ABSTRACT
Objetivo: realizar uma revisão de literatura narrativa sobre a importância e a influência do efeito férula na resistência à fratura de restaurações em dentes tratados endodonticamente com utilização ou não de retentores intrarradiculares. Metodologia: Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores indexados no DeCS (Descritores em Ciências da Saúde): "Férula", Prótese Dentária", "Falha da Restauração Dentária", "Técnica de Retentor Intrarradicular" e "Pinos de Retenção Dentária" para busca nas bases de dados PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, Web of Science, Scopus e Cochrane Library. Resultados: Os dados da maioria dos estudos in vitro ou in vivo incluídos nesta revisão sugerem o uso da férula para aumento da resistência à fratura e longevidade dos dentes tratados endodonticamente. Tem sido recomendada a confecção de uma férula com altura uniforme de 2 mm e espessura superior a 1,5 mm. Conclusão: O uso de retentores radiculares foi indicado pela maioria dos trabalhos, sendo geralmente recomendados os pinos de fibra de vidro ao invés de núcleos metálicos fundidos para minimizar os riscos de fratura radicular em razão do módulo de elasticidade semelhante à dentina, além de possibilidade de retratamentos em casos de falhas adesivas. Apesar disso, ainda são necessários estudos clínicos com acompanhamento a longo prazo para avaliar a longevidade das restaurações de dentes tratados endodonticamente utilizando pinos de fibra de vidro sem ou com a presença de férula em diferentes espessuras e alturas.
Objective: This study aimed to conduct a narrative literature review on the importance and influence of the ferrule effect on the fracture resistance of restorations in endodon-tically treated teeth with or without the use of intraradicular posts. Methodology: The following descriptors indexed in the DeCS (Health Sciences Descriptors) were used: "Ferrule", Dental Prosthesis", "Dental Restoration Failure", "Post and Core Technique", and "Dental Posts", to search on the databases of PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library data. Results: Data from most of the in vitro or in vivo studies included in this review suggest the use of the ferrule to increase fracture resistance and longevity of endodontically treated teeth. It has been recommended to make a ferrule with a uniform height of 2 mm and a thickness greater than 1.5 mm. Conclusion: The use of intraradicular posts was indicated by most studies, and fiberglass posts are generally recommended instead of cast metal cores to minimize the risk of root fracture due to the modulus of elasticity similar to dentin, in addition to the possibility of retreatments in ad-hesive failure cases. Despite this, clinical studies with a long-term follow-up are essential to evaluating the longevity of restorations of endodontically treated teeth using fiberglass posts without or with the presence of ferrule in different thicknesses and heights.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of using different diameters of parallel cast posts with, or without ferrule, on the overall fracture resistance of Cast Post and Core (CPC). Material and Methods: Forty (40) endodontically treated human maxillary central incisors were divided into four groups (n=10): [F1] 1.0 mm diameter post with ferrule; [NF1] 1.0 mm diameter cast post without ferrule; [F1.5] 1.5 mm diameter cast post with ferrule; [NF1.5] 1.5 mm diameter post without ferrule. For all teeth, the post space (9.0 mm, in depth) was prepared using ParaPostTM drill. CPC using base metal alloy were fabricated and were cemented using resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement along with the Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) crowns. A universal testing machine (Instron) was used to apply horizontal force perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth at the center of lingual surface, until catastrophic failure. Data was submitted to two-way ANOVA and Scheffé tests (P<0.05). Results: Both post diameter and ferrule statistically affected the maximum load at fracture (P=0.004 and P=0.013, respectively). The highest mean values were observed for samples with ferrule and wider post size (490N), while the lowest were observed for samples without ferrule and narrower post size (254N). There was no relationship between the presence of a ferrule and post size (P=0.937). Conclusion: For endodontically treated teeth with no ferrule, a wider-diameter cast post increased fracture resistance of a CPC and PFM crown procedure. (AU)
Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de diferentes diâmetros de núcleos metálicos paralelos (com ou sem férula) na resistência a fratura do procedimento restaurador. Material e Métodos: Quarenta (40) incisivos centrais superiores humanos foram tratados endodonticamente e divididos em quarto grupos (n=10): [F1] Diâmetro de 1.0 mm, com férula; [NF1] Diâmetro de 1.0 mm, sem férula; [F1.5] Diâmetro de 1.5 mm, com férula; [NF1.5] Diâmetro de 1.5 mm, sem férula. Para todos os dentes, o espaço foi preparado para o núcleo (9.0 mm, em comprimento) utilizando brocas do ParaPostTM. Os núcleos metálicos e as coroas metalocerâmicas fabricadas foram cimentados utilizando-se cimento de ionômero de vidro modificado por resina. Uma máquina de ensaios universal (Instron) foi utilizada para aplicar uma força horizontal perpendicular ao longo eixo do dente, no centro da face lingual, até falha catastrófica. Os dados foram analisados através de análise de variância de dois fatores e teste de Scheffé (p<0.05). Resultados: O diâmetro do núcleo e a presença (ou ausência) de férula afteram estatiscamente a resistência máxima a fratura do procedimento (P=0.004 e P=0.013, respectivamente). Os maiores valores foram observados para amostras com férula e de maior diâmetro (490N), enquanto os menores valores foram observados para amostras sem férula e de menor diâmetro (254N). Conclusão: Para dentes tratados endodondicamente, com férula, um núcleo de maior diâmetro aumentou a resistência a fratura de procedimentos restauradores envolvendo coroas metalocerâmicas cimentadas sobre núcleos metálicos fundidos.

