Comparing Fracture Resistance and the Time Required for Two Different Fiber Post Removal Systems.
Journal of Prosthodontics : Official Journal of the American College of Prosthodontists 2017 January 10
PURPOSE: To compare two fiber post removal techniques in terms of fracture resistance and time required for post removal.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Post space was prepared to a 9-mm depth in each root canal. The roots were randomly divided into three groups of 15 specimens each. D.T. Light-Posts were cemented in all groups. In group 1, fiber posts were removed using the D.T. Light-Post-removal kit; in group 2, Start-X stainless-steel ultrasonic tips were used. In group 3, fiber posts were left without removal (the control group). For all groups, fracture resistance (N) value was measured and recorded using a universal testing machine. Times required for fiber post removal were also recorded for the two study groups.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the control and removal kit groups for fracture resistance values (p = 0.233). The fracture resistance value of the ultrasonic group was found to be significantly lower than that of the control group (p = 0.001) as well as that of the removal kit group (p = 0.032). The fiber post removal time for the ultrasonic group was significantly longer than that for the removal kit group (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Compared to the removal kit, removal of the fiber posts with an ultrasonic tip decreases the fracture resistance of the roots, although significantly more time is required.
