A coronoradicular reconstruction (CRR) has conventionally used a metallic inlay core (MIC) or a single-fiber-reinforced composite (sFRC) but extensive dentin removal can lead to root fracture. We propose herein a multi-fiber-reinforced composite (mFRC) based on a bundle of thin flexible fibers that can be adapted to the root anatomy without removing additional dentin. The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical behavior of the root reconstructed with mFRC, MIC, or sFRC using a finite element analysis (FEA). Models with or without a ferrule effect were created using Autodesk software and divided into four parts: root, post, bonding composite or cement, and zirconia crown. For both models, extreme stress values (ESV), stress distribution, and risk of fracture were calculated for an oblique force (45°) of 100 N applied to the top of the buccal cusp. Results indicated that mFRC and mFRCG present a lower risk of fracture of the root and of the CRR without ferrule and thus could be valuable alternatives for premolar CRR. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical success of these CRR.

Maxillary premolar with an oval-shaped canal always poses a challenge while reconstruction using the post and core system. Fiber-post has many advantages over metallic-post and so fiber-post is becoming more popular and particularly widely used than metallic-post nowadays. Fiber-post has benefits of esthetic and strength, and its combination with flexible material, Ribbond has provided it with a high rise in the field of dentistry.

Background: Endodontically treated teeth are widely considered to be more susceptible to fracture than vital teeth. Obturation procedures and post placement have been a main cause of vertical root fracture.

Material And Methods: Forty-eight human premolars with standardized weakened roots were endodontically treated and allocated to four experimental groups (n=12).

Statement Of Problem: Following endodontic therapy, teeth need to be protected, particularly in the cervical region, where the majority of fractures occur. The likelihood of a fracture depends on the condition of the crown and the type of reconstruction performed.

Purpose: This simulation study was designed to compare the effect of different corono-radicular reconstruction methods on stress transmission to dental tissues.
