[Effects of expansion fashion and expansion quantity on retention of cement-expanded composite screw post].
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of expansion fashion and expansion quantity on retention of cement-expanded composition screw post (CECSP).


METHODS
Ninety simulated tooth roots made of polymethylmethacrylate were divided into ten groups, each fashion induded five groups. The expanded plastic sheath of tricuspid valve was made with the special separated valve device and cemented and tightened up into root with the screw post at the same time by ZPC. Then the root and screw post-core system was tested by the speed of 10 mm/min on the INSTRON 4302 and the retention force was recorded.


RESULTS
It appeared that the difference between different expansion fashion and different expansion quantity were significantly (P < 0.05). The retention of expansion fashion one was significantly greater than those of fashion two. The retention was best when expansion quantity was within 10%.


CONCLUSIONS
During clinic operation, we should apply definite fashion and control the expansion quantity within 10%, and the screw post should tighten up to the bottom of prepared root.
