POST AND CORE MANAGEMENT OF MAXILLARY RIGHT LATERAL INCISOR: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Post is commonly used to provide adequate support and retention for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Following in the wake of changing treatment concepts, the material market for posts has undergone a complete makeover. Ranging from the era of wooden posts to metal posts and more recently, carbon fiber, glass fiber, and ceramic posts, the material and design options are infinite. The longevity of endodontically involved teeth has been greatly enhanced by continuing developments made in endodontic therapy and restorative procedures. It has been reported that a large number of endodontically treated teeth are restored to their original function with the use of intraradicular devices.. The selection of post design is important, because it may have an influence on the longevity of the tooth
