Abstract

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature roots using Biodentine (BD) and fiber post (FP) compared with different root canal-filling materials under aging conditions.

Materials and methods

One hundred and forty maxillary central anterior teeth were randomly divided into seven groups (n = 20/group). Negative control received no treatment. In the other groups, the root canals were prepared to simulate immature teeth. The root canals were filled with a 4-mm apical plug of BD and restored intraradicular with BD, BD + FP, composite resin (CR), CR + FP, and gutta-percha (GP). Positive controls were instrumented but without restoration. Teeth were subjected to thermocycling and received cyclic loading before fracture resistance test. Fracture resistance was conducted using a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until fracture. Load to fracture was recorded in newtons (N). Data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test at P < 0.05.

Results

Root canals restored intraradicular with BD + FP and CR + FP showed the highest fracture resistance compared with the other experimental groups (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the fracture resistance between CR and BD groups (P = 0.998). GP and positive control groups were significantly lower resistance to fracture than the other groups (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

Intraradicular reinforcement with BD + FP and CR + FP enhanced the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth than the other experimental groups.

Clinical relevance

Biodentine or composite resin combined with fiber post could be used to reinforce immature teeth with an apical Biodentine plug.
