Abstract
It is of interest to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically and non-endodontically treated teeth with class II cavity using different techniques and materials. Endodontic access cavities were prepared with the diamond fissure bur following the MOD cavity preparations,. The root canals preparation was done followed by obturation using the single cone obturation technique. Later all the samples were embedded in acrylic resin blocks and divided into 8 groups; Group 1: -Intact teeth (Control), Group 2: - MOD (unfilled), Group 3: - MOD restored with composite resin (3M FILTEK P-60 packable), Group 4: - MOD restored with Cention N (Ivoclar Vivadent), Group 5: - 10 mm fiber–post with composite resin, Group 6: - 5mm fiber post with composite resin, Group 7: - Ribbond on the occlusal and composite resin, and Group 8: - Horizontal fiber post with composite resin. Later all samples were subjected for fracture resistance testing using Universal Testing Machine. The mean fracture resistance of Control (513.2 N), Unfilled (60.2N), composite resin (221 N), cention N (88.9 N), 10 mm fiber post (271.4 N), 5 mm fiber post (245 N), Ribbond (456.4N), and horizontal fiber post (338.1N) was found. The fracture resistance values are statistically significant between each group. Best fracture resistance was found to be of intact teeth followed by ribbond on the occlusal surface after endodontic treatment and least fracture resistance of MOD unfilled. Thus, ribbond method is good for the occlusal of teeth compared to other materials for fracture resistance.
