title: New aspects of restoring the endodontically treated tooth.
abstract: It is common practice to 'reinforce' the endodontically treated tooth with a post-and-core combination (either custom or prefabricated) and ultimately restore it with a crown. Many studies have looked at the post, treatment of the post surface, the cements and other factors. It appears that, regardless of the treatment of the post surface, current post cementing technology enables the practitioner to achieve higher retention than previously possible.
