The purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate the influence of post length, post material, and substance loss evaluated by comparing 1 with 2 residual dentinal walls on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated mandibular premolars. A total of 96 extracted human mandibular first premolars were endodontically treated and divided into 12 test groups (n=8 each) based on the number of residual walls (one/two), post material glass fiber (GF), titanium (TI), and post length (5 mm, 7.5 mm, and 10 mm). After luting the posts, specimens received a composite resin core and a crown preparation with a 1.5 mm ferrule. Cast cobalt-chromium crowns were cemented using glass-ionomer cement. After 1,200,000 loading cycles in a chewing simulator with a load of 49 N and simultaneous thermocycling (5 °C to 55 °C), specimens were quasi-statically loaded at 30 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the tooth until fracture. Fracture loads were analyzed using three-way, two-way, and one-way analysis of variance (α=.05). Fracture modes were examined under a stereomicroscope (×25) and recorded. The fracture loads ranged from 642 ±190 N (one wall, GF, 5 mm) to 1,170 ±130 N (two walls, TI, 7.5 mm). The mean fracture load of TI posts was significantly higher than that of GF posts (P≤.001), and the 7.5 mm post length exhibited significantly higher fracture loads than groups with 5 mm and 10 mm post length (P=0.008). It can be concluded that the teeth restored with TI posts provide considerably higher fracture resistance than teeth restored with GF posts, especially if 7.5 mm-length posts are used.","abstract_html":"There is little scientific data available about the influence of the three factors post length, post material, and substance loss on the fracture resistance of endodontic treated teeths (ETTs).
