title: Trends in indirect dentistry: 2. post and core restorations.
abstract: Modern post preparation techniques reflect a change from what was once considered a prosthodontic procedure to one which marries endodontic principles with sound understanding of mechanical objectives. This article presents a rationale for techniques in materials selection and post-space preparation. A review of literature is presented and practical clinical guidelines are suggested when post placement is considered the treatment of choice.