The circumferential 2 mm ferrule during the fabrication of the crown is strongly advocated for the long-term clinical success. During the routine clinical practice, the dentist encounters the endodontically treated tooth (ETT) with inadequacy of the ferrule in some segment due to caries, abrasion, and erosions. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the consequence of inadequate segmental ferrule location on fracture strength of the root canal-treated anterior and posterior teeth. Materials and Methods: Fifty each maxillary canine and mandibular premolar intact human teeth were root canal treated and sectioned at 2 mm above the cementum-enamel junction. The teeth samples were divided into 5 groups of 10 each. The G-I and G-V samples had the 360° ferrule and complete absence of the ferrule, respectively. The G-II had the inadequate ferrule on the palatal surface, while G-III and G-IV had inadequate ferrule at buccal and proximal area. Teeth samples were subsequently restored with glass-reinforced fiber post, composite core, and full veneer metal crown. The samples were tested with universal testing machine under static load to record the fracture resistance. The acquired data were subjected to ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc statistical analysis. Results: The G-I with circumferential ferrule showed the higher fracture resistance. The teeth samples with lack of the ferrule had the least fracture resistance. Among the segmental absence of ferrule, teeth samples with lack of the proximal ferrule were least affected. Deficiency of a ferrule on the lingual wall significantly affected the fracture strength in both anterior and posterior ETT. Conclusions: The ETT with sectional inadequacy of the ferrule is significantly more effective in resisting the fracture in comparison to the complete absence of the ferrule.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the influence of fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth with different thickness of ferrule by mechanical fatigue test and static loading test, and so as to provide a reference for the clinical treatment planning.@*Methods@#Fifty bovine incisors were divided into 5 groups by random number table method (n=10). Group A was the control group in which the incisors were prepared without a ferrule design (0 mm). The other four groups (B, C, D, E) were experimental groups, and the thickness of the dentin ferrule prepared for specimens in each group was 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm. The height of ferrules in all the specimens was 2 mm. Cyclic fatigue loading (2.33 Hz, 50 N) was applied on each specimen until either the specimen was dislodged/fractured or the 300 000 cycles were finished. After fatigue loading, the mode of failure was observed. Those intact specimen after fatigue loading were tested under a gradually increasing force using a universal testing machine (0.05 mm/min) until fracture occurred. The forces required to fracture and failure model was recorded.@*Results@#The results of cyclic loading tests showed that: all specimens survived the 300 000 cycles of intermittent loading. The results of static loading tests showed that: the fracture force of A, B, C, D and E groups respectively were (226.4±67.7), (369.7±34.5), (400.7±48.2), (528.1±56.3), and (555.4±98.5) N (F=15.227, P=0.000). There was a significant difference in fracture resistance between group A and the other four groups, and between group B, C and group D, E (P<0.05). No statistical difference were found in fracture resistance among the other groups (P>0.05). There was strong correlation between the thickness of ferrule and the fracture force by Pearson correlation analysis (r=0.973, P=0.002).@*Conclusions@#Within the limitations of this study, the following conclusions can be drawn: The different thickness of ferrule can influence the fracture resistance of the teeth, and when the height of the ferrule is 2.0 mm, the fracture force increased significantly with an increasing ferrule thickness.
ABSTRACT
@#An id eal balance between the post length within root and the coronal extension should exist. Some theories advocated the use of the longest post as possible as the apical seal is not disturbed. Others advocated that the post should be longer than the crown or that the post should be a certain fraction of the length of the root. The conventional post length has been equal to 2/3-3/4 of the root length from half a century ago. Most of these theories have emphasized the post length in order to achieve sufficient retention and rigidity for coronal restoration. However, dental materials are evolving.With the use of fiber post and resin cement, stress distribution and post retention are improved over conventional metal post and zinc phosphate or glass-ionomer cement. Therefore, with improved bonding strength of fiber post, the post length within root should be minimized to maintain sufficient coronal rigidity. Factors affecting fracture resistance balance of a post-and-core system include the amount of Ferrule height (FH), Post length in root (PLIR), Post length in bone (PLIB), Abutment height (AH), Core length (CL) and Post length out of bone (PLOB). In view of the factors mentioned above, this paper investigated the mechanical factorsin a post-and-core system with literature review.
