Posts in endodontics- a review

Restoration of teeth after endodontic treatment is an integral part of the restorative practice in dentistry. The prognosis of endodontically treated teeth depends not only on the treatment itself but also on sealing the canal and minimizing the leakage of oral fluids and bacteria into periradicular areas by prompt placement of coronal restorations. The longevity of the coronal restoration is enhanced by placing a sound infrastructure underneath it. So, Posts become the most integral part of the post endodontic restoration.
