Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kiriko Sugano"
- Kiriko Sugano's research primarily focuses on evaluating the mechanical properties and fracture resistance of dental materials, particularly in the context of compromised tooth structures such as those with flared root canals.
- One significant study analyzed the efficacy of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) posts compared to conventional materials like glass fiber posts, assessing their performance in various restoration patterns using bovine tooth models.
- Findings from the research indicated that using PEEK as a post material could provide adequate support, potentially leading to improved fracture resistance in teeth with flared root canals, which may inform clinical practices in restorative dentistry.
