Abstract
Context: Fracture of endodontically treated teeth is a grave sequela that a clinician should seriously ponder. Suitable selection of restorative materials is a requisite for long?term clinical success. Aims: To compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with three different posts luted using two different cements under all ceramic crowns. Settings and Design: This in vitro study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics, Government Dental College, Kottayam, Kerala, India. Methods and Material: Thirty endodontically treated single?rooted mandibular premolars in which post spaces were prepared and divided into three different groups. Group 1 (n = 10): zirconia post group. Group 2 (n = 10): quartz fibre post group. Group 3 (n = 10): glass fibre post group. Each group is sub?divided into two based on the luting system: resin?modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) or dual?cure resin cement (DCRC). The fracture resistance testing was performed in a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Statistical Analysis Used: The mean fracture resistance were analysed using independent sample Student t?test and one?way ANOVA. Results: Within the zirconia post group, the mean fracture resistance was higher in DCRC sub?group compared to the RMGIC sub?group and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.017). The difference in fracture resistance between three different post systems was not found to be statistically significant with respect to both the luting systems. Conclusions: It was observed that when zirconia post is used, the mean fracture resistance was higher in dual?cure resin group compared to the resin?modified GIC group.
