Comparative Evaluation of Microleakage of Anterior Endocrown Vs. Customized Post in Restoring Cases of Permanent Upper Centrals with Wide Flared Root Canal
Medhat Ahmed , Cherif Mohsen
Abstract
This is an invitro study is to compare the performance of innovative technique of adhesive anterior
endocrown compared to the customized fiber post in restoration of flared root canal in a human
permanent upper central incisor. Material and Methods: 40 extracted upper central incirors are
decapitated, endotreated, and artificially flared to resemble wide root canal situations. Samples are
divided into 2 groups (I) Anterior Endocrown, (II) customized post and core, each group is further
subdivided into 2 groups A and B. group A is subjected to Thermocyclic loading, group B used as control.
All samples are immersed in 2% methylene blue dye for 24 h and sectioned to investigate dye leakage.
Results: Groups subjected to loading (IA and IIA) showed more leakage with a significant difference
compared to non-loaded groups (IB and IIB). Anterior endocrown groups showed more leakage than
customized post and core groups but was significant in loaded groups. Conclusion: anterior endocrown is
a viable option for treating wide flared root canal but Glass fiber post stands out as the gold standard for
practice.
