Objective: The aim of this study was to determine bonding properties of two types of fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) posts cemented into root canals of molars. Serrated titanium posts served as reference.
Methods: Prefabricated carbon/graphite FRC posts with cross-linked polymer matrix and individually formed glass FRC posts with interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) polymer matrix were compared. The crowns of extracted third molars were removed and post space (diameter: 1.5mm) was drilled, etched and bonded. The posts were treated with dimethacrylate adhesive resin, light-polymerized and cemented with a dual-polymerizing composite resin luting cement. After thermocycling (6000x) the samples were cut into discs of thicknesses: 1, 2 and 4mm (n=12/group). Push-out force was measured by pushing the post from one end. Assessment of failure mode was made under a stereomicroscope (1, adhesive failure between post and cement; 2, cohesive failure of post-system; 3, adhesive failure between cement and dentin).
Results: The push-out force increased with increased height of dentin disc in all groups (ANOVA, p<0.001). In the 4mm thick dentin discs the individually formed glass FRC posts showed highest push-out force and the difference to that of the titanium posts was significant (ANOVA, p<0.001). The other differences were not statistically significant. None of the individually formed glass FRC posts showed adhesive failures between the post and the cement.
Conclusions: Contrary to the other posts, there were no adhesive (post-cement) failures with the individually formed glass FRC posts, suggesting better interfacial adhesion of cement to these posts.

Background: Patients undergoing colectomy are at risk of numerous major complications. However, existing binary risk stratification models do not predict when a patient may be at highest risks of each complication. Accurate prediction of the timing of complications facilitates targeted, resource-efficient monitoring.

Article Synopsis
- This systematic review investigated how effective fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) are in improving the fracture resistance of reattached tooth fragments.
- The review included seven studies involving 415 samples, revealing that rigid FRC posts boost the fracture resistance of anterior teeth, while flexible fiber bundles help with posterior teeth and flexible polyethylene fibers aid molars with reattached cusps.
- The findings suggest low-quality evidence that using FRC in reattachment may enhance bond strength and fracture resistance, but reattached fragments could still be at risk of re-fracture.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the effect of post space conditioning with different solutions on the bond strength of glass FRC posts and evaluate the mode of resin failure.
Methods: Sixty extracted human single rooted teeth were root filled using a resin sealer and suitable gutta-percha cones. Post spaces were prepared, and the teeth randomly allocated into 5 groups according to their irrigation regimens which included the following solutions: 17 % EDTA, 2 % CHX, 3 % NaOCl, 10 % ascorbic acid and QMix solutions.

The reason to use post is to retain the core that holds the definitive prosthesis. The maxillary central incisor always poses a challenge during reconstruction using the post and core system. Dentapreg PINPost, a pre-cured flexible post made of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), has many advantages over metallic posts and fiber posts.

Objectives: To assess the influence of ferrule and core type on the fracture strength of endodontically treated anterior teeth (ETAT) and identify the failure mode type and distribution across different core types and ferrule conditions.
Methods: Sixty extracted human central incisors were endodontically treated, decoronated and divided into two main groups (F=with ferrule, NF=no ferrule). Each main group was further subdivided into three subgroups according to the core material used: direct composite cores (DC), Ribbond fibre-reinforced composite cores (RIB-DC), and glass fibre post (GFP) with direct composite cores (GFP-DC).
