Biomechanical considerations in restoring endodontically treated teeth

Abstract:
Various concepts for dental treatment have been established without appropriate documentation, such as restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Some researchers and dentists strongly recommend including a post with the restoration to strengthen the root. Other studies have indicated that posts may substantially weaken the roots and should be avoided. An additional approach suggested that the post did not improve the resistance to fracture during occlusion and did not support the restoration. Biomechanical problems are analyzed, and a recommended clinical approach is presented.
