Restoration of endodontically
treated tooth
• Amalgam, resin composite, and glass ionomer in
combination with a prefabricated post
• Amalgam had the lowest failure rate,
• Glass ionomer core buildup materials caused the
greatest number of failures

• Some studies supported the use of amalgam
dowels in the root canals
•
Tamse compared 49 mesial roots extracted due
to vertical fractures with 52 mesial mandibular
roots without fractures,
• and found that 67.3% of the vertically fractured
roots had an amalgam dowel in the coronal part
(1-2mm) of the root.
• In another study, endodontically treated teeth
not crowned after obturation were lost 6
times more often than teeth crowned after
obturation

94% survival rate of metal post-and-cores with
a crown

• Another 17-year controlled prospective study
showed that the type of core restorations
under the crowns had no effect on the survival
rate of 307 endodontically treated teeth

Post-core
• The use of posts does not reinforce
endodontically treated teeth and some
reports even show that teeth which were
restored without a post and core are less
susceptible to fracture than teeth with post
and core

Post-core
• Its success relies on the success of the entire
system and vice versa.
• For anterior restorations, consider using a
ceramic or light-colored fiber post made of
quartz, silicone or glass fibers.
Post Shape
• Posts come in three basic shapes: parallel,
tapered, and parallel-tapered
Parallel
• Parallel posts are more retentive than tapered
ones.
• They seem less likely to cause root fractures,
distributing stresses evenly along their length.
• However, parallel posts require removal of
more tooth structure than tapered ones and,
therefore, may not be suitable for roots with
thin walls.
Tapered
• Tapered posts allow for minimal dentin removal
since most roots themselves are tapered.
• The stresses absorbed by these posts are
concentrated in the apex
• Creating a wedging effect and increasing the risk
of vertical root fracture.
• Because of this increased risk when tapered
posts fail, they are more likely to leave the tooth
unrestorable.
Parallel-tapered
• Advantages of both designs with few reported
disadvantages.
• This post has a parallel shaft, tapering at the
apical end.
• This mix achieves retention associated with
parallel sides, while allowing tooth
preservation at the apex.
Length and Diameter
• Post retention improves with increases in post
length, rather than diameter.
• An increase in post length with a minimum
diameter preserves tooth structure and
reduces shear stresses and risk of fracture.
• Diameter is important for strength and
resistance to post fracture
• Sequential use of post twist drills, starting
with narrowest and working up to the desired
post diameter, can be useful in minimizing
tooth loss during post-space preparation.[
The groove is normally located where the root
is bulkiest, usually on its lingual aspect.
Rotational resistance in
an extensively damaged
tooth can be obtained
by preparing a small
groove in the root canal.
This must be in the path
of placement of the post
and core.
Influence of post and cores on light
transmission through all-ceramic
crowns
• Some ceramic systems are semi-translucent
(IPS Empress®, Ivoclar Vivadent)
• Others are semi-opaque (In-Ceram®, Vident,
Brea, CA).
• A traditional metal post (gold or titanium)
results in poor esthetics because of the lack of
light transmission.
• . Metallic posts also create a light blue/gray
appearance at the gingival margin, possibly as
a result of shadows.

• Cormier et al: fracture strength of zirconia post varied according to
the different stages of tooth restoration.
• When the post alone was bonded into tooth, fracture strength was
101.5 N;
•
when the post was bonded into tooth with core buildup, fracture
strength was 179.7 N;
•
with post and core buildup as well as full veneer restoration,
fracture strength was 238.8 N

• The bond strengths of luting agents to
zirconia posts were measured without
bonding to any tooth structure, and it was
shown that a dual-cured resin cement,Panavia
(Kuraray, Osaka), produced better results than
other cement types

zirconia posts might be the preferred clinical
choice for preventing coronal microleakage

• zirconia posts showed the highest
radiodensity level, followed by metallic posts,
carbon fiber posts, glass fiber posts, and
carbon fiber post covered with quartz fiber.
• In a study by Dietschi et al.
• It was reported that the carbon fiber post
presented the lowest marginal gap proportion
(7.11%) compared to other post types which
• presented higher degrees of marginal gap
formation:
• titanium post at 11%, zirconia post at 16.5%, and
• stainless steel post at 17.4%

sixty-six extracted maxillary central

Six teeth were used as positive and negative
control
• other sixty teeth were divided into 3 groups, each
group containing 20 teeth
• apical dye leakage in each group was measured
by astereomicroscope
• Minimal mean dye leakage was related to the
hot plugger group
• Maximum mean leakage was observed in
Gates glidden drill group
• Kwan and Harrington (1981) and Madison and
Zakariasen (1984) found that post space
preparation with Gates Glidden drills
immediately after obturation actually
decreased the amount of apical leakage.

• Slight frictional heat which softens the GP
before removal
• Fast and effective
• The bur does not engage the dentin so canal
shape remains unaltered and the frictional
heat generated is minimal
