Objectives: To evaluate the effect of different intraradicular posts on the dimensions of computed tomography (CT) images in cone-beam and fan-beam equipment.
Materials And Methods: : A total of 15 root canals of bovine teeth were instrumented up to a file #50 and root-filled by the active lateral condensation technique. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups, according to the type of intraradicular post: 1) tight fiberglass post; 2) anatomical fiberglass post; and 3) metal post. The root canals were desobturated in 10 mm and tomographic images were acquired in two devices, a cone-beam and fan-beam equipment. Then, the intraradicular posts were cemented using an automix self-conditioning and self-adhesive resin cement, and the final acquisitions of the CT images were performed for analysis. The diameter of the canal was compared before and after cementation of the intraradicular posts. The t-test was used between the initial and final measurements of each tomograph and also between the cone-beam and fan-beam tomographs (α = 0.05).
Results: The anatomical fiberglass post presented the smallest dimensional change among the initial and final measurements, followed by the tight fiberglass post, with the metal post being the material that showed the most considerable dimensional difference in the cone-beam.
Conclusion: All of the intraradicular posts used promoted a change in the size of the CT image. The fan-beam scanner promoted greater dimensional change in the images.

Comparative finite element analyses of stress exerted on the dentin by intraradicular posts.
Braz Dent J

Department of Dentistry, Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.
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.
Chinese dentists' restorative preferences and choices for endodontically treated teeth: a representative survey.

Department of Stomatology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, 1838 N Guangzhou RD, Guangzhou, PR, China.
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.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare the fracture resistance of canine teeth restored with TRINIA Endocrowns using three different preparation depths (2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm).
- Thirty extracted maxillary canines were endodontically treated and divided into three groups, each receiving endocrowns bonded using a dual-cure resin cement.
- Results indicated that endocrowns with 2 mm and 3 mm preparations exhibited significantly higher fracture resistance compared to the 4 mm preparation, with the 2 mm version being mostly reparable after failure.
