“…1,9 Two systematic reviews available in the literature show that there is no evidence to support the "best way" to restore endodontically treated teeth. 20,21 A recent study comparing the use of glass fiber posts versus cast metal posts, in teeth with no remaining coronal wall, showed that no difference was found between the groups using these two types of posts, after up to 3 years of follow-up. 5 However, several factors must be borne in mind when choosing the post to be used in restoring ETT, including remaining coronal structure, presence of ferrule and post material.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate if clinical experience, whether in relation to length of practice time and/or level of specialization influences the dentist's preference for using posts to restore endodontically treated teeth. A cross sectional study was carried out using a questionnaire with dentists (n = 276) in Pelotas, southern Brazil. Data were collected regarding clinical experience, post-graduate training, and variables related to restorations (posts/cements and use of rubber dam) for endodontically treated teeth. The data were submitted to a descriptive analysis and associations were tested. The response rate was 68%. Cast metal posts (24.53%), glass fiber posts (20.75%) and resin cement (66.67%) were the most commonly selected materials. In relation to rubber dams, 93.05% of the dentists were found not use them to lute posts. There was a significant association between the level of training of post-graduate dentists and the type of post used (p = 0.027), in that dentists without post-graduate training used cast metal posts more frequently, whereas dentists with post-graduate training reported glass fiber posts as their first choice. The results of the study showed that dentists preferred cast metal posts, glass fiber posts and resin cement. Continuing education influenced the decision of the dentists on their choice of dental posts.

Afrashtehfar KI, Ahmadi M, Emami E, Abi-Nader S, Tamimi F. Failure of single-unit restorations on root filled posterior teeth: a systematic review. International Endodontic Journal, 50, 951-966, 2017. This systematic review investigated the failure rate of conventional single-unit restorations in root filled posterior permanent teeth. Two reviewers independently applied eligibility criteria, extracted data and assessed the quality of the evidence of each included study according to the Cochrane Collaboration's procedures for randomized control trials (RCTs) and the STROBE criteria for observational studies. The MEDLINE (via Ovid), EMBASE (via Ovid), Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register and CENTRAL (via Cochrane Library) databases were searched electronically (January 1993 to week 1, February 2015). This was complemented by an additional hand search of selected journals and the references of relevant studies. Clinical studies published on root filled single-unit restorative treatments with a mean follow-up period of at least 3 years were selected. The outcome measured was clinical or radiological failure. Overall, the four RCTs and the single observational study included were of low and high quality, respectively. Therefore, a meta-analysis was not possible. The pooled mean failure rates were reported according to the type of treatment and remaining coronal tooth structure. The current evidence suggested that the failure rates of the treatments may depend on the amount of remaining tooth structure and type of treatment. Postretained crowns were associated with the most favourable outcome in teeth with one to two remaining coronal tooth wall(s), whereas post-free crowns were superior when greater tooth structure was available. Restorations in teeth without ferrules had such a high rate of failure that other treatment options should be considered.

“…The role of endodontic post is to retain the core material only 7 . 2mm of ferrule is necessary for the tooth restoration with crown [7][8]9,10 . Mechanical stress should be taken under consideration while restoring ETT either anterior or posterior teeth 10,[11][12] .…”

“…It is very important to select which restoration is more suitable for a particular case. There is a variety of restorative materials available such as amalgams, composites, Glass Ionomers and Resin modified GIC which are mostly used directly [6][7][8] . The indirect restorative options could be Ceramics, Metal ceramics, cast gold alloys and base metal alloys which are fabricated in the dental laboratory and cemented 9 .…”

Purpose: The objective of the study is to find out a more suitable restorative material for EET. To provide awareness among dentist regarding choice of restoring material and find out reason for the failure of restoration. Materials and Methods: The methodology of this study is a one page questionnaire which will be designed to investigate the awareness of Decision-making for the choice of restorations for endodontically treated teeth among dentists. The questionnaire will be including questions related to suitable restorative material for ETT. Results: Tooth colored composite was considered to be the material of choice among the dentists when more than half of the natural tooth structure remained after endodontic treatment. Tooth colored composite & prefabricated post with tooth colored crown, both were equally preferred if less than 50% of the tooth structure was remaining. There was no statistically significant difference among the preferred restorative materials in both general dental surgeons and specialists. Majority of the dentist considered that post make effect on the esthetic outcome of the anterior teeth and they consider mechanical stresses while restoring anterior or posterior teeth with restorations. Composite was considered to be the material of choice among both the specialists and general dentists as well. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study and the results following conclusions can be drawn. Composite is considered to be the material of choice among the general dentists and specialists as well. Despite the slight variations, there were no statistically significant differences found between the preference of materials used in the endodontically treated teeth between general dental surgeons and specialists.
