Fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with bonded amalgam and full crowns.
The use of dentin bonding prior to placement of core build-up restorations has been shown to reduce microleakage and reinforce remaining tooth structure. However, information is lacking about the influence a core build-up has on the fracture resistance of crowned teeth. The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare the influence of three types of core build-ups on the fracture resistance of crowned teeth.
