Abstract

The prognosis of endodontically treated teeth depends not only on the success of the endodontic treatment, but also on the type of reconstruction. These considerations include the decision of whether or not to use posts. While metal posts have been the standard for many years, nonmetallic posts have been introduced to address the need for a more esthetic material in the anterior region. One of the most important factors affecting post retention is the luting agent and the bonding procedure steps.
