This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of FiberSite and glass fiber postsystems on the fracture resistance of endodontically restored teeth, when combined with various root canal sealers. Forty human mandibular premolar teeth, each having a single root with anatomically comparable dimension and length, were selected. The teeth in each experimental group ( = 10) were instrumented, obturated, and restored with the following procedures: in group 1, AH Plus root canal sealer and a glass fiber post with a composite core; in group 2, AH Plus root canal sealer and a FiberSite postsystem; in group 3, Sure-Seal Root canal sealer and a glass fiber post with a composite core; and in group 4, Sure-Seal Root canal sealer and a FiberSite postsystem. The specimens were placed on a universal test machine. The fracture resistance of all specimens was tested using generic test equipment, and the value of the force in newton (N) during fracture was measured for each root. A statistical analysis was conducted through the Kruskal-Wallis test as well as the post hoc test. The tests showed a significant difference between groups 2 and 3, with group 3 producing load values that were significantly higher than group 2. In contrast, no significant differences were found to exist between the other groups. Regardless of postsystems, groups 3 and 4 showed higher mean fracture values (but no statistically significant differences) than groups 1 and 2.

Comparison of mechanical properties and shaping performance of ProGlider and ProTaper ultimate slider.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Conservative Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, 26-6, Kyungheedae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 02453, Republic of Korea.

Background: This study aims to compare design, phase transformation behavior, and torsional resistance of the ProGlider (PG) and ProTaper ultimate slider (PUS) and to compare the performance of two files in the glide-path preparation of a double-curved artificial canal.

Methods: Scanning electron microscopy, micro-computed tomography, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the samples. A torsional resistance test was performed to obtain ultimate strength and distortion angle.

Background: Endodontic treatment aims in the preservation of extremely carious primary teeth. For root canal therapy to be successful, root canals must be properly prepared and effectively irrigated .Therefore, it is necessary to select the proper root canal disinfection method to preserve the primary tooth.

Dental inflammatory diseases remain a challenging clinical issue, whose causes and development are still not fully understood. During dental caries, bacteria penetrate the tooth pulp, causing pulpitis. To prevent pulp necrosis, it is crucial to promote tissue repair by recruiting immune cells, such as macrophages, able to secrete signal molecules for the pulp microenvironment and thus to recruit dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in the damaged site.

Comparative Analysis of Fracture Resistance of Endodontic Sealer Types and Filling Methods.

Materials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Advanced General Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea.

With the advent of bioceramic sealers, sealers have become a more important filling material for endodontic treatment. When a solid sealer, rather than an elastic gutta-percha, occupies a significant portion of the root canal, it is unclear whether the tooth structure will be strengthened to withstand stress or whether the increased stiffness will transmit the load directly to the entire root, potentially causing root fracture. This study compared the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of roots filled with various root canal sealers, including bioceramic sealers, and each corresponding filling technique.
