A new approach to salvaging an existing fixed partial denture.

This case report describes the clinical procedures for salvaging a serviceable fixed partial denture (FPD) that deteriorated because of cement dissolution beneath the distal retainer. After removal of the FPD it was noticed that the "core reconstruction" was dislodged (the prefabricated post remained in the canal and required removal). A two-stage casting procedure that differed from reported techniques was customized to fit a cast post and core to the prepared root canal and retainer. The FPD was recemented and has been functioning satisfactorily for over 3 years.

Comparison of dentinal crack incidence and of post removal time resulting from post removal by ultrasonic or mechanical force.

The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of canal and intradentin cracks after intraradicular post removal using ultrasonic instrumentation or the Gonan post removal system. Sixty cadaver teeth were divided into 4 groups of 15 teeth each: group 1, ultrasonic removal; group 2, Gonan post removal system; group 3, cemented posts not removed; and group 4, no posts. Groups 1 and 2 were contralateral matched pairs. Para Posts were placed in groups 1, 2, and 3 to 7 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction and luted with ZnPO4 cement. The time required for post removal in groups 1 and 2 was recorded. The teeth were extracted, sectioned, and examined. Canal and intradentin cracks were mapped, and their frequency was recorded at each level. There were statistically more cracks present in the ultrasonic group than the no post group. There were no other differences that reached statistical significance. It took significantly longer for post removal using the ultrasonic tip versus the Gonan system.

Residual dentin thickness in mandibular premolars prepared with gates glidden and ParaPost drills.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The main factor that determines the prognosis of restored pulpless teeth is preservation of sound dentin. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the residual dentinal thickness (RDT) of mandibular premolars after preparation of post space with Gates Glidden and ParaPost drills. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twelve extracted single canal mandibular premolars were embedded in clear polyester resin to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in a muffle device. Three horizontal sections were made 1, 3, and 5 mm apical to the CEJ. Mesiodistal (MD) and faciolingual (FL) axes were carefully marked and the RDT was measured for each slice. Each tooth slice was reassembled in the muffle device with orientation pins, then secured with stabilizing pins. This procedure was repeated after enlarging the root canal to K-40 file and preparing the coronal root canal space with Gates Glidden drills and ParaPost drills Nos. 3, 4, and 5. RESULTS: Residual dentinal thickness in a MD direction was 3.77 +/- 0.51 mm in the unprepared upper slice and 2.23 +/- 0.31 mm in the No. 5 ParaPost drill prepared lower slice, for a difference of 41%. The corresponding values for the FL direction were 4.35 +/- 0.51 mm and 4.08 +/- 0.46 mm, respectively (6%). CONCLUSION: The average dentinal thickness 5 mm below the CEJ in the mesial and distal directions after post space preparation approached the accepted minimal 1 mm. A conservative approach to post space preparation was advocated.

Restoring a failed prefabricated post and core with a sleeve casting: a clinical report.

A clinical case is described, and a technique is explained for making a custom sleeve cast post and core to salvage a fractured crown previously treated with an unretrievable prefabricated post. The restorative problem was to design and fabricate some sort of cast post and core that could be cemented to the remaining post. The amalgam and cement in the pulp chamber and coronal portion of the root canal were carefully removed so that a direct pattern could be made to form a tube which would surround the coronal part of the existing post like a sleeve. This sleeve casting was designed to provide attachment for a core to support a new restoration. This direct pattern technique results in a retained core that joins the already cemented post and provides a sound core for the retention of a new crown.
