Abstract

Nowadays there are different types of treatments for cavities and trauma in teeth. When the problem affects the pulp it might be needed an endodontic treatment, which causes teeth to lose a lot of dental structure during the process. It’s very important to make the right choice when a tooth needs to be restored; its prognosis depends on that. A wrong decision can cause a teeth fracture or its future extraction. A good option for tooth rehabilitation is putting a crown after an intraradicular post. The proper indications of fiber post are to retain the crown, but there are some cases in which a tooth with a post can fracture. The level of the fracture depends directly of the remaining structure of the teeth. In this study we are going to evaluate the resistance of the force in different groups of premolars restored with a direct resin and with a fiber post. It’s an in vitro study that evaluates 30 random premolars, which were divided into 3 different groups. The control group had 10 natural teeth with no cavities, fractures or with composite. The first group had an endodontic treatment with a resin composite, and the second group was endodontically treated with an intrarradicular fiber post. The three groups had compression forces applied with a 1mm/min speed and a 45º angle with a universal testing machine, Tinius Olsen. The values were analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey. The results proved that the control group is statistically significant comparing to the first group. Groups 1 and 2 where statistically insignificant. Therefore, a healthy tooth shows to be the one to resists more forces. A tooth restored with fiber post will be the second one to resist more forces, and finally the one restored with composite resin only will be the worst tooth to resist forces comparing it to the previous options.
