ABSTRACT
Aim:
The primary aim was to evaluate and compare the survivability of corono-radicular direct composite (CRDC) restoration and fiber-reinforced composite post (FRC) followed by coronal restoration for fractured root canal-treated maxillary incisors with a tooth structure loss of 50%–70%.
Methods:
A total of 56 teeth from 49 patients with fractured maxillary central and/or lateral incisors due to trauma were recruited for the study. The teeth were randomly allocated to two groups randomly by lot method. The two treatment groups were as follows: Group I – CRDC and Group II – FRC followed by coronal restoration. The postoperative review was performed at 3-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month period using intraoral periapical radiographs and clinical photographs. The Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire was administered during 24-month review visit. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used to assess the longevity of the restorations.
Results:
There was no significant difference (
Conclusion:
Within the limit of the present study, both CRDC and FRC followed by coronal restoration were equally effective in the management of fractured maxillary incisors with 50%–70% tooth structure loss.
