{"title":"Knowledge, attitude, practice and perception survey on post and core restorations","authors":"Aruna Kumari Veronica, Shamini Sai, Anand V Susila","doi":"10.4103/endo.endo_189_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/endo.endo_189_22","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Aim: The purpose of this survey is to gain insight into the choice of endodontic posts and failure mode of different types of posts and their management by the dentist. Material and Methods: Dentists have a wide range of options for the use of endodontic posts, so they should know the preferred post, the failure mode for a different type of post, and its management in case of failure, so questionnaire was prepared based on this. Survey was done among general dentists, endodontists and prosthodontists, through Google Sheets, SurveyMonkey, and manually. 230 dentists (156-general; 45-endodontists; 29-Prosthodontists) participated in this survey. Results: FRC post is preferred post in anteriors among general dentists, endodontists and prosthodontists. The most preferred post in posteriors among endodontists is FRC(49%), prosthodontists is cast post, among general dentists it is cast post and metal posts(36% each). Selection criteria among all the groups are requirement for esthetic crown. Managing endodontic failure among 54% of general dentists, 56% of endodontists and 66% of prosthodontists is post retrieval using ultrasonics followed by retreatment. Fracture of teeth is the predominant reason among all the groups for failure of post retained crown. The management of FRC post failure among endodontists and prosthodontists were ultrasonic retrieval. Commonest failure for FRC post among general dentists and endodontists is post dislodgement wheras among prosthodontists is tooth fracture. Conclusion: Prosthetic rehabilitation of root canal-treated teeth is the ultimate goal of endodontics. Correct knowledge ensures the right attitude in selecting the best post for core retention in endodontically treated teeth.","PeriodicalId":11607,"journal":{"name":"Endodontology","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135845066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Calculation of sample size was done with G*Power software (version 3.1.9.4) (effect size d = 1.46). Eighteen single-canal mandibular premolars were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction for standardization of specimen length as 12 mm. Biomechanical preparation was done with ProTaper Universal rotary file up to F4. Internal resorption cavity was prepared with #08 size round bur 6 mm from the apex. Samples were distributed randomly into two groups. Group I: teeth with bioceramic sealer (EndoSequence BC Sealer, Brasseler, USA) application using conventional technique and hybrid technique of obturation. Group II: capillary condensation technique of bioceramic sealer (EndoSequence BC Sealer, Brasseler USA) using single-cone gutta-percha obturation. The voids in three segments of the root canal were measured with cone-beam computed tomography using “OnDemand3D App” software. Data were statistically analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparisons of Tukey honestly significant difference tests with P < 0.05. Results: The mean area of the void was 0.3963 ± 0.3299 mm2 for Group I and 0.4022 ± 0.4101 mm2 for Group II. There was a difference in the number of voids present in different sections of the root within a group with significance but not between the groups.

Objective: The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of smear layer removal with chitosan gel and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) gel as an intracanal lubricant and to evaluate the cumulative outcome of chitosan gel and final rinse on smear layer removal compared to EDTA gel and solution. Materials and Methods: Forty single-rooted extracted human premolars were decoronated to a standard length. Cleaning and shaping were carried out using Mtwo rotary instrument and 3% sodium hypochlorite irrigant. Prepared specimens were divided into four equal groups (n = 10). In first two groups, 17% EDTA gel lubricant was used during instrumentation and final rinsing was carried out with 2 ml saline in one group and 2 ml 17% EDTA solution for 1 min in the other. In other two groups, 0.2% chitosan gel was used as lubricant, and final rinsing was carried out with 2 ml saline in one group and 2 ml 0.2% chitosan solution for 3 min in the other group. All the samples were then longitudinally sectioned which were then evaluated under scanning electron microscope for smear layer removal in three levels, i.e., cervical, middle, and apical third. Statistical Analysis Used: Comparison of mean smear layer scores in the coronal middle and apical thirds of the root canals between four study groups was done using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Mann–Whitney Post hoc analysis for intergroup comparison with P < 0.05 as statistically significant. Results: In coronal, middle, and apical third sections of root canal, EDTA combination and chitosan combination groups demonstrated statistically significant smear layer removal compared to EDTA gel alone and chitosan gel alone groups. Among the gel groups, chitosan gel has shown a significant smear layer removal ability than EDTA gel. Conclusions: 0.2% chitosan gel lubricant and final rinse solution combination showed comparable smear layer removal as that of 17% EDTA gel lubricant and final rinse. While 0.2% chitosan gel lubricant with saline final rinse showed similar smear layer removal ability like 17% EDTA gel with saline final rinse in coronal and middle third, it performed better than EDTA gel in the crucial apical one-third of root canal.","PeriodicalId":11607,"journal":{"name":"Endodontology","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135844774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Forty-eight single-rooted human maxillary central incisors were selected and decoronated 6 mm above and 9 mm below the cementoenamel junction to simulate the immature teeth. Based on weight and homogeneity, the samples were distributed into three experimental groups (n = 12) and one control group (n = 12). In all the experimental group samples, a peeso reamer size 5 was stepped out 1 mm beyond the apex to enlarge the apices to a diameter of 1.5 mm. Apical plugs of MTA Plus (Prevest DenPro Limited, India), Biodentine (Septodont, France), and Bone cement (Surgical Simplex P, Stryker, Australia) were placed to 4 mm, and obturation was done using gutta-percha and AH Plus® sealer (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany). The force was applied at 45° angulation until fracture, using the universal testing machine. The results were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test at a 95% confidence level. Results: The Biodentine group showed a statistically higher fracture resistance value than the MTA Plus and bone cement group (P = 0.014 and P = 0.016, respectively). No statistically significant difference was reported between MTA Plus and the bone cement group. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, using Biodentine as an apical plug increases the fracture resistance of immature teeth. Bone cement can be used as a viable alternative to MTA.","PeriodicalId":11607,"journal":{"name":"Endodontology","volume":"35 1","pages":"30 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42415550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
