Post design and the optimally restored endodontically treated tooth.
The basics for the sound restoration of endodontically treated teeth have not changed despite the advent of new materials and techniques. Adequate retention for posts and crowns, resistance to cyclic shearing forces, minimal insertional stresses, and even distribution of functional stresses are prime requirements that cannot be compromised without jeopardizing the longevity of the final restoration.
