Interim Types of post
Ikram OH etal compared the volume of hard tooth tissue lost
after caries removal, access cavity preparation, root canal
preparation, fibre post space and cast post preparation in
carious premolar teeth.
The percentage of preoperative hard tooth tissue volume lost
after caries removal was 8.3 +/- 5.83, after access cavity
preparation the loss of volume reached 12.7 +/- 6.7%
(increase of 4.4%). After root canal preparation, fibre post
space and cast post preparation the hard tissue volume lost
reached, 13.7 +/- 6.7 (increase of 1%), 15.1 +/- 6.3 (increase
of 1.4%) and 19.2 +/- 7.4 (increase of 4.1%) respectively
Each procedure performed after caries removal significantly
increased the amount of hard tissue volume lost with the
exception of the root canal preparation

The survival relationship between the root
canal treated posterior teeth with and without
crown placement
Coronal coverage with full cast crown reduced
the risk of tooth fracture
Endodontically treated teeth with crowns had a
survival rate six times greater than that of teeth
without crowns
1700s Fauchard inserted wooden dowels in
canals of teeth to aid in crown retention
The wood would expand in the moist
environment to enhance retention of the dowel
In 1869, Black favored the use of metal posts
in which a porcelain-faced crown was secured
by a screw passing into a gold-lined root canal.
In mid-1800s, Clark developed a device which
was extremely practical for its time because it
included a tube that allowed drainage from the
apical area or the canal
In 1878, Richmond crown was introduced it
incorporated a threaded tube in the canal with a
screw retained crown
In 1958, Hampson EL etal and Demas NC et al;
modified to eliminate the threaded tube and was
redesigned as a 1-piece dowel and crown
Endodontically treated teeth are weakened
due to decreased or altered tooth structure
attributed to:
caries and/or previous restorations
fracture or trauma
endodontic access and instrumentation
decreased moisture
The weakness is directly correlated to the
quantity of lost dentine.
Microbial induced degradation or modification of collagen can cause deterioration of strength and toughness of dentin.
Products used for root canal irrigation and disinfection interact with mineral and organic contents and significantly reduce dentin modulus of elasticity & micro-hardness
Disinfectants like eugenol and formocresolincrease the tensile strength of dentin via protein coagulation chelation with hydroxyapatite
Randow and Glantz reported that teeth have a
protective feedback mechanism that is lost in
nonvital and root canal treated teeth,which also may
contribute to tooth fracture
Sedgley and Messer tested the biomechanical
properties of dentin of endodontically treated teeth
and vital teeth of contralateral side and concluded
that endodontically treated teeth are not more brittle
Sorensen, J.A. and J.T. Martinoff reported that
endodontically treated posterior teeth with intra-
coronal restorations show a high risk of unrestorable
cusp fracture. The use of crowns can significantly
improve the success for posterior teeth.

Wagnild et al (2002) summarized the ideal physical properties of a post that include:
Maximum protection of the root.
Adequate retention within the root.
Biocompatible / noncorrosive
Maximum retention of the core and crown.
Maximum protection of the crown margin cement seal.
Pleasing esthetics
Radiopaque
Amount of coronal tooth structure
Tooth anatomy
Position of the tooth in the arch
Root length
Root width
Canal configuration
Functional requirements of the tooth
Torquing force
Stresses
Development of hydrostatic pressure
Post design
Post material
Material compatibility
Bonding capability
Core retention
Retrievability
Esthetics
Crown material
Of paramount importance to the longevity of
the restored endodontically treated tooth is the
presence of adequate height (1.5-2 mm) of
sound tooth structure, or ferrule, between the
core and the crown margin
A tapered post without
a ferrule predisposes
the tooth to root
fracture, due to occlusal
forces being directed
internally down the
canal.
The post to
dislodgement,
due to occlusal
forces directed
down the canal
causing fatigue
failure of
cement.
Rosen in 1961 suggested that the “hugging action”
Eissman and Radke (1987) used the term ferrule effect to
describe this 360-degree ring of cast metal and
recommended extension of the definitive cast restoration at
least 2 mm apical to junction of the core and remaining tooth
structure.
The ferrule provides bracing or casing action to protect the
integrity of the root.
Wagnild et al (2002) emphasized that the crown and core
must meet five requirements for a crown preparation to be
successful:
(1) a minimum of 2 mm dentin axial wall height
(2) parallel axial walls
(3) the metal (core) must totally encircle the tooth
(4) it must be on solid tooth structure and
(5) it must not invade the attachment apparatus.
