Abstract

The aim of the present work was to measure the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth that were apicoected with different procedures. Seventy-two extracted human maxillary anterior teeth were included in this study. The specimens were randomly assigned to three main groups according to the apical surgery procedures and then two subgroups according to the irrigation protocols during root canal treatment and total of six groups were obtained (n = 12). Group 1: served as a control and apical surgery process was not performed in this group. Group 2: apical surgery process was performed with tungsten carbide fissure bur Group 3: apical surgery process was performed with Er:YAG laser. Subgroup a: In this group, the specimens were irrigated with %5 NaOCl. Subgroup b: 15% EDTA solution was filled into the root canal and then agitated using a 1.5 W/100 Hz diode laser. The specimens were filled and mounted in acrylic resin blocks and compression strength test was performed. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA. The statistical analysis revealed that there were no statistical significant differences between apical surgery procedures (groups 1, 2, and 3) (p < 0.05). Apical resection procedures did not affect the fracture resistance Significant differences were determined between the subgroups (p < 0.05). Agitation of the EDTA with the diode laser reduced the fracture resistance of the specimens. The different canal irrigation techniques altered resistance to fracture; however, apical surgery procedures did not altered the resistance to fracture when compared with the control group.
