Abstract

The aim was to determine the fracture-behavior of incisors restored with different post-core foundations and crown made of conventional composite (PFC, G-aenial Anterior). Forty bovine-incisors were cut and divided into 5 groups. Group A had teeth restored using fiber-post and Gradia Core as core build-up and crown of PFC. Group B contained teeth restored with fiber-post and core made of everX Flow and crown of PFC. In Group C, the teeth were restored with everX Flow as post-core and crown of PFC. Group D, post-core-crown restorations were indirectly made from CERASMART. Group E, teeth were restored with Gradia Core as post-core and crown of PFC. Restored teeth were statically-loaded until fracture. ANOVA revealed that restoration technique significantly affected load-bearing capacity (p<0.05). Restored incisors (Group B) had the highest load-bearing capacity (443 N) among all groups. Using everX Flow as core material with fiber-post is promising to strengthen structurally compromised incisors.
