Intra-radicular rehabilitation: a clinical approach.
The emphasis in placing posts is shifting from their ability to strengthen the tooth structure to their capacity to provide additional retention and resistance to the displacement of the core material, without inducing undue installation or functional stresses. Numerous post systems are available. The learning objective of this article is to present a recently-introduced system of light-transmitting posts (LTP), with integrated size reamers and metal posts, which simplify the placement technique. A case report is used to illustrate the clinical procedure.
