Abstract

Aim: Aim of study is to evaluate the fracture resistance of the root canal treated Mandibular 1st and 2nd molar teeth with Conventional(TEC) access design and Truss(TREC) access design restored with composite resin and subjected to thermocycling. Method: 60 human 1st and 2nd molar (mandibular) teeth were randomly categorised into six (6) groups: CON (GroupI), TEC (GroupIII), TREC(GroupV) not subjected to thermocycling whereas CONTC (GroupII),TECTC(GroupIV) and TRECTC(GroupVI) subjected to thermocycling. Biomechanical preparation of the canals were done upto #F3 of Protaper gold rotary files (Dentsply) and obturated using gutta-percha points and restored using SDR bulk-fill composite(Dentsply). All samples were then subjected to thermo-cycling for 5000cycles between 15°C and 45°C for different time intervals and their fracture toughness tested under an Universal Tester with steel ball of diameter 5mm at a constant 1mm/min speed. Two-way and one-way ANOVA test employed for statistical analysis. Result: The fracture strength of teeth in TREC group had no notable variation with the control group (P>0.05) without thermocycling. Both TEC and TREC designs notably reduced the fracture toughness after thermocycling (P<0.05). The least fracture resistance was noted in TECTC group. Conclusion: TREC ought to increase the fracture resistance of root canal treated teeth after thermocycling.