Gegauff AG (1999) reported although the crown-lengthening allows a ferrule, it also leads to a much less favorable crown-to-root ratio and therefore increased leverage on the root during function
adequate circumferential tooth structure for the vital tooth can best be gained by
surgical crown lengthening
forced orthodontic eruption or
sub-gingival preparation and prolonged temporization to allow reestablishment of the
biological width
Root anatomy such as root curvature, mesio-distal width,
and labio-lingual dimension dictates post selection
ANTERIOR TEETH
If no crown is required, a post is generally unnecessary.
If a crown is necessary, a post is generally required.
POSTERIOR TEETH (crowns generally required)
Molar with an adequate pulp chamber don’t require a post.
Molar with inadequate pulp chamber may require a post.
Maxillary bicuspids generally require a post.
Mandibular bicuspids require independent consideration.
Goerig et al (1983) found that lateral excursive forces can shear the remaining cusp or cause vertical root fracture
Greater emphasis on the adhesively retained core is given to posterior teeth because of their close approximation to the transverse hinge axis, muscle of mastication and the morphological characteristics of the tooth
All endodontically treated maxillary premolars and most mandibular second premolars should receive cuspal coverage to protect the remaining cusps during occlusion.
The greater the post length, the better the retention and stress distribution
The length and shape of the remaining root determines the length of the post
The use of reinforced composite luting agents may compensate for the reduced post length
For molars with short roots the placement of more than one post will provide additional retention for the core foundation restoration
Stern and Hirshfeld (1973) suggest
the post width should not be
greater than one third of the root
width at its narrowest dimension.
(Propotionist)
Preservationist (Halle EB et al; 1984) proposed that the
post should be surrounded by a minimum of 1mm of sound
dentin.
Pilo and Tamse (2000) advocated minimal canal
preparation and maintaining as much residual dentin as
possible (conservationist approach).
Torsional forces on the post-core-crown unit
may lead to loosening and displacement of the
post from the canal
resistance to torsional forces is integral to the
survival of the post-core-crown unit
Active post designs provide greater torsional
resistance than a passive post
Post and core restored endodontically treated
teeth are subjected to various types of
stresses: compression, tensile and shear
an increase in the post length with the diameter
kept to a minimum will help to reduce shear
stresses and preserve tooth structure.
Peters MT et al; 1983, and Fernandes AS et al; 2001 reported an increase in stress within the root canal during cementation because of the development of hydrostatic pressure
The fitting stresses can be reduced by careful placement of the post and by using a proper post design with a cement vent to permit escape of the luting agent
The more viscous the cement, the greater the development of the hydrostatic pressure
The surface characteristics of the post also change
the retentive values
threaded > serrated surface >smooth surface
if the available post space is short 5 to 6 mm, a
more retentive active post is indicated.
If post space is 8 to 9 mm and the canal is not
funnel shaped, a tapered post may be a better
choice,
The material used for the post should have
physical properties similar to that of dentin, can be
bonded to the tooth structure, and biocompatible in
the oral environment
Posts with a high modulus of elasticity do not flex
with the tooth under loading and are empirically
believed to cause root fractures
the modulus of elasticity for stainless steel and
Zirconia is roughly 20 times greater than dentin
72% of longitudinal and oblique root fractures to prolonged electrolytic reaction between dissimilar post and core metals
Corrosion of the post may be initiated because of the access of the electrolyte to the post surface, through microleakage around the coronal restoration, and through the accessory canals
Noble metals > titanium alloys > non metallic
The bonding of a post to the tooth structure
should improve the prognosis by increasing
post retention and by reinforcing the tooth
structure
resin luting agents showed good adhesion to
carbon fiber posts and glass fiber posts.
The adhesion to Zirconia posts was found to be
unsatisfactory
The primary reason for using a post is to retain
the core and the post head design is an
important factor
It should provide adequate retention and
resistance to displacement of the core material.
Bonding techniques are crucial to reinforce the
retention of the core to the post head
Ideally the post system should be easy for the clinician to retrieve the post without substantial loss of tooth structure
Post removal can be preformed by conventional rotary instruments and solvents
Other Post retrival intruments include the MasseranKit, Post Removal System, Endodontic extractors, and ultrasonic unit Roto-Pro bur
a combination of tube extractors with cyanoacrylate will aid in post removal by breaking up the cement
Freedman (2001) and Vichi (2000) have emphasized the need to have the color of the foundation restoration as close to that of natural dentin
This concern has led to the development of posts made from reinforced resins or ceramics in an effort to eliminate the color deficiency
The availability of different cement shades permits minor esthetic corrections under all ceramic crowns
good apical seal
no sensitivity to pressure
no exudate
no fistula
no apical sensitivity
no active inflammation
