A glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer coated blank is combined with glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer to create an integral mono-block post. prefabricated glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer post (with or without a coated blank) is cemented into the root canal with glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer, thereby creating a mono-block post as well as a mono-block core. The glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer cement is bonded to the canal wall and also through the bonding of the cement to the post surface of similar material. An alternate methodology involves syringing glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer in a malleable, semi-solid state into the post preparation space and a glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer coated blank is then inserted into the canal to a distance substantially equal to the depth of the post preparation.
1) An integral glass ionomer endodontic post system comprising a post, said post being coated with a glass ionomer to bond with at least one of external glass ionomer cement or resin modified glass ionomer cement in the tooth, to form a mono-block post and core.
A method of sealing a root canal comprising the steps of
The method of sealing a root canal further comprising the step of resin modifying said glass ionomer.
An integral glass ionomer post mono-block in an endodontic root canal comprising:
9) A prefabricated glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer post and core comprising:
