dispensed in a mixing well using the manufacturer’s supplied applicator brush and<br />
22<br />
paper points (Henry Schein, Melville, NY) to length. Paper points were used to wick<br />
the primer to the apex and the excess primer was removed using dry paper points.<br />
RealSeal sealer was dispensed onto a mixing pad and then applied along the entire<br />
length of the canal. When obturation was complete, the RealSeal obturation material<br />
was light cured in the chamber for 80 seconds, which created an immediate coronal<br />
seal. The RealSeal sealer had set in the remainder of the canal for approximately 45<br />
minutes to create a monoblock.<br />
POST SPACE PREPARATION<br />
Post space preparation for all teeth was initiated after 7 days from<br />
obturation 113 by the use of a universal starter drill included in the PeerlessPost Intro-<br />
kit (SybronEndo, Orange, CA) at a speed of 5000 rpm to a depth creating a 9-mm post<br />
space. The canals were rinsed with Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12-percent oral<br />
rinse; Omni Preventive Care, 3M ESPE, West Palm Beach, FL) and dried with paper<br />
points (Henry Schein, Melville, NY).<br />
GROUP CP POST PREPARATION<br />
For group CP, post space preparation was established using Profile O.S.<br />
Orifice Opener (Dentsply, York, PA) size 20 through size 60 to the full 9-mm post<br />
space length. The size of the post space was 0.9 mm and 1.4 mm at the apical end and<br />
the orifice opening, respectively. An anti-rotational box was created on the lingual<br />
surface. Duralay (Reliance Dental Manufacturing, Worth, IL) patterns for casting<br />
were prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions, supported by<br />
prefabricated plastic posts of 23 mm in length after thinning the apical end for a<br />
complete fit in the canal post space. The tooth length from root apex to incisal edge
