Statement Of Problem: In badly damaged teeth and teeth with short clinical crown heights, the placement of foundation restorations has been advocated to permit the development of retention and resistance form. However, there is little information on the effect of these foundation restorations on the clinical performance of the definitive restoration.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the load fatigue performance of teeth restored with posts and cores, with varying tooth heights, and to compare them with similar groups having no posts and cores.
Statement Of Problem: Resin cements have gained popularity over the past few years because of their improved physical properties. There is a need to test these cements under fatigue loading, as there is growing recognition that fatigue testing is more clinically relevant than traditional monotonic static tests.
Purpose: This study investigated the load-fatigue performance of complete gold crowns cemented with 4 types of resin cement.
