미성숙 영구치는 치아우식증, 외상, 비정상적인 치아 형태로 인한 파절 등에 의하여 치수 생활력을 상실할 수 있다. 이때 이용되는 치료법이 치근단 형성술로서 실활치의 치근단 치수 부위에 광화된 조직의 형성을 통하여 치근단 폐쇄를 유도한다. 현재 수산화칼슘 치근단 형성술이 가장 많이 이용되는데 근관 내에 수산화칼슘을 장기간 적용할 경우 치근단 경조직 형성을 유도할 수 있지만, 강한 알칼리성으로 인하여 치근 약화를 야기하여 치아 파절 위험성이 높아진다. 그러므로 근관 충전 시 치아보강을 위한 수복이 고려되어야 한다. 본 증례는 생활력을 상실한 미성숙 영구치에서 장기간의 수산화칼슘 치근단 형성술 후 치아 보강을 위하여 MTA plug, 섬유강화형 포스트 그리고 복합 레진을 이용한 근관 충전을 시도하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Statement of problem : Fiber-reinforced posts have lower modulus of elasticity than titanium post or cast post-core. With this similar elasticity to that of dentin, fiber-reinforced posts have been known to have a tendency to reduce the risk of root fracture. However, there were few studies on the teeth restored with fiber-reinforced posts under the condition of reduced periodontal support. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength and failure mode of endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber-reinforced posts and titanium posts under the condition of reduced periodontal support. Material and method : Extracted human maxillary incisor roots were divided into 3 groups (group 1 carbon fiber post, group 2 : glass fiber post, and group 3 : titanium alloy post). After coronectomy and endodontic treatment, teeth were restored with each post systems and resin core according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Then, teeth with simulated periodontal ligament were embedded in the acrylic resin blocks at the level of 4 mm below the cemento-enamel junction. Each specimen was exposed to $10^5$ load cycles with average 30 N force in $36.5^{\circ}C$ water using a computer-controlled chewing simulator. Loads were applied at $45^{\circ}$ angle to the long axis of the teeth. After cyclic loading, teeth were subjected a compressive load until failure at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Fracture strength (N) and failure mode were examined. The fracture strength was analyzed with one-way ANOVA and the Scheffe adjustment at the 95% significance level. Results and conclusion : The results were as follows. 1. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean fracture strength among the groups (P<.05). 2. Carbon fiber post and glass fiber post group showed less root fracture tendency than control group. 3. All specimens with root fractures showed fracture lines above the level of acrylic resin block, except for only one specimen in group 3.
