Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Mandibular Permanent First Molars Reinforced with Diagonal Horizontal Postdesign: A Study.

Aim: This study aims to compare fracture resistance of mandibular first molars reinforced with diagonally placed horizontal posts after endodontic therapy.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two mandibular first molar teeth were selected, standardized, divided into four groups (GP) - GP I (endodontically treated-no post)), GP II (horizontal post-buccolingual), GP III (horizontal postdiagonal), and GP IV (natural teeth). The individual teeth were mounted on bases, coded, and suitably prepared for the facture testing procedure.

An Comparative Evaluation of Distribution of Three Different Sealers by Single-Cone Obturation Technique.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of sealer at different levels of the root canal using three different sealers in a single-cone obturation technique.

Materials And Methods: Thirty freshly extracted mandibular premolar teeth were selected and access opening was performed. Working length was determined.
