DOI

PMID
:26286271
Background:
Restoration of anterior primary teeth with severe caries lesion is a big challenge. The aim of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of three types of post, including composite resin, customized quartz fiber and prefabricated glass fiber in restoration of severely damaged primary anterior teeth.
Materials and Methods:
Sixty extracted human primary maxillary incisors were randomly divided into three groups: Group 1: Customized quartz fiber post, Group 2: Composite post and Group 3: Prefabricated glass fiber post. Due to the effect of bonded area on the fracture resistance, the bonded surface of each sample was measured 1 mm above cementoenamel junction. An increasing force was subjected with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min by a universal testing machine until fracture occurred, and the failure mode was assessed afterwards. Data were analyzed using One-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The level of significance was considered at
P
< 0.05.
Results:
The mean fracture resistance values of three groups were 343.28 N, 278.70 N and 284.76 N, respectively. Although customized quartz fiber post showed the greatest fracture resistance, statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between groups (
P
= 0.21). The mean fracture strength values of three groups were 12.82 N/mm
–2
, 11.93 N/mm
–2
and 11.31 N/mm
–2
, respectively; however, the differences were not statistically significant (
P
= 0.72). Favorable failure mode was more frequent in all groups (
P
= 0.12).
Conclusion:
Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that all three types of studied posts can be successfully used to restore badly destructed primary anterior teeth.

Original Article:
Technical quality of root canal therapies performed by novice dental students in preclinical practice
Mahmood Reza Kalantar Motamedi, Seyed Hamid Reza Davoodi, Alireza Saeidi, Behnaz Barekatain, Hamid Noormohammadi, Hamid Razavian
Dent Res J
2015, 12:365 (24 July 2015)
DOI

PMID
:26288628
Background:
For improving the quality of endodontic performance of practitioners in clinical practice, their basic, preclinical performance and knowledge must be taken into consideration. This study aimed to radiographically evaluate the technical quality of preclinical molar root canal treatments (RCTs) performed by undergraduate dental students at a dental school in Iran. Further, the effect of using Gates-Glidden (GG) drills on the final quality of RCTs was evaluated.
Materials and Methods:
In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 315 roots of 105 endodontically treated teeth in preclinical practice were evaluated radiographically. The analyzed quality parameters included length, taper and density of fillings, which were scored as S2 (adequate standard), the S1 (slight deviation), or S0 (considerable deviation). For all the parameters, acceptable, moderate and poor fillings received total scores of 6, 3-5 and 0-2, respectively. There were two groups of students: One group had used only K-files, and the other had used K-files along with GG drills. The quality of RCTs between these groups was evaluated using the aforementioned scoring protocol. The results were analyzed using Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Fisher's exact tests (α = 0.05).
Results:
Under-fillings (
P
= 0.001) and under-shapings (
P
= 0.007) occurred mostly in mandibular root fillings. A lower density was found in maxillary fillings (
P
< 0.001). No relationship was observed between the technique used (irrespective of GG drills usage) and length (
P
= 0.499) and taper of fillings (
P
= 0.238). The roots instrumented with GG drills had a higher filling density (
P
= 0.004). The quality mean score of RCTs was improved when GG drills were used (
P
= 0.008).
Conclusion:
The technical quality of preclinical molar RCTs performed by undergraduate dental students was considered acceptable in 35.6% of the cases. When GG drills were used along with K-files, the technical quality of RCTs was enhanced.

Effect of tightening torque on the marginal adaptation of cement-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses
Jalil Ghanbarzadeh, Hossin Dashti, Reza Karamad, Marzieh Alikhasi, Mohammadreza Nakhaei
Dent Res J
2015, 12:359 (24 July 2015)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.161458
PMID
:26288627
Background:
The final position of the abutment changes with the amount of tightening torque. This could eventually lead to loss of passivity and marginal misfit of prostheses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different tightening torques on the marginal adaptation of 3-unit cement-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs).
Materials and Methods:
Two implants (Straumann) were inserted in an acrylic block so that one of the implants was placed vertically and the other at a 15° vertical angle. A straight abutment and a 15° angulated abutment were connected to the vertically and obliquely installed implants, respectively, so that the two abutments were parallel. Then, 10 cement-retained FDPs were waxed and cast. Abutments were tightened with 10, 20, and 35 Ncm torques, respectively. Following each tightening torque, FDPs were luted on respective abutments with temporary cement. The marginal adaptation of the retainers was evaluated using stereomicroscope. FDPs were then removed from the abutments and were sectioned at the connector sites. The retainers were luted again on their respective abutments. Luting procedures and marginal adaptation measurement were repeated. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and least significant difference tests (α = 0.05). After cutting the FDP connectors, the independent samples
t
-test was used to compare misfit values (α = 0.05).
Results:
Following 10, 20, and 35 Ncm tightening torques, the marginal discrepancy of the retainers of FDPs significantly increased (
P
< 0.05). There was no significant difference between the marginal discrepancies of these two retainers (
P
> 0.05). The marginal gap values of angulated abutment retainers (ANRs) were significantly higher than those of the straight abutment after cutting the connectors (
P
= 0.026).
Conclusion:
Within the limitations of this study, the marginal misfit of cement-retained FDPs increased continuously when the tightening torque increased. After cutting the connectors, the marginal misfit of the ANRs was higher than those of the straight abutment retainers.
