Purpose: To evaluate survival rates of adhesive post-endodontic buildups made using composite resin and prefabricated quartz fiber posts.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included all buildups placed between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2012, by a single skilled operator using a single-adhesive system and dual-curing cement. Final restorations included direct composites, various types of crowns, and fixed partial dentures. During recall, teeth were inspected by four different dentists, and survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier test.
Results: A total of 301 root canal-treated incisors and canines were restored. At repeat follow-up appointments, 291 restorations were still in function after a mean time of service of 7.13 ± 2.11 years. Cumulative survival probability at 9 years was 96.0%. No parameter observed was found by log-rank test to have a statistically significant effect on survival rate.
Conclusion: Adhesive buildup with prefabricated fiber posts in anterior teeth is a reliable method of post-endodontic treatment in this given clinical protocol.

Objectives: The aim of this non-interventional, multi-center, prospective, practice-based study was, firstly, to evaluate the longevity of composite build-ups in endodontically treated teeth, treated with root canal therapy (ETT), without post placement and secondly, to identify and analyze factors influencing the success of these reconstructions.
Methods: Each of seven general dental practitioners placed up to 50 composite build-ups without additional posts in ETT. Teeth were restricted to incisors, canines and premolars.

Background Restoring endodontically treated teeth has long posed a challenge for clinicians. The endocrown (EC) is an innovative and conservative restoration designed for teeth with severely damaged coronal structures. ECs offer performance that is equivalent to or even exceeds that of traditional post-core-crown treatments.

(1) Background: The in vitro study aimed to investigate mechanical characteristics of resin composites and their suitability in direct restauration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT). (2) Methods: 38 endodontically treated premolars with occlusal access cavities were directly restored using the following resin composites and adhesives: Tetric Evo Ceram + Syntac classic ( = 10), Venus Diamond + iBond Total-Etch ( = 10), Grandio + Solobond M ( = 9), Estelite Sigma Quick + Bond Force ( = 9). After thermocycling, the elastic modulus, shear-bond-strength, fracture load (Fmax) and fracture mode distribution were evaluated.

: Classic endocrowns made of dental ceramics are considered a promising alternative to traditional post-endodontic restorations. The use of circular ferrules in endocrowns is a topic of controversial discussion. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the effect of ferrule design and cementation mode on the fatigue resistance of zirconia endocrowns.

When restoring an endodontically treated tooth, it is important to preserve the pericervical dentin so it is resistant especially to lateral forces occurring during mastication. When little pericervical dentin is seen to be present, an adhesive restoration is indicated. Tooth survival of endodontically treated teeth restored with adhesive direct and indirect restorations varies between 90.
