Summary
This study reviews immediate post-and-core systems for restoring endodontically treated teeth. It highlights materials like amalgam, resin composites, and glass ionomers, emphasizing factors for optimal post retention and root preservation.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Restoration of endodontically treated teeth often requires foundation restorations.
- Various post-and-core systems, including cast and chairside options, are available.
Observation:
- This article reviews immediate post-and-core techniques using amalgam, resin composites, and glass ionomers.
- Key factors influencing post retention and root preservation are discussed.
- Clinical cases demonstrate the application of different immediate post-and-core techniques.
Findings:
- Immediate chairside post-and-core systems offer ease of production and reduced chairtime.
- Material selection and technique influence post retention and minimize root fracture risk.
- Provisional shells and copper bands can be utilized for fabricating coronal-radicular dowel cores.
Implications:
- Clinicians can select appropriate post-and-core systems to optimize treatment outcomes.
- Immediate techniques provide efficient and effective restoration of endodontically treated teeth.
- Preserving root structure is crucial for long-term success and preventing complications.
