Objectives: This study evaluated, in vitro, the fracture resistance of bovine roots restored with five different intraradicular post systems.
Method And Materials: Seventy-five bovine roots of similar dimensions were assigned to five groups (n = 15), according to the intraradicular post system used: cast post and core; titanium post; carbon-fiber post; glass-fiber post; and zirconium-oxide post. Following post cementation, the roots were embedded in polystyrene resin composite and submitted to fracture-resistance testing, with a compressive load at an angle of 135 degrees in relation to the long axis of the root at a speed of 0.5 mm/min. All data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance and Sidak test.
Results: The titanium posts presented higher mean values of fracture resistance when compared to glass-fiber posts and zirconium-oxide posts and similar values compared to carbon-fiber posts. Also, roots treated with cast posts and cores presented similar results when compared to roots treated with prefabricated posts.
Conclusion: All prefabricated intraradicular post systems evaluated presented similar resistance to fracture when compared to cast posts and cores, and among the prefabricated ones, titanium and carbon-fiber posts could be best indicated.

Background: The literature has reported contradictory findings regarding the association of Intra-radicular posts (IRPs) presence and periapical radiolucent lesions (PRLs) prevalence in endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Considering this, the study aimed to investigate the association between IRPs presence and PRLs prevalence.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare PRLs prevalence in ETT with and without IRPs.

Unlabelled: The amount of residual dentin thickness and tooth position in the dental arch is crucial to determine whether an intraradicular post should be used. This study aimed to compare stress distribution on the root dentin of an endodontically treated tooth rehabilitated with CAD/CAM milled glass fiber posts (MP), cast metal posts (CMP), or prefabricated posts (PP) with or without ferrule support, using the finite element method.
Materials And Methods: A human upper central incisor was selected, scanned, and treated endodontically.

Background: The optimal restoration protocol for endodontically treated teeth (ETT) remains a subject of debate. This survey aims to assess the current level of awareness, knowledge, and prevailing opinions among dental practitioners in China regarding the application of endocrown versus the post/core/crown ensemble for post-endodontic restoration strategies.
Methods: A validated questionnaire, encompassing three sections, was distributed electronically to dentists practicing in China.

Objective: To evaluate the plant-derived compound lignin (LIG) as a pretreatment of intraradicular dentin in combination with EDTA on push-out bond strength (PBS) and nanoleakage of the glass fiber posts (GFPs) cemented using adhesive resin cement.
Material And Methods: Twenty-eight human incisor roots were prepared for GFP cementation and divided based on dentin pretreatment: (1) CONTROL: no pretreatment, (2) EDTA: 17% EDTA for 3 min, (3) EDTA-LIG: 17% EDTA and 2% lignin for 3 min, (4) EDTA-PAC: 17% EDTA and 2% lignin for 3 min. The GFPs were cemented using the self-adhesive resin cement Multilink Speed.