ABSTRACT
@#Among the variety of post and core materials, fiber post is getting more and more popular because of its excellent physical and mechanical characters, superior aesthetics properties. However, it also has some limitations. In the restoration of damaged teeth, there should be more dentin ferrule, and the different designs of ferrule affect the retention, stability and root fracture resistance of teeth restored with fiber posts. The purpose of this article is to give a literature review of the effect of ferrule on teeth restored with fiber posts.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This study evaluated fracture resistance with regard to ferrule lengths and post reinforcement on endodontically treated mandibular premolars incorporating a prefabricated post and resin core. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred extracted mandibular premolars were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=20): intact teeth (NR); endodontically treated teeth (ETT) without post (NP); ETT restored with a prefabricated post with ferrule lengths of either 0 mm (F0), 1 mm (F1), or 2 mm (F2). Prepared teeth were restored with metal crowns. A thermal cycling test was performed for 1,000 cycles. Loading was applied at an angle of 135 degrees to the axis of the tooth using a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 2.54 mm/min. Fracture loads were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test using a statistical program (α=.05). RESULTS: There were statistical differences in fracture loads among groups (P<.001). The fracture load of F2 (237.7 ± 83.4) was significantly higher than those of NP (155.6 ± 74.3 N), F0 (98.8 ± 43.3 N), and F1 (152.8 ± 78.5 N) (P=.011, P<.001, and P=.008, respectively). CONCLUSION: Fracture resistance of ETT depends on the length of the ferrule, as shown by the significantly increased fracture resistance in the 2 mm ferrule group (F2) compared to the groups with shorter ferrule lengths (F0, F1) and without post (NP).

Objective To compare the fracture resistances of teeth restored with 3 different posts-core and failure modes. Methods 54lower premolarsendodontically treated teeth were selected for thisstudy and divided into three groups randomly (without ferrule, 1 mm ferrule and 2 mm ferrule). Each group was then divided into 3 sub-groups (6 teeth in each group) and restored with cast post-core, glass fiberpost-core, andceramic post-core respectively. After thermocycling specimens , the fracture resistance was measured using a cyclic fatigue testing machine. Data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA (α = 0.05). Results Fiber post-core group exhibited significantly higher resistance to fracture compared with groups of cast post-core and ceramic post-core (P<0.05). Preparing dentin ferrules increased significantly fatigue resistance (P < 0.05). Conclusions Glassfiber posts were able to preserve and reinforce the remaining tooth structures. Dentin ferrule preparation is necessary to enhancefractureresistance.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effect of ferrule preparation (Fp) on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth, restored with composite resin cores with or without glass fiber posts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-four bovine teeth were sectioned 19 or 17 mm (2 mm ferrule) from the apex, endodontically treated and assigned to four groups (n = 11): Group 1: Fp and post; Group 2: Fp and without post; Group 3: without Fp and with post; Group 4: without Fp and without post. All specimens were restored with composite resin core and metal crown. Specimens were subjected to fracture resistance testing in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests (α=0.05). RESULTS: The mean fracture resistance values were as follows: Group 1: 573.3 N; Group 2: 552.5 N; Group 3: 275.3 N; Group 4: 258.6 N. Significantly higher fracture resistance was found for the groups with Fp (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: There was no statistically significant interaction between the "Fp" and "post" factors (p = 0.954). The ferrule preparation increased the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. However, the use of glass fiber post showed no significant influence on the fracture resistance.

Objective To investigate the stress distribution in various tooth heights of ferrule effect in post crown,and to evaluate the biomechanical mechanism in post crown.Methods The three-dimensional finite element entity grid model was constructed,which was a maxillary central incisor restored with post and porcelain fused to metal crown (PFM crown).By imitating the various tooth heights under static loading,the dentin stress was analyzed.Results The stress distribution had an increasing tendency from tooth cervix to root,but it could be decreased by ferrule structures and the decrease degree accorded with the region and height of ferrule.The ferrule effect of the wrapping 1 cm coronal tooth could decrease the stress of the tooth cervix obviously but 2 cm decreased a little.Conclusion The crown wrapping 1 cm coronal can produce ferrule effect obviously and protect the tooth.We can choose to use crown wrapping 2 cm coronal to care the tooth condition.
