Abstract

Aim: This study aim to compare fracture resistance of mandibular first molar reinforced with horizontal diagonal fibre  post  and vertical metal post  and core preparation after obturation


Materials and methods: Twenty –four  extracted  mandibular first molar teeth were selected,  divided into four groups (GP) - GP I (endodontically  treated-no post)), GP II (horizontal diagonal post design –fibre post), GP III (vertical post – metal). The individual teeth were mounted  on  acrylic bases  and tested under  universal testing machine for fracture resistance.


Results : Group II (horizontal diagonal fibre post) design had higher fracture resistance as compared to the vertical metal post design and no post design and core preparation .


Conclusion : Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that  horizontal diagonal  fibre post design has better fracture resistance as compared to vertical metal post
