Post designs may have a direct effect on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. This in vitro study compared the resistance of three prefabricated threaded post systems with lateral shearing forces. After endodontics were completed, prefabricated posts were inserted according to the manufacturer's instructions. A silver amalgam core was placed, and extracted human teeth were prepared to a standard size with a 1 mm gingival chamfer finished on sound dentino A cast was fabricated and cemented, and the specimens were thermocycled. The test samples were secured to an Instron testing machine and loaded until failure. Fracture patterns were recorded, fractured surface areas were measured, and compressive stresses were calculated. However, there were no statistically significant differences among threaded posts in each test group.
Radiographs are commonly used to identify loosened total hip prostheses. Interobserver and intraobserver variation was studied in an attempt to interpret 60 random pairs of radiographs with a time interval of 6 months to 12 years between the radiographs. Each of the four observers evaluated all pairs of radiographs independently, and the evaluations were repeated after 2 to 4 weeks. Each observer classified the femoral stem and the acetabular cup separately as stable or loose. Radiolucent lines of more than 2 mm were recorded. For the acetabular components, any change in inclination or migration was noted, and for the femoral components, subsidence or any change in varus or valgus of the stem was noted. There was considerable disagreement in observations of the acetabular component; agreement by all four observers was obtained in only 34 of 60 cases (57%). For the femoral component, agreement was obtained in 37 cases (62%). The observers agreed two and two (pairwise) on the acetabular component in 70 to 83% of cases and on the femoral component, in 72 to 82% of cases. Intraobserver variation was great with regard to the acetabular component, with kappa values ranging from 0.489 to 0.633. As to the femoral component, kappa values ranged from 0.737 to 0.800. Interpretation of radiographs of artificial hip arthroplasty is difficult, and comparisons between different series of implants should be made by the same person.
Preparation of an endodontic access cavity through a full crown may affect its retention. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects on molar crown retention of endodontic access cavities and their subsequent restoration. Thirty human molars were mounted in resin, crown preparations were cut and their surface areas were determined. Vented metal copings were cemented with zinc phosphate and the forces required to displace each coping were measured using a tensile-testing machine. The copings were recemented, access cavities were cut and their surface areas determined prior to the displacement forces being re-measured. The copings were recemented, assigned to two groups, and the access cavities were restored--Group 1 with amalgam; Group 2 with glass ionomer (GIC). Displacement forces were re-measured and the copings were recemented. The occlusal margins of the access cavities were bevelled and restored again prior to displacement forces being remeasured. Mean displacement forces were - Group 1: Original (kg force), 37.86 +/- 3.97; After access cavity, 29.28 +/- 3.22; Amalgam, 50.21 +/- 4.71; Amalgam + bevel, 46.45 +/- 6.21. Group 2: Original, 42.77 +/- 4.49; After access cavity, 39.25 +/- 5.91; GIC, 48.11 +/- 3.55; GIC + bevel, 39.63 +/- 5.31. Statistical analyses with paired t tests showed that retentive values with access cavities were significantly lower than with intact crowns. Amalgam or GIC restorations increased retention beyond original values, significantly with amalgam. Bevelled occlusal margins decreased retention of crowns with restored access cavities but this was not significantly different from the original values. A significant relationship existed between total surface areas of the crown preparations, areas of the occlusal tables, and retentive values for crowns without access cavities. The access cavity area, as a proportion of the total area of the preparation, was related to the decrease in retention.
