RESUMO

Fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth reconstructed with polyethylene woven fiber ribbon post and cores and dentinal post and cores has been evaluated. For that purpose, 60 human maxillary canines were selected, cut on the cementoenamel junction, endodontically treated (non- filled canal to a depth of 8mm)and fixed in acrylic resin blocks. The specimens were randomly distributed in 4 groups of 15 units each: 1) conventional canal preparation and making of polyethylene woven fiber ribbon post and cores; 2) conventional preparation of canals and dentinal post and cores; 3) fairly flared canals and dentinal post and cores; 4) greatly flared canals and dentinal post and cores. On groups 1 and 2, canals were enlarged as much as number 4 Largo bur; on groups 3 and 4, canals were subjected to standardized sequential cutting to permit a simulation of fairly or greatly flared roots. On group 4, the width of canal walls on the gingival third was 0.5mm. Post cementation was performed with the use of Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus bonding agent and Enforce resin cement. The core was built with self-curing composite reinforced with Ti-Core titanium. Specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 hours and subsequently subjected to compression fracture resistance tests on the Kratos universal testing machine until system failure. Load of 100kgf was applied at a speed of 0.5mm/min at an 135° angle in relation to the long axis of the root. Fracture resistance under compression presented the following values (in decreasing order): 1) group 3 – 58.67kgf; 2) group 2 – 53.30kgf; 3) group 4 – 47.91kgf; 4) group 1 – 45.46kgf. Results were subjected to statistical analysis (ANOVA and Tukey),which only showed significant statistical difference between groups 1 and 3. As to the patterns of failure, the figures observed were: group 1 - 86.6% on the post and/or core; group 2 - 46.6% on the gingival third of the root and an equal figure for post and/or core; group 3 - 40% on the gingival third of the root and 53.3% on the post and/or core; group 4 - 66% on the gingival third of the root and 33.3% on the middle third of the root.
