Educational Objectives

Educational Aim:

The aim of this article is to summarize the current evidence-based literature so that clinicians may understand the concepts and biomechanical principles before performing a post-endodontic restoration.

Editor's comments:
Restoration of endodontic-treated teeth is a challenge for most clinicians. To achieve a long-term success rate, clinicians should understand the biomechanical principles and treatment option concepts before performing a post-endodontic restoration.

Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:

  1. Biomechanical principles and restorative decision-making
  2. Use of intra-radicular posts
  3. Ferrule effect
  4. Role of remaining tooth structure
  5. Post and core parameters
  6. Restorative materials – advantages and disadvantages
  7. Post-less approach
  8. Endocrown
