Comparative analysis of four direct post endodontic restorations: A short term study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: The restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a topic that is extensively studied and yet remains controversial from many perspectives. This study aimed to evaluate the compressive strength of direct post endodontic restoration. Materials and methods: 40 extracted maxillary molars were selected. Root canal treatment was done for the teeth and then divided into 4 groups for direct post endodontic restoration: i) silver amalgam, ii) high strength glass ionomer cement, iii) composite resin iv) Cention N (a new alkasite material). The teeth were then subjected to compressive stress in a Universal Testing Machine. Results: The compressive strength of silver amalgam, Cention N and composite resin were comparable. The compressive strength of glass ionomer cement showed lesser compressive strength to the other groups. Conclusion: Silver amalgam, composite resin and Cention N showed no difference in compressive strength. Glass ionomer cement showed lesser compressive strength compared to the others.
