane - Silane Coupling Agent (Dentsply). The posts (n=10) for testing the bond strength between post and composite core were centered on a cylindrical plastic matrix and composite resin (Filtek Z250 XT, 3M ESPE) that was incrementally inserted and photoactivated. Eighty bovine incisor roots (n=10) were prepared for testing the bond strength between post and resin cement (RelyX U100, 3M ESPE) and received the fiberglass posts. Push-out test was used to measure the bond strength. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (a=0.05). ANOVA revealed that temperature and silane had no influence on bond strength between composite core and post. However, for bond strength between post and resin cement, the temperature increase resulted in a better performance for Silane Coupling Agent, Silano and RelyX Ceramic Primer. At room temperature Silane Coupling Agent showed the lowest bond strength. Effect of the warm air-drying is dependent on the silane composition. In conclusion, the use of silane is influenced by wettability of resinous materials and pre-hydrolyzed silanes are more stable compared with the two-bottle silane.

Este estudo avaliou a influência do tipo de silano e a aplicação de temperatura no silano na resistência de união por push-out entre pinos de fibra de vidro com núcleo de preenchimento em resina composta e cimento resinoso. Cento e sessenta pinos de fibra de vidro (Exacto, Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brasil) receberam tratamento de superfície com peróxido de hidrogênio a 24%. Os pinos foram divididos em 8 grupos com dois fatores em estudo: temperatura de secagem de ar após a aplicação do silano (temperatura ambiente e 60 ºC) e o tipo de silano: três pré-hidrolisados - Silano (Angelus), Prosil (FGM), RelyX Ceramic Primer (3M ESPE) e um silano de dois frascos - Silane Coupling Agent (Dentsply). Para o teste de resistência de união entre pino e núcleo de preenchimento, os pinos (n=10) foram centralizados em uma matriz plástica cilíndrica e a resina composta (Filtek Z250 XT, 3M ESPE) foi incrementalmente inserida e fotopolimerizada. Para o teste de resistência de união entre pino e cimento resinoso (RelyX U100, 3M ESPE) 80 raízes de incisivos bovinos (n=10) foram preparadas e receberam os pinos de fibra de vidro. Teste de push-out foi usado para mensurar a resistência de união. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA fatorial seguido do teste de Tukey (a=0,05). Temperatura e silano não tiveram influência na resistência de união entre núcleo de preenchimento e pino. Entretanto, para a resistência de união entre pino e cimento resinoso, o aumento da temperatura resultou em um melhor desempenho para Silane Coupling Agent, Silano e RelyX Ceramic Primer. Além disso, na temperatura ambiente Silane Coupling Agent teve a menor resistência de união. O efeito da secagem de ar quente é dependente da composição do silano. Concluindo, o uso do silano é influenciado pela molhabilidade dos materiais resinosos e os silanos pré-hidrolisados são mais estáveis comparados ao silano de dois frascos.

An In vitro Evaluation of the Effect of Four Dentin Bonding System on the Bond Strength between Quartz Fiber Post and Composite Core.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: A strong bond of fiber post to resin core, as well as to dentin would critically ensure the durability of restorations in endodontically treated teeth. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of etch-and-rinse dentin bonding systems on the bond strength between resin core and fiber post after application of 24% hydrogen peroxide.  MATERIALS AND METHOD: 24 fiber posts (RTD; St. Egèven, France) were treated with 24% hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes. They were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6) based on the bonding agent used: Group P: Prime&Bond, Group O: One Step, Group S: Single Bond and Group E: Excite. Each group was prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. For all posts, a flowable composite core (ÆliteFlo; Bisco, USA) was built-up over the bonded area. Each specimen was sectioned to produce 2 sticks, 1mm in thickness and underwent microtensile bond strength (µTBS). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA at the 0.05 level. The fractured surfaces of all sticks were evaluated by stereomicroscope (× 20). Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) assessment of two sticks from each group was performed to evaluate the surface morphology. RESULTS: The means and SDs of µTBS were: Group P: 10.95±1.74; Group S: 10.25±2.39; Group E: 9.52±2.07; and Group O: 9.12±1.34. There was no statistically significant difference in bond strength means between the groups tested (p> 0.05).   CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicated the bonding agents used had no significant influence on the bond strength of fiber post to composite core.

The data was analysed statistically by Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: 1. For PrimeandBond NT(R) and SingleBond(R), the shear bond strength was 0.24 MPa and 7.19 MPa each by each, while Tenure A & B(R) group control was measured at 13.93 MPa (p<0.05). Especially for PrimeandBond NT(R), it did not get conjunction with dentin. 2. For PrimeandBond NT(R) and SingleBond(R) using BondLink(R), there was no significant difference as a result of 11.73 MPa and 14.00 MPa each by each (p<0.05). 3. For Panavia-F(R) and Bistite II(R), they showed the highest shear bond strength as measured by 18.24 MPa and 16.09 MPa each(p<0.05).
