This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the restoration of teeth retained through root canal treatment, from the perspective of adhesive dentistry. The challenge of adhesion to root dentin is first explained and guidance provided on assessment of the restorability of endodontically treated teeth. The types of prefabricated passive post are then described in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of each type are outlined, with identification of the factors that influence post selection. Further topics include the ferrule effect, evidence‐based clinical applications of fiber posts and new methods to lute fiber posts to the root canal without dentin adhesives. In addition, frequent myths are identified and dispelled. All aspects are illustrated with clinical and laboratory images, diagrams and high-resolution electron microscopy photographs.

Traditional dental materials such as metals and ceramics have a number of disadvantages such as cost and the significant damage caused in grinding to make space for such reconstructions. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are a novel group of dental materials characterized by fibrous fillers that are being increasingly used in place of traditional prosthodontic materials. They allow fabrication of minimally invasive, lightweight, durable and biocompatible restorations. This book will provide clinicians and students with theoretical and clinical guidelines to use the FRCs for dental applications. The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of FRCs in dentistry. Further chapters cover the treatment possibilities, fabrication and application procedures of FRCs, followed by information on care and maintenance. Explores the mechanism of function of fibre-reinforced composites Presents comprehensive information on the expanding field of fibre-reinforced composites and their increasing use in dentistry

The aim of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance and failure pattern of endodontically treated premolars with simulated abfraction in various restorations. Thirty-two extracted two-rooted maxillary first premolars with same sizes and shapes were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8) for different restorations types. The control group was endodontically treated without simulated abfraction and restored with resin composite at access opening. Groups 1 - 3 were simulated with abfraction, filled with resin composite, endodontically treated and then restored with different methods. Group 1 (RF) was restored with resin composite at access opening, group 2 (P/RF) was restored with fiber post and resin composite and group 3 (P/ZC) was restored with fiber post, resin composite and zirconium crown. The teeth then were placed into acrylic blocks with simulated PDL. The specimens were loaded at central fossae, 30° to long axis of the teeth until failure. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Scheffe test at a 95% level of confidence. The results showed that the fracture resistance of control group, groups RF and P/RF had not statistically significant difference (p>0.05), while the fracture resistance of group P/ZC was significantly higher than those of groups RF and P/RF (p

This unique collection highlights the central role played by modeling in general, and the modeling of mechanical considerations that have an effect on living matter. The volume collects several survey papers by actively working specialists, dealing with some of the most important problems – both theoretical and practical – in biomechanics. Written in a user-friendly style, these papers clearly explain both the biomedical and mechanical backgrounds associated with complex phenomena. This book may be used in interdisciplinary introductory courses covering various biomechanical topics for graduate students in applied mathematics, engineering, and biomedicine.
