A

Tested the biomechanical properties of dentin from 23 endo tx’d teeth (avg. 10 year post-tx). Compared to contralateral vital teeth. Aside from a slight difference in hardness, the properties were compatible. IE Endo tx’d teeth are not more brittle!

Q

Why do endo tx’d teeth seem more brittle?

Reeh 1989

A

It is the loss of structural integrity associated with the access preparation, rather than changes in the dentin, that lead to a higher occurrence of fractures in endodontically treated teeth compared with vital teeth.
