    Effects of intracanal medicaments and the remaining cavity wall on fracture strength of endodontically treated molars [Efeitos dos medicamentos intracanais e do muro de cavidade remanescente na força de fratura dos molares endodonticamente tratados]
    (Universidade Estadual Paulista, Institute of Science and Technology of Sao Jose dos Campos, 2018) Olcay K.; Coban A.N.; Belli S.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the short-term intracanal application of two medicaments on the fracture strength of root-filled molar teeth with different levels of tooth structure loss. Material and Methods: Standard access cavities of totally 84 intact maxillary molar teeth were prepared in 72 teeth and were divided into 3 main groups. Standard access cavities were vkept in the first group, while mesio-occlusal-distal cavities (MOD) were prepared in the second and third groups. One-half of the palatinal walls were removed in the third group. Twelve sound teeth were used in the fourth group as control. Each group was then assigned into two subgroups according to the medicament used (n=12): 2% chlorhexidine gel and calcium hydroxide. Samples were stored at 37°C and 100% humidity for 1 week. Then the teeth were inserted into a universal testing machine and vertically loaded (5 mm/min) from the occlusal surface. The data was recorded in Newtons and statistically evaluated using a Univariate ANOVA and a Tukey as post hoc test. Results: A significant difference was found among the test groups (p<0.01). No significant difference was found according to the medicament used (p>0.05), however the number of remaining walls significantly affected the fracture strength (p<0.01). The first group with access cavity showed mostly repairable fractures (60%–80%) whereas the others showed mostly nonrepairable fracture patterns (60%–90%). Conclusion: In conclusion, the fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth is related to the structure loss rather than the intracanal medicament used. © 2018, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Institute of Science and Technology of Sao Jose dos Campos.

    Prevalence of vertical root fracture in extracted endodontically treated teeth: A prospective study
    (Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Dentistry, 2017) Olcay K.; Ataoğlu H.; Belli S.
    Objectives: Vertical root fracture (VRF) is one of the complications of endodontic treatment which results extraction of the related tooth. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate prevalence of VRF in extracted endodontically treated teeth. Materials and Methods: During a 1 year period 241 teeth were observed. All of the cases were from extracted teeth after endodontic treatment. Clinical signs, symptoms, the informations about patient and related tooth were recorded. Results: A total of 17 (7.02%) cases of VRF occurring among 241 cases were observed. The VRF occurred most frequently in the mesial roots of the mandibular first molars (23.5%) and they were the most frequently extracted teeth (35.2%). The VRF prevalence of maxillary first molars was 23.5%, maxillary first and second premolars with a same frequency (11.7%) were the following most fractured teeth. The fractures were predominantly buccolingual and were more frequent in female patients (58.8%). The mean patient age was 36 years and the mean time to VRF was 45 months. Most of the teeth which undergo VRF had a composite restoration (41.1%). 23.5% of the teeth had a post restoration and from among these posted teeth 75% were fully crowned. VRF was found similar frequency in mandibular teeth and in maxillary teeth (p > 0.05). Conclusions: After average of 45 months from endodontic treatment, mandibular first molar teeth were found most frequently prone to extraction due to VRF. Further investigation is necessary to determine the possible causes and evidence of fracture development. © 2017 Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Dentistry.
