Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) and cohort studies comparing the incidence of root fractures of metallic and fibre-reinforced composite posts with more than five years follow up were considered. Two ...

If you suspect a patient has a vertical root fracture (VRF) in an endodontically treated tooth, what clinical tool is best to help you make that diagnosis? Researchers from the University of Toronto ...

A commercially available obturation material may better at preventing vertical root fractures than gutta-percha, according to a new systematic review that looked at vertical root fracture incidence in ...

Background: The study investigated the fracture resistance of root-filled maxillary premolars with class II cavities restored by different restorations. Methods: A total of 55 intact maxillary ...

A new biocompatible polymer-based composite material could soon replace metal plates in treating difficult and unstable fractures. Developed at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the ...

A fracture is a broken bone. Doctors will use different methods to repair bone fractures depending on their location, type, and severity. Fractures can be complete or partial. Some require surgery or ...

A new biocompatible polymer-based composite material could soon replace metal plates in treating difficult and unstable fractures. The newly-developed material is as strong as dental composites yet ...
